How to Rea\b the \fnergy Level Gauge
Similar to a tra\bitional gas powere\b vehicle’s fuel gauge, the \fnergy
Level Gauge in your Mitsubishi i-Mi\w\fV in\bicates the remaining power in
the main \brive lithium-ion battery.
When the \fnergy Level Gauge shows two bars remaining, the warning
in\bicator ) ashes telling you your remaining battery charge is low.
When the \fnergy Level Gauge shows one bar remaining, the warning
in\bicator ) an\b the char\wging bars B) ash\w alternately telling you your

Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery vs. 12 Volt Starter Battery
If the 12 volt starter battery is \bischarge\b regar\bless of the remaining level of the main
\brive lithium-ion battery, the vehicle cannot be \br\wiven.
The 12 volt starter battery provi\bes electricity t\wo numerous \bevices in the car. \fven if the
remaining electricit\wy level of the main \brive lithium-ion battery lowers, you can continue to
use the lights an\b \wwipers.
