Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator. While decelerating, electric energy will becreated and used to charge to the main drive lithium-ion battery.  If you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal while driving, a braking force thatequivalent to the engine braking of a gas- oline or diesel powered vehicle engine vehicle will
be generate.
For increased regenerative braking, set the selector lever to “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or “ECO” (ECOMODE) as follows: • “B”: Strong regenerative braking (For downhill driving)• “ECO”: Moderate regenerative braking (For economical driving or gentle down- hill driving)
 As greater brake fo
rce is applied by
depressing the brak
e pedal, increased
regenerative braking occurs.
N01200300015
 Keep the brake pedal depressed until you are ready to drive. When the vehicle is inthe “D” (DRIVE), “ECO” (ECO MODE),“B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or “R” (REVERSE) position, if you release the brake pedal and even if you donot depress accelerator, the vehicle will creep and may move slowly.
Regenerative braking
WA R N I N G
NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly
full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temperature is too high or too low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced and stronger service brake effortmay be required to operate the brakes. When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is no longer full or near full,
or the main drive lith-
ium-ion battery temperature has returned to a normal range, the regene
rative brake force
will resume.  If a problem occurs in the electric motor unit, or if the ABS and/or the ASC have been acti-vated, the regenerati
ve braking will be
restricted. The service brakes will still oper- ate.
Main drive lithium-ion battery
WA R N I N G The main drive lithium-ion battery is a sealed high voltage battery and has nouser serviceable parts.
• To avoid severe burn
s and/or
electrical
shock that may result in serious injury ordeath, never attempt to detach the maindrive lithium-ion battery from the vehi- cle or try to disassemble it.• Never attempt to dispose or recycle themain drive lithium-ion battery by your- self. Consult with a certified i-MiEVdealer, when the main drive lithium-ion battery is disposed or recycled.• Never attempt to use the main drive lith-ium-ion battery for any other purpose.CAUTION To help prevent damage to the main drive lithium-ion battery, foll
ow the instructions
described below. Failure
to do so can result
in damage to the main
drive lithium-ion bat-
tery that will not
be covered by the main
drive lithium-ion battery warranty.• Do not leave your vehicle with the energylevel gauge (Refer to
“Energy level gauge”
on page 5-40) showing 0 bars.• Repeatedly performing quick charging canreduce battery capacity. Regular charging isrecommended unless quic
k charging is nec-
essary.WA R N I N G

 The capacity of the lithium-ion battery used as the main drive lithium-ion battery on your i-MiEV, like other commonly used lithium ion batt
eries, will decrease
according to time and usage. This type of decrease in battery capacity is normal, and is not indicative of a
ny defect or failure in
your main drive lithium-ion battery. As the main drive lithium-ion battery capac- ity decreases, the in
itial cruising range of
the vehicle will si
milarly decrease.
 Mitsubishi Motors estimates that after 5 years, the capacity of the main drive lith-ium-ion battery provided with your vehi- cle will be a
pproximately 80% of the
original capacity. Af
ter 10 years, the
capacity should be approximately 70% of the original capacity. These are only esti- mates, and the actual capacity of yourvehicle battery over
time will depend on a
variety of factors including how your vehicle is used, stored and charged. Fac- tors that can adve
rsely affect battery
capacity over time incl
ude frequent driv-
ing using aggressive
acceleration/deceler-
ation, repeated frequent use of the quick charger, and operation/storage in extremetemperature environments.  The main drive lithium-ion battery has a limited service life, and when its chargingcapacity falls, owne
rs should bring their
vehicle to a certified i-MiEV dealer for inspection and possible battery replace-ment.  For details regardi
ng the warranty cover-
age for the main drive lithium-ion battery,refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Manual.
N01200400016
The distance you can driv
e the vehicle (cruis-
ing range) depends on
a number of factors
including available char
ge, weather, tempera-
ture, usage, battery age, topography, and driv- ing style. When the main drive lithium-ion battery is new, the estimated cruising rangewith a fully charged main drive lithium-ion battery is 62 miles (100 km) based on the EPA laboratory test commonly called thecombined range. Your actual range can vary, either initially or as the battery ages and with use over time.As the main drive lithium-ion battery capac- ity decreases, the cruising range of the vehi- cle will similarly decrease. Refer to“Decrease of battery capacity” on page 3-4.
 Do not store your vehicle at ambient temper- atures above 131 °F (55 °C) for over 24hours, or below -13 °F (-25 °C) for over 7 days. The tempera- tures may damage the
main drive lithium-ion
battery.NOTE
 It is recommended that your vehicle be stored at temperatures below 77 °F (25 °C)to help maximize the life of the main drive lithium-ion battery.
Decrease of battery capacity
CAUTION
NOTE
 To help maintain the capacity of the main drive lithium-ion batter
y, the following are
recommended:
• Fully charge the vehicle by regular charg-ing every 2 weeks. • Do not repeat charging when the main drive lithium-ion battery is at
or near full charge.
Cruising range
NOTE
Since cooling or he
ating consumes power
from the main drive lithium-ion battery,operation of these functions will reduce the cruising range.NOTE
