Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it. P.8-13
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that
no one is near the vehicl
e. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free
a stuck vehicle may result
in transmission failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in thedriving area and in accordance with the guidelines and warnin
gs contained within
the documents accompanying this vehicle.Only Mitsubishi Motors approved acces- sories should be fitt

Improper installation of
electrical parts
could cause fire. Refer to the “Modifica- tion/alterations to the electrical systems” Tires and wheels which do not meet spec- ifications must not be used. Refer to the “Specifi
cations” section for
information regarding wheel and tire sizes.
Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts provided by different man- ufacturers in the market, it is not always pos- sible for a certified i-MiEV dealer to checkwhether the attachment
or installation of non-
Mitsubishi Motors genuine parts will affect the driving safety of your Mitsubishi-vehicle.

A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response for conven- tional vehicles would
also require the same
response for electric vehicles. Also follow the instru
ctions described below
to avoid severe burns a
nd electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death. 10- Quick charge portIn case of a collision
WA R N I N G If your vehicle is dri
vable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby locationand remain on the scene. Also, if possible, do the following opera- tions and stay out of the way of anyoncoming traffic while awaiting the arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.• Move the selector
lever to the “P”
• Apply the parking brake.• Open the windows,
doors and liftgate.
• Turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position.• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.• Move the key away from the vehicle to prevent unintended start-up of the sys- tem by inadvertent co
ntact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec- tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-ion battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside
or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see “High- voltage components” on page 3-34. If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the floor. Leaks or damage to the main drive lith- ium-ion battery may result in a fire. If youdiscover them, contact emergency services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium manganite from the Lithium-ionbattery, never touch any fluid leaking from the inside or outs
ide of the vehicle. If
the fluid contacts you
r skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to help
avoid serious injury.
If you are unable to safely assess the vehi- cle due to vehicle damage, do not touchthe vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency responders that this is
an electric vehicle.
WA R N I N G
If a fire occurs in th
is vehicle,
leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contactemergency services. Do not attempt toextinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire involves a lithium-ion battery, it will require large, sustained volumes of waterfor extinguishment.
Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious injury or death fromelectrical shock. When you leave the ve
hicle, if possible,
open the windows,
doors and liftgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/com- bustible gasses. This will also assist in therescue and fire fighting process. As with any vehicle fi
re, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale smoke, vapors, or gas
from the vehicle.
Move to a safe distan
ce upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire
and out of the way of
any oncoming traffic
while awaiting the
arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
If you detect leaking
fluids, sparks, smoke,
flames, gurgling, popp
ing or hissing noises
originating from the
high voltage battery
compartment, contact emergency services immediately. This may result in a fire. Physical damage to the vehicle or high voltage battery may result in immediate ordelayed release of t
oxic and/or flammable
gases and fire.WA R N I N G

N01203401056
The MiEV Remote System has the following three functions. Charging Timer
P.3-41
When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con-nected, the batteries will only charge during the pre-set
time period selected
using the MiEV Remote.
Remote Climate Control
P.3-47
When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con-nected, the air-conditi
oner or heater can
be activated for up to 30 minutes prior to vehicle usage. This feature can beused to cool or heat the car and to acti- vate the front and rear window defroster.
Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Level Indicator
P.3-50
The charge remaining in the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery can be con-firmed through the MiEV Remote.
For your quick reference, refer to “Basic operation of the MiEV Remote” on page 3-40.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans- port the vehicle on a
flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle either with all wheels or therear wheels (drive
wheels) off the ground.
If the rear wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to the elec-tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if wiring in the electric motor unit room becomes damaged. Refer to “Towing” onpage 8-11. Do not attempt to repair a damaged elec- tric vehicle yourself. Please contact a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer for service. In the event of an ac
cident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered
to a Certified i-MiEV
dealer to have the main drive lithium-ion battery and high voltage
parts such as the
inverter, including the attached wiringharness, removed prior to painting. If exposed to heat in the paint booth, the main drive lithium-ion battery will experi-ence battery capacity loss. A damaged main drive lithium-ion battery can also pose safety risks to untrainedmechanics and repair personnel.NOTE
The emergency shut-off
system will be acti-
vated and the high-volta
ge system will auto-
matically turn off under the following conditions:WA R N I N G
• Certain front, side or rear collisions. • Certain EV (Electric Vehicle) system mal- functions.
When the emergency shut
-off system is acti-
vated, the ready indicato
r is turned off. Refer
to “Indicator and warning light package” on page 5-43. If the emergency shut-off system activates, contact a Certifie
d i-MiEV dealer.

WA R N I N G Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result
in an accident.
After adjusting the se
at, make sure that
the seat is securely locked into position.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death during deployment of thedriver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still enables
you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious injury or
death during deploy-
ment of the passeng
er’s airbag, always
properly wear the seat
belt and adjust the
front passenger’s seat as far back as possi- ble. Always place childr
en 12 years old and
under in the rear seat
and use appropriate
child restraint systems.CAUTION Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex- pected accident might occur. Do not place a cushion
or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints willbe reduced in the event of an accident. When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your hand or leg. When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay careful attention to
the rear seat passen-
gers.WA R N I N G
