The brightness level
of the instruments is
stored when the electric motor switch isturned off.  If the 12V starter battery is disconnected for a long time, these level of brightness will bereset.
Cruising range indicator
NOTE
 The cruising range is displayed based on the past drive data. It ma
y vary depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving situation, etc.) and
air conditioning operation
status.For example, the cruising range can be short- ened by driving on congested roads, by driv- ing uphill, by repeated ha
rd acceleration, and
by use of the air cond
itioner and heater.
When the 12V starter battery terminal is dis- connected, the power consumption data of the main drive lithium-ion battery in the pastis deleted. A differen
t value from before may
be displayed. Be sure
to use the display only
for reference.NOTE

It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined bydistributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis- tributing to each axle its share of the curbweight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight;(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.  Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard e
quipment including the
maximum capacity of oil, and coolant.
 Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those st
andard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats,
radio, and heater,
to the extent that these items are available as factory- installe
d equipment (whether
installed or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity.  Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not prev
iously considered in
curb weight or accessory weight, includ- ing heavy duty brakes,
ride levelers, roof
rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the number of specified occupants.(In your vehicle the number is 2)  Occupant distributi
on: distribution of
occupants in a vehicle as specified. (Inyour vehicle the distribution is 2 in front seat)

The tire and loading information placard is located on the driver’s door sill. This placard shows the maximum number of occupants permitted to
ride in your vehicle as
well as “the combined
weight of occupants
and cargo” (C), which
is called the vehicle
capacity weight. This
placard also tells you
the size and recomme
nded inflation pressure
for the original equipment tires on your vehi-cle. For more information, refer to “Tires” on page 9-10.
WA R N I N G Never overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicl
e, adversely affect
vehicle performance, including handlingand braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

 In the following circumstances, moisture can form on compact discs and inside theaudio system, preventing normal opera- tion. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining). • When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after the heater is turned onin cold weather. In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry out.
 When the CD player is subjected to vio- lent vibrations, such as during off-roaddriving, the tracking may not work.  When storing compact discs, always store them in their separate
cases. Never place
compact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is high. Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect the sound quality. When handli
ng a compact disc,
always hold it by the outer edge and thecenter hole.  To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole
toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint thi
nner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the disc.  Do not use a ball point
pen, felt pen, pen-
cil, etc. to write on the label surface of thedisc.  Do not put additional la
bels or stickers on
compact discs. Also, do not use any com-pact disc on which a label or sticker has started to peel off or any compact disc that has stickiness or ot
her contamination left
by a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD player may stop working properly and you may not beable to eject the compact disc.
N00751900112
 You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD record- ers (CD-R/RW drives), either due to theirrecording characteristics or dirt, finger- prints, scratches, etc.
on the disc surface.
 CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordi- nary music CDs and can therefore be damaged and rendered unplayable if left inside your vehicle for a long time.  Depending on the combination of the writing software, the CD recorder (CD- R/RW drive), and the disc used to create a CD-R/RW, the disc might not play suc-cessfully.  This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the sessi
on is not closed.
 This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain data other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.). Be sure to observe the handling instruc- tions for the CD-R/RW disc.

The coolant level in th
is reservoir should be
kept between the “F (FULL)” and the “L electric motor is cold. If necessary, add cool- ant. Refer to “To add coolant” on page 9-6.

Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation on all metals, including alumi- num.
If you need to add coolant often, the cooling system should be pressure-tested for leaks.Take your vehicle to a certified i-MiEV dealer for testing.
N00955800010
The reservoir cap (E) must be tightly sealedto prevent losing coolant which may result in electric motor or nearby parts of the roomunder the hood damage. Only use a Genuine Mitsubishi Parts rese
rvoir cap, or an
approved equivalent.
N00955700019
 Do not overfill the reservoir.  Your vehicle uses a special reservoir cap that stays sealed and keeps the pressure inthe reservoir below the allowable pres- sure. If you need to change the cap, use the exact same kind.  Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only when it is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con-tents of the reservoi
r must be protected
against freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean.
To add coolant Use “Mitsubishi Motors
Genuine Super Long
Life Coolant Premium”

ity ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technologyFULL LOW
CAUTION Do not use alcohol or
methanol antifreeze or
any coolants that c
ontain them. Using the
wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminumparts.  The required concentration of anti-freeze dif- fers depending on the
expected ambient tem-
perature. Above -31 °F (-35 °C): of anti-freeze Below -31
