This displays the approximate cruising range(how many more miles
or kilometres you can
drive). When the cruising range becomes short, the indicatio
n changes to “---”.
CAUTIONThe customer is responsible for making sure that regular inspections
and maintenance are
performed.Inspections and mainte
nance must be per-
formed to prevent accidents and malfunc- tions.NOTE
It is not possible to re
set the “------” indica-
tion (B) with the electric motor switch in the “ON” position. When a certain distance has been driven and a certain period has elapsed after appearance of the “------” indicati
on (B), the indication
is automatically re
set and the number of
months until the next
periodic inspection is
shown. If you accidentally reset
the display, consult

ss, depending on the
brightness outsi
de the vehicle.
Bright Dim
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

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the following: Before starting the ve
hicle, make certain
that you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and therear hatch are locked.
To install the floor mat
NOTE
The shape of the mat and the number of retaining clips may
vary depending on the
vehicle model.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distances resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the reta
ining clip on the
driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second
mat over or under
an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle even if it is aMitsubishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean- ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein- stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with theelectric motor unit off, check that thefloor mat is not interfering with the ped- als by depressing the pedals fully.

Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still
keeping good visibil-
ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accele
rator, and controls.
Check the instrument panel indicators forany possible problem. Move the front passe
nger seat as far back
as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecti
ng the defroster mode,
and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-9.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns.
Look for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires for proper pressures. Replace your tires beforethey are heavily worn out.
As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, th
erefore, be performed
only by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and
high-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for wa
ter, oil, or other
leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are cor- rect.
N00629200124
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that youcan avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:
Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
Always obey applicable
laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.
N00629400416
Check the 12V starter battery, including terminals and cables. During extremely cold weather, the 12V starter battery willnot be as strong and
its power level may
drop. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe headlights are as bright as normal. Charge or replace the 12V starter battery if necessary. During extreme coldweather, it is possibl
e that a very low 12V
starter battery could freeze.
