Characteristics
l The
capacity of the lithium-ion battery used
as traction battery on your i-MiEV, like other
commonly used lithium ion batteries, will de-
crease according to time and usage. This
type of decrease in battery capacity is nor-
mal, and is not indicative of any defect or fail-
ure in your traction battery. As the traction
battery capacity decreases, the initial cruis-
ing range of the vehicle will similarly de-
crease.
l MITSUBISHI MOTORS estimates that after
5 years, the capacity of the traction battery
provided with your vehicle will be approxi-
mately 80% of the original capacity. After 10
years, the capacity should be approximately
70% of the original capacity. These are only
estimates, and the actual capacity of your ve-
hicle battery over time will depend on a vari-
ety of factors including how your vehicle is
used, stored and charged. Factors that can ad-
versely affect battery capacity over time in-
clude frequent driving, using aggressive ac-
celeration/deceleration, repeated frequent use
of the quick charger, and operation/storage in
extreme hot temperature environments.
l The performance may be changed due to the
outside temperature. At low temperature, in
particular, the cruising range is short and the
charging time is long, compared to operation
at normal temperature.
l The battery discharges over time and the en-
ergy level slowly decreases even while not in
use.
l It is not necessary to consume the battery com-
pletely before charging. Precautions for operation
l Do
not store your vehicle with the energy lev-
el gauge showing 0 bars.
Doing so could damage the traction battery.
The battery may have to be replaced depend-
ing on the low capacity.
l If you do not use your vehicle for a long
time, please charge the traction battery to the
full every 3 months so that the energy level
gauge may not be 0 bars.
l MITSUBISHI MOTORS collects traction bat-
teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE l The progress of the battery capacity loss de-
pends on the vehicle usage and the environ-
ment.
We recommend to do regular charging from
2 bars or less to charge completely at least
once in 3 months.
The procedure lets the battery remaining indi-
cator adjusted automatically. High-Voltage components

Cruising range E00202900019
l Even
if the charge level is the same, the cruis-
ing range may vary depending on the driving
conditions. Since driving at high speed or
climbing on a hill requires higher consump-
tion of the traction battery than usual, the
cruising range is shortened. General information

Melody and buzzer from the MiEV Remote
can be turned on or off.
Refer to “To turn on/off melody and buzzer”

more than 30 seconds, the MiEV Remote
will automatically turn off.
l Some charge facilities have a timer function
which turns the power supply on and off au-
tomatically. When using a charge facility
with this timer function, please adjust the
charging time set by the MiEV Remote to be
consistent with the timer used by of the charg-
ing facility.
