Charging troubleshooting guide
E08301500031Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Charging cannot be star-
ted. The electric motor switch is in the ON
position. Before charging, place the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position.
The traction battery is already fully
charged. Charging cannot be performed if the traction battery is already fully charged. Charging auto-
matically turns off if the traction battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the traction battery
is too high or too low to charge. Confirm the traction battery temperature.
Refer to “Cautions and actions to deal with intense heat” on page
06 and “Cautions and ac-
tions to deal with intense cold” on page 08.
The auxiliary battery is discharged. The traction battery can be charged if the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on. If the battery is discharged, charge or Emergency start the auxiliary battery. Refer to
“Emergen-
cy starting” on page 7-02.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle or charger may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning lamp on the meter is illuminated. Confirm if the indicator on the charger is indicating a malfunction. If a warning
is displayed, stop charging and contact a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Regular charging cannot
be started. There is no electrical power coming
from the outlet. Confirm that there has not been a power failure. Make sure the breaker is on. If an outlet with
a timer device installed is used, power will only be available at the time set by the timer.
Confirm if the Ready (green) indicator on the control box is illuminated.
The charge connector is not connected
correctly. Confirm the charge connector is connected correctly.
Charging Timer by
MiEV remote cannot be
started. Refer to “Actions to be taken when the MiEV Remote system does not operate correctly” on page

MiEV Remote System*
E08301800034
The
MiEV Remote System has the following three
functions.
l Timer Charging
When the EV charging cable (regular
charger) is connected, the batteries will
only charge during the pre-set time peri-
od selected using the MiEV Remote.
l Remote Climate Control
When the EV charging cable (regular
charger) is connected, the air-conditioner
can be activated for up to 30 minutes pri-
or to using the vehicle. This feature can
be used to cool or heat the car and to acti-
vate the front and rear window defroster.
l Traction Battery Level Indicator
The charge remaining in the traction bat-
tery can be confirmed through the MiEV
Remote.

Remote WARNING
l Individuals
who use implantable pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de-
fibrillators should keep away from the ex-
ternal and internal transmitters. The elec-
tromagnetic waves used in the MiEV Re-
mote System may affect the operation of
implantable pacemakers and implantable
cardiovascular defibrillators.
l Individuals using other electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak-
ers and implantable cardiovascular defib-
rillators should check with the manufac-
turer of the apparatus to confirm the ef-
fect of the electromagnetic waves used by
the MiEV Remote System. The electro-
magnetic waves may affect the operations
of the electro-medical apparatus.
l Never use the MiEV Remote near medi-
cal equipment. Electromagnetic waves
could adversely affect the medical equip-
ment.
l Keep the MiEV Remote in the place
where children will not touch or play
with the remote.
l When bringing the MiEV Remote on
flights, do not press any switches on the
MiEV Remote while on the plane. If a
switch is pressed on the plane, the MiEV
Remote emits electromagnetic waves
which like cell phones and other wireless
devices, could interfere with systems on
the airplane.
When carrying the MiEV Remote in a
bag, be careful that no switches on the
MiEV Remote can be pressed by mistake. CAUTION
l
Never disassemble or modify the MiEV
Remote. No user serviceable parts are in-
side except batteries.
l Disassembling or modifying the MiEV Re-
mote or removing a label from the MiEV
Remote may violate regulations.
NOTE l The

MiEV Remote system uses radio waves.
The MiEV Remote can operate within approx-
imately 100 m from the vehicle.
In the following environments or situations,
the MiEV Remote may not transmit and re-
ceive radio waves correctly. As a result, the
remote may not operate properly. • When the vehicle and the MiEV Remoteare separated by a concrete wall.
• When there is a metal wall between the vehicle and the MiEV Remote.
• When the vehicle is surrounded by other tall vehicles.
• When the vehicle and/or the MiEV Re- mote is near a facility emitting strong ra-
dio waves, such as a television tower, a
transformer substation, a broadcasting sta-
tion or an airport.
• When other electrical equipment such as computers or cell-phones are placed near
the MiEV Remote.
• When the MiEV Remote touches some- thing metallic, or is covered by a metal ob-
ject.
• When batteries for the MiEV Remote are weak. Charging

l
Melody and buzzer from the MiEV Remote
can be turned on or off.
Refer to “To turn on/off melody and buzzer”
on page 1-30.
l The transmitter signal will reach further
when the antenna of the MiEV Remote is
fully extended and held upright.
l The onboard antenna is printed on the right
side delta glass of the vehicle.
l When the MiEV Remote is not used for
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.
l When you need additional MiEV Remotes,
please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. Up to four MiEV
Remotes can be used per vehicle. MiEV Remote

E08302800015 WARNING
l The
Remote Climate Control, even when
set, cannot be relied upon to maintain
safe vehicle cabin temperatures while the
vehicle is stopped or parked. Never leave
children or persons requiring supervision/
nursing unattended inside the vehicle.
The temperature inside the vehicle could
become extremely high or low resulting
in a risk of heat stroke or hyperthermia
that could result in death.
In addition, children can activate
switches and controls, resulting in injury
or a fatal accident.
l While the Remote Climate Control is acti-
vated, keep away from the cooling fan un-
der the bonnet, since the cooling fan may
automatically operate even if the electric
motor switch is in the “LOCK” position.
NOTE l The

Remote Climate Control works regard-
less of the position of the air conditioning
switch or dial on the vehicle. While the Re-
mote Climate Control is activated, the air con-
ditioning switch or dial on the vehicle will
not affect operation of the cooler, heater or
defroster.
l The Remote Climate Control will automati-
cally stop 30 minutes after the Remote Cli-
mate Control has been set. l
The
Remote Climate Control is operated by
electric power supplied through the EV charg-
ing cable (regular charger).
l Under the following conditions, the effect of
the Remote Climate Control can be decreased.
• When the outside temperature is very high.
• When the sunlight is strong.
• When the outside temperature is very low.
l When the Remote Climate Control is activa-
ted while charging the traction battery, the
time required to fully charge the traction bat-
tery will become longer or the amount of
charge may decrease if the OFF timer has
been set.
l While the Remote Climate Control is activa-
ted, if a heated seat switch is ON, the heated
seat will operate.
To operate the Remote Climate Control E08302900016
The following conditions must be met to operate
the Remote Climate Control.
l Selector lever: P (PARK) position.
