Battery
E08300100027
There
are two types of batteries installed in your ve-
hicle: a traction battery for operating the motor (elec-
tric motor unit) and air conditioning as well as an
auxiliary battery for starting the electric motor unit
and operating the lamps, wipers, etc. This chapter
explains charging of the traction battery.
NOTE
l The auxiliary battery is automatically charg-
ed while the ready indicator is illuminated or
during charge for the traction battery.
Refer to “Ready indicator” on page 4-09.
l If the auxiliary battery is flat, the electric mo-
tor unit cannot be started. Also, the charging
cannot be started.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 7-02. Basic knowledge for charging
E08300200031
There
are two types of charging: regular charging
and quick charging.
Regular charging is performed through the on-
board charger using rated AC 220-240 V outlet as
the power source.
The rated AC voltage may differ from country to
country.
Quick charging is performed with the quick charg-
er compatible with i-MiEV. WARNING
l To
reduce the risk of electric shock or
fire due to electric leak, always use an out-
let protected by a residual current detec-
tor, rated for amperage equal to or great-
er than the value specified by
MITSUBISHI MOTORS, and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri-
cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the breaker may
trip and the circuit may cause adverse in-
terference on MCB (Moulded Circuit
Board) and household electrical applian-
ces such as TVs and audio systems.
l It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:
• Never connect or disconnect thecharge connector with a wet hand to
prevent an electric shock.
• Never make the connection wet when charging.
Never charge in bad weather such as
heavy rain, strong wind and with the risk WARNING
of lightning. Also, do not keep opening
the
inner lid and the charging lid or do
not leave the EV charging cable in out-
door areas. Doing so could lead to water
entering the charge connector or the
charge port, resulting in fire or an elec-
tric shock.
l If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker
connected with the outlet first, then re-
move the snow and disconnect the charg-
ing plug. If your vehicle body has been
buried in snow while charging, remove
the snow and then disconnect the charge
connector. CAUTION
l
Do
not attempt to perform a jump start
on the auxiliary battery at the same time
that the traction battery is being charged.
Doing so may damage the vehicle or charg-
ing cable and could cause injury. Refer to
“Emergency starting” on page 7-02.
NOTE l Repeatedly

performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity. In usual
charge, regular charging is recommended.
l To maintain the capacity of the traction bat-
tery, the following is recommended:
• Fully charge the vehicle in regular charg-ing every two weeks. Charging

WARNING
l Make sure that the plug is inserted all the
way into the outlet before use.
l To reduce the risk of electric shock or
fire due to electric leak, always use an out-
let protected by a residual current detec-
tor, rated for amperage equal to or great-
er than the value specified by
MITSUBISHI MOTORS, and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri-
cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the breaker may
trip and the circuit may cause adverse in-
terference on MCB (Moulded Circuit
Board) and household electrical applian-
ces such as TVs and audio systems.
l To reduce the risk of electric shock, con-
nect only to a properly earthed and water-
proofed outlet.

Keys
E00300102399
Two keys are provided. The key fits all locks.
Keep one in a safe place as a spare key. WARNING
l When taking a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.
NOTE l The

key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost. l
The
key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent malfunction-
ing. • Do not leave the key anywhere where ex-posed to direct sunlight, for example on
the dashboard.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub- ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal computers, TVs, and other equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high frequen-
cy equipment (including medical devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex- posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The electric motor unit is designed so that it
will not start if the ID code registered in the
immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code
do not match. Refer to the “Electronic immo-
bilizer” section for details and key usage. Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
theft starting system) E00300201928
The
electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi-
cantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The
purpose of the system is to immobilize the vehicle
if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt
can only be achieved by using a key “registered” to
the immobilizer system.
NOTE
l In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the registered key and the electric mo-
tor unit may not start.

Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system E00405700166
The
driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each
have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.
Pretensioner system E00405801164
The pretensioner system will retract its respective
seat

belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat
belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact se-
vere enough to injure the driver and/or front passen-
ger and the electric motor switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position. WARNING
l To
obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad-
justed your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly. CAUTION
l
Installation
of audio equipment or re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems. CAUTION
l
If
you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. It is important to do
so because unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause inju-
ries.
NOTE l The

pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp E00405900315
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and

the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warn-
ing lamp” on page 3-29.
Force limiter system E00406000209
In the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem

will effectively absorb the load applied to the
seat belt to minimize the impact to the passenger. Child restraint
E00406401747
When

transporting children in your vehicle, some
type of child restraint system should always be
used according to the size of the child. This is re-
quired by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with children in
the front seat may differ from country to country.
You are advised to comply with the relevant regula-
tions. WARNING
l When
possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil-
dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rath-
er than in the front seat.
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se-
vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child. Seat and seat belts
