The power consumption of the electric motor, the air conditioning, and power generation by the regenerative brake are indicated. When the ready indicator comes on, the redneedle will move to th
e neutral point (A) and
then move to the right or left according to the amount of power consumption or power gen-eration. [When the red needle moves to the right of the neutral point] This indicates that the electric motor unitand/or the air conditioning are consuming electric energy from the main drive lithium- ion battery.The more the needle moves to the right, the more electrical energy
is being consumed.
[When the red needle moves to the left of the neutral point]This indicates that electric energy is being generated by the regenerative brake and charged to the main dr
ive lithium-ion battery.
The more the needle moves to the left, the more electric energy is being generated.

 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 th
e 12V starter battery
if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possible that a very low 12V starter battery
could freeze.
 Check the antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak, add high-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. Use Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life CoolantPremium or an equivalent. The recom- mended blend is about 50 % water and 50 % anti-freeze. Use a higher concentration(not over 60 %) when the outside temper- ature is -31 °F (-35 °C) or lower. When the electric motor unit is working very hard (for example,
during mountain driv-
ing and/or when the outside temperatureis high), use a 50 % concentration. This blend will provide adequate protection from corrosion and boiling.
N00629501531
All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by a certi- fied i-MiEV dealer at regular intervalsaccording to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such
conditions, pay close
attention to preceding and following vehicles and to the condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedaland check how effective the brakes are. Put the selector lever to “B” (REGENERA- TIVE BRAKE MODE) or “ECO” (ECO MODE) position according to the grade of the slope and vehicle sp
eed. This will allow
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N GThe 12V starter batter
y gives off explosive
hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame cancause the 12V starter battery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working wi
th your 12V starter
battery, or let a skil
led mechanic do it.
WA R N I N GNever open the coolan
t reservoir cap while
it is hot. You could be seriously burned.

effective use of the re
generative brake and
prevent the service brake from overheating.If the brake pedal is continuously or fre- quently depressed on downhill roads, the ser- vice brake could overheat and the brakeperformance will be reduced.
N00629600317
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.If necessary, apply
chocks to wheels.
Never leave the electric motor unit running while you take a short sleep/rest.
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when traveling up or down steep slopes where your bumper can scrape theroad. Always remove the key from the electric motor switch and lock all doors and the lift- gate when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea. More effort could be required to turn the steering wheel. Refer to “Electric power steering system(EPS)” on page 5-27.
NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly full, or the main drivelithium-ion battery temperature is too high or too low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced. Refer to “Regenerative braking”on page 3-3.  If the red needle in the energy usage indica- tor does not move to the left of the neutral point (A) while the accelerator pedal is released, the regenera
tive brake will not
work. Refer to “Ener
gy usage indicator” on
page 5-35. In the such case, before approach- ing a long downhill road, reduce speed toprevent the service brake from overheating.
Parking Parking on a hill
NOTE
 On a slope, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking br
ake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the
selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring a
pplication of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK) position.
