N00574400024
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on.Under normal conditions
, the warning light
comes on when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off afew seconds later.
N00559100163
The active stability c
ontrol (ASC) takes over-
all control of the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain the vehicle’s con- trol. Also refer to the following pages on the anti-lock braking system, traction controlfunction and skid control function. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
 P.5-25
Traction control function
 P.5-29
Skid control function

WA R N I N GDo not turn the key from the ON position while the vehicle is moving. Stopping theelectric motor unit would make the steer-ing wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTE
 During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you aremaneuvering the vehicle into a parking space), a protection
function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In this event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with
the headlights on, the
headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The headlights will return to their original brightne
ss after a short while.
Electric power steering system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light a
ppears while the elec-
tric motor unit is running, have the vehicle inspected at a certified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible. It may become harder toturn the steering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has li
mits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the tr
affic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the specified type and size of tire on all four wheels
. Otherwise, the ASC
may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on
your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.

CAUTION The rear-view camera uses a wide-angle lens. As a result, imag
es and distances shown
on the screen are not exact. Actual distance may be different from dis- tance indicated by the
lines on the screen,
depending on the loadi
ng condition of the
vehicle and road surface condition. The reference lines for
distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface. In the following cases, objects shown on the screen will appear to
be farther off than they
actually are.• When the rear of th
e vehicle is weighed
down with the weight of passengers and luggage in the vehicle. (Case 1)• When there is an upward slope at the back.(Case2)
Case 1 A: Actual objects B: Objects shown on the screen
CAUTION The reference lines for
distance and vehicle
width are intended to i
ndicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface. They may not indicate correct distance depending on the shape of an obstacle.For example, when there is an object behind the vehicle that has u
pper sections projecting
in the direction of the
vehicle, the reference
lines on the screen will indicate that point A is the farthest point a
nd point B is the closest
point to the vehicle. In
reality, point A and B
are actually the same distance from the vehi- cle, and point C is fa
rther off than point A
and B.Case 2 A: Actual objects B: Objects shown on the screen
NOTE
 Mirror image is displayed on the screen.  Monitor brightness is ad
justed automatically
by sensors.  It is possible to change the display language of the screen. For details, please refer to the separateowner’s manual for “Mitsubishi Multi-Com- munication System”.  Under certain circumst
ances, it may become
difficult to see an image on the screen, even when the system is functioning correctly. • In a dark area, such as at night. • When water drops or condensation are on the lens. • When sunlight or he
adlights shine directly
into the lens.

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 red needle will move to th
e neutral point (A) and
then move to the right or left according to theamount 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 unit and/or the air conditioning are consumingelectric energy from the main drive lithium- ion battery. The more the needle moves to the right, themore electrical energy
is being consumed.
[When the red needle moves to the left of the neutral point] This indicates that electric energy is beinggenerated by the regenerative brake and charged to the main dr
ive lithium-ion battery.
The more the needle moves to the left, themore electric energy
is being generated.

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.
