For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the electricmotor unit running, plac
e the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle sta-tionary with the service brake.
N00584200025
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unat- tended, always switch
off the electric motor
unit and carry the key.
N00571900028
While driving at low speeds, such as in park-ing lots, the acoustic vehicle alerting system(AVAS) alerts people who may not hear your vehicle approaching. The system sounds when the vehicle speed isapproximately 22 mph
(35 km/h) or less.
The acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) will operate under th
e following conditions:
 When the vehicle sp
eed is approximately
2 mph (3 km/h) or less and the brake pedal is not depressed.
WA R N I N G While driving on a slippery road, do not use the “B” position.
Abruptly releasing
the accelerator pedal can apply strongregenerative braking
causing the vehicle
to skid which could result in an accident.NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly
full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temp
erature is too high or
too low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced and stronger effort may berequired to operate the brakes.
Operation of the transmission
CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the electric
motor unit running and the vehicle station- ary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the transmission is engage
d, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to driveaway. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
 Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficien
cy and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
Waiting
CAUTION Never hold the vehicle
stationary on a hill
with the accelerator. Always apply the park- ing brake and/or service brake.
Parking
CAUTION
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

Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, put the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric motor unit. Restart the electric motor unit and check tosee whether the light goes out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.However, if the warning light does not disap- pear, or if it comes on
again when the vehicle
is driven, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked. The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle unstable.Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec- ommend you to have th
e vehicle checked.
N00568400058
The power steering system operates while the electric motor unit is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in ca
se the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at a certified i-MiEV dealer.
If the warning light illuminates while driving If only the ABS warning light illu- minate If the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminate at the same time
NOTE
 The warning light may
be illuminated when
the electric motor unit is started while the12V starter battery voltage
is low, but this is
not an ABS malfunction. When the main drive lithium-ion battery is charged, the 12V starte
r battery is charged at
the same time, and the
warning light will go
out. If the warning light does
not go out or illumi-
nates from time to time even after the battery is charged, take your ve
hicle to a certified i-
MiEV dealer and have
the system checked as
soon as possible.  After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice whic
h may have been left
around the wheels. On ve
hicles that have an
anti-lock braking system, be careful not todamage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.Front

The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances:  A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is near the vehicle.  Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the wheels. The tire inflation pre
ssure sensors’ battery
is exhausted.  Wheels other than Mitsubishi Motors gen- uine wheels are being used.  Wheels that are not fitted with tire infla- tion pressure sensors are being used. Wheels whose ID codes are not memo- rized by the vehicle are used.  A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
N00532900182
If you use new wheels with new tire inflationpressure sensors, their ID codes must be pro- grammed into the tire pressure monitoring system. Have tire and
wheel replacement per-
formed by a certified i-MiEV dealer to avoid the risk of damaging the tire inflation pres- sure sensors.
N00533000207
Your tire pressure monitoring system oper- ates on a radio frequenc
y subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules(For vehicles sold in
U.S.A.) and Industry
Canada Rules (For vehicles sold in Canada). This device complies wi
th Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and RSS- Gen of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two con- ditions.  This device may not
cause harmful inter-
ference. This device must ac
cept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
 Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire. Such a spray could damage thetire inflation pressure sensors.  Using the tire repair kit may damage the tire inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle mustpromptly be inspected and repaired by a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer after using the tire repair kit.NOTE
NOTE
 Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected tolarge variations in ambient temperature, thetire inflation pressures may be under-inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. Ifthe warning light comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with new ones
CAUTION The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors, resulting air
leakage or damage of
the sensors.
