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

 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still
keeping good visibil-
ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accele
rator, and controls.
Check the instrument panel indicators forany possible problem.  Move the front passe
nger seat as far back
as possible.  Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecti
ng the defroster mode,
and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-9.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns.
Look for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires for proper pressures. Replace your tires beforethey are heavily worn out.
As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, th
erefore, be performed
only by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and
high-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for wa
ter, oil, or other
leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are cor- rect.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that youcan avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:
 Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
 Always obey applicable
laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.
N00629400416
 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 the 12V starter battery if necessary. During extreme coldweather, it is possibl
e that a very low 12V
starter battery could freeze.

Tread wear indicators are built into the origi-nal equipment tires on your vehicle to helpyou know when your tires should be replaced. Many states have la
ws requiring that you
replace your tires at this point.These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch(1.6 mm). When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places,
replace your tires.

Because the front and
rear tires and wheels
are not the same size, do not rotate the front and rear tires.

In some areas of the country, snow tires arerequired for winter driving. If snow tires arerequired in your area, you must choose snow tires of the same size
and type as the original
tires provided with your
vehicle. Snow tires
should also be
installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety
and vehicle handling
can be reduced.Even where laws may permit it, snow tires should not be operated
at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).
 Only Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels should be used, beca
use your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it
will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.

WA R N I N G Rotating tires would compromise the sta- bility and drivabilit
y of the vehicle and
could lead to a
serious accident.

CAUTIONIf flange nuts are used on your vehicle, change to tapered nuts
when using snow tires
with steel wheels.
