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.

1. The display shows the driving distance or number of months remaining until thenext periodic inspection. 2. This informs you that a periodic inspec- tion is due. Contact a certified i-MiEVdealer to have the system checked. At this time, a spanner mark is shown for a few seconds whenever the electric motor switch is turned from the “LOCK”position or the “ACC” position to the “ON” position. 3. After your vehicle is
inspected at a certi-
fied i-MiEV dealer, it displays the time and miles (km) until
the next periodic
inspection.
With the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position or the “ACC” position, it is possible to reset the spanner mark (A) and “------” indication (B). When they have been
reset, the driving dis-
tance or number of m
onths remaining until
the next periodic inspection are shown and the spanner mark (A) is no longer shown every time the electric motor switch is turnedfrom the “LOCK” position or the “ACC” position to the “ON” position.
1. Push the reset button (D) to view the driv- ing distance or number of months remain-ing until the next periodic inspection. 2. Give the reset button (D) a long push (at least 2 seconds) to ma
ke the spanner mark
(A) start flashing. (If you do not touch the reset button for about
10 seconds while
the spanner mark is

 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 abou
t 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 veryhard (for example, during mountain driv- ing and/or when the outside temperature is high), use a 50 %
concentration. This
blend will provide
adequate protection
from corrosion and boiling.
N00629501531
All the parts of the brake system are criticalto 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 confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brak
es less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to preceding
and following vehicles
and to the condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly
depress the brake pedal
and 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 ofthe slope and vehicle sp
eed. This will allow
effective use of the regenerative 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 brake performance will be reduced.
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.
Braking When brakes are wet When driving in cold weather
When driving downhill
NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly full, or the main drivelithium-ion battery temp
erature 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 regenerative brake will notwork. Refer to “Ener
gy usage indicator” on
page 5-37. In the such
case, before approach-
ing a long downhill
road, reduce speed to
prevent the service brake from overheating.

The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrostingmode. Operating the
air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts and maintains the air condi-tioning in the best operating condition.
N00733800177
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to reduc
e pollen and dust entering
the cabin.The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dust will be reduced as
it becomes dirty, so
replace it periodically. For the maintenanceinterval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
N00766601026
You can run the air conditioning in advanceof using the vehicle. For details, refer to “Remote Climate Cont
rol” on page 3-36,

The audio system can only be used when theelectric motor switch is in the “ON” or“ACC” position.
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo- sphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. However, it may contribute slightly toglobal warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.

NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road or frequent use of the air conditioning can reduce
the service life of
the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows start to fog up easily, replace the airfilter. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assis- tance.
