from moving forward
and possibly interfering
with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishigenuine floor mats are recommended.
N00628700063
1. Place the floor mat to fit the shape of thefloorboard. 2. Align the floor mat with the installation holes over the retaining clips. 3. Secure the floor mat with retaining clips.
N00629000698
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the following:  Before starting the ve
hicle, make certain
that you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and therear hatch are locked.
To install the floor mat
NOTE
 The shape of the mat and the number of retaining clips may
vary depending on the
vehicle model.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distances resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the reta
ining clip on the
driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second
mat over or under
an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle even if it is aMitsubishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean- ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein- stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with theelectric motor unit off, check that thefloor mat is not interfering with the ped- als by depressing the pedals fully.

 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.

Normally, use the outside
air position to keep
the windshield and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- shield. To change the air selection, simply press the air selection switch.  Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF} Outside air is introduced into the passen- ger compartment. Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON} Air is recirculated
inside the passenger
compartment.
If high cooling performance is desired, or, if the outside air is dusty
or contaminated in
some way, use the
recirculat
ion position.
Switch to the outside
air position every now

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. Have the system inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
 When the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position, the air conditioning com- pressor runs automatically. Outside air intro-duction will also be se
lected automatically.
 When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to the
maximum cool position.
This would blow c
ool air on the window
glass and fog it up.  Since defogging or defrosting with the MAX switch consumes a la
rge amount of power,
stop the switch after
defogging or defrosting.
Use the MAX setting for a long time decreases the cruising range.

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.

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”.

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.
During a long period of disuse
Air purifier
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.
