 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.

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.

If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another st
rong station, both sta-
tions might be received simultaneously.
Stereo reception requires a high quality broadcast signal. This means that types of disturbances mentioned previously becomemore marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished during stereo recep- tion. FM reception is affected by the electrical sys- tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especially those without an electr
onic noise suppression
device. The disturbance is even greater if thestation is weak or poorly tuned. FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbances as AM. AM
reception is sensi-
tive to electrical dist
urbances such as power
lines, lightning and ot
her types of similar
electrical phenomena.

 After parking on snowy or icy road, it may be difficult to move your vehicle dueto freeze-up of the brake. Depress the accelerator pedal little by little to move the vehicle after confirming safety of thevehicle.  Drive as slow as possible when driving on bumpy or rutted roads or over potholes etc.CAUTION Do not depress the acce
lerator pedal rapidly.
The vehicle could start moving when itbreaks free from the ic
e, possibly resulting in
an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot- holes can damage the tires and wheels. Wheels with low-profiles tires or under-inflated tires are especi
ally at risk for dam-
age. The vehicle’s body, bumper, muffler and other parts may be dama
ged if the vehicle is:
• driven over a step (for example, at the entrance or exit of a parking lot);
• parked too closely against a curb or parkingblock, or by the side of a road with curb-stones;• driven on a steep slope.CAUTION

The 12V starter battery is weaker in cold tem- peratures. This has to do with its chemicaland physical propertie
s and is why a very
cold 12V starter battery, especially one with a
low charge, will have a hard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your 12V starter battery and charging system checked by a certified i-MiEV dealer before the startof cold weather. If necessary, have it charged. This will guarantee more reliable starting, and longer 12V starter battery life.
N00901701114
To disconnect the 12V starter battery cable,stop the electric motor.
Disconnect the nega-
tive (-) terminal first, then the positive (+) ter- minal. To reconnect th
e 12V starter battery,
first connect the positi
ve (+) terminal and
then the negative (-) terminal, before starting the vehicle.
 After checking the 12V starter battery electrolyte level, make sure the caps arefitted securely. If any of the caps cannot be re-secured to the 12V starter battery, replace the 12Vstarter battery. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis- color them. And if gets on your skin or inyour eyes, it can cause burns or blindness. Please observe the following handling instructions:• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wi
pe it off with a soft
cloth or chamois soak
ed in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme- diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediat
ely and get immedi-
ate medical attention.

Disconnection and connection
WA R N I N G Never disconnect the
12V starter battery
while the electric motor unit is running, or you could damage the
vehicle’s electrical
parts.  Never short-circuit
the 12V starter bat-
tery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged.  Keep sparks, cigarette
s, and flames away
from the 12V starter battery because the 12V starter battery could explode.
 When installing the
12V starter battery,
start connection with the positive (+) ter-minal. If connection is started from thenegative (-) terminal,
sparks will occur if
the positive (+) termin
al touches any other
parts, and this may cause the 12V starterbattery to explode.NOTE
 Remove the 12V starte
r battery upper cover
before disconnecting the terminal of 12V starter battery. Refer to “Removing and installing the 12V st
arter battery upper
cover” on page 9-8.  Open the terminal cover (A) before discon- necting or connecting the positive (+) termi- nal of the 12V
starter battery.
 Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the 12V starter batt
ery cable from the positive

Tires 9-14 Vehicle care and maintenance

Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then cause tire damage thatmay result in tire failure.  Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more power.  Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding
experience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too mu
ch pressure gives an
uncomfortable and ja
rring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond.Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The correct tire pressure for your vehicle is listed on the placard attached to the sill of thedriver’s door. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.)The recommended inflation pressures should be used for the tires listed below.
Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month.Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures change severely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed on the placard are always
“cold inflation pres-
sure”.Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving se
veral miles, your tire
inflation pressure may increase 14 to 41 KPA, 2 to 6 PSI from the cold inflation pressure.Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the specified cold pressure, or your tire pressure will be too low.You should also take the following safety pre- cautions:
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the sill of the driver’s door.)  Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed.  Drive at safe speeds.  After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on the valve stems.

Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION Avoid using different size tires and wheels from the ones listed, and avoid the combined use of different types
of tires and wheels.
Using different size or
type tires and wheels
may affect driving safety. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-6. Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as the specifie
d type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it
from being fitted cor-
rectly. Consult a certified i-MiEV dealer before
using wheels that you
have.
