DRIVING YOUR MITSUBISHI i-MiEV
Driving Range
The distance you can drive varies considerably
depending on a variety of factors:
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV has a tested EPA
combined range of 62 miles.
What Happens in Extreme Heat and Cold Conditions:
When the vehicle is driven in a low or high ambient temperature, its heater or air-conditioning performance may be reduced. The
use of the heater or air-conditioner can reduce the vehicle's driving distance. Please refer to the General Information in the Owner's
Manual, regarding cautions and actions to deal with intense heat and cold.
What is Regenerative Braking?
Motion Energy is converted into electric energy using the
motor as a power generator. While decelerating, electric
energy will be created and used to charge the main drive
lithium-ion battery.
To maximize regenerative braking set the drive mode selector
lever to:
B (Regenerative Brake Mode) - for downhill driving and strong
regenerative braking
Eco - for economical or gentle downhill driving using moderate
regenerative braking.
What is the sound I'm hearing while my Mitsubishi i-MiEV is
moving at very slow speeds?
This is the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) which
sounds an audible warning from 0 to 22 miles per hour to alert
pedestrians of the approaching electric vehicle.
Seat Heater Switch
The heated seat can be operated when the
vehicle starter is in the ON position.
The indicator light will illuminate while the
heater is on.
