How to Read the Energy Level Gauge
Similar to a traditional gas powered vehicle's fuel gauge, the Energy Level
Gauge in your Mitsubishi i indicates the remaining power in the main drive
battery.
When the Energy Level Gauge shows two bars remaining, the warning
indicator (A) flashes telling you your remaining battery charge is low.
When the Energy Level Gauge shows one bar remaining, the warning indicator
(A) and the charging bars (B) flash alternately telling you your remaining
battery charge is low. Recharge the main drive battery as soon as possible.
The Power Down Warning (Turtle) Light (C) illuminates when there are no bars
remaining. Recharge the main battery as soon as possible.
