DRIVING YOUR MITSUBISHI i
Driving Range
The distance you can drive varies considerably depending on a variety of factors:
The Mitsubishi i has a tested EPA combined range of 62 miles.
What is Regenerative Braking?
When you take your foot off the accelerator while
driving, motion energy is converted into electric
energy using the motor as a power generator. During
this conversion, braking force is generated and
converted electric energy is used to charge the main
drive 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 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.
