How To Start The Vehicle
Insert the key and press the brake pedal down.
Turn the key to the On position and make sure all warning lights are functioning properly.
Turn the key to the Start position for one or two seconds until you hear the startup bell and the READY indicator light comes on. The indicator light tells you the car is ready to be driven.
Drive Modes |
Combination Meter |
While pressing the brake pedal, you can select your drive mode.
D - use this position for normal driving
Eco - use this position to limit power consumption and maximize driving range
B - use this position when braking is required such as on a steep downhill
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 |
A |
|
battery. |
|
|
|
|
|
When the Energy Level Gauge shows two bars remaining, the warning |
|
|
indicator (A) flashes telling you your remaining battery charge is low. |
B |
|
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 |
C |
|
remaining. Recharge the main battery as soon as possible. |

Energy Use Indicator
As the needle moves to the right, the more electrical power is consumed.
Charge Zone - when the needle is in this area, more electric energy is charged back to your battery
Eco Zone - when the needle is in this area, you are maximizing your range
Power Zone - when the needle is in this area, you are using more power while reducing overall range

DRIVING YOUR MITSUBISHI i |
|
Driving Range
The distance you can drive varies considerably depending on a variety of factors:
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.
The Mitsubishi i has a tested EPA combined range of 62 miles.
