PROTECTING MORE THAN THE ENVIRONMENT

Like all Mitsubishi vehicles, this EV is equipped with some of the world's most advanced safety features. With force-absorbing crumple zones, Mitsubishi's RISE technology and other advances, the i-MiEV is engineered to meet all of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

KEY SAFETY FEATURES

• The six airbag* system includes two dual-stage supplemental advanced front airbags, side-impact airbags (front), and roof-mounted curtain airbags (front and rear).
• The Approaching Vehicle Audio System (AVAS) creates a pleasant, perceptible sound (from the outside) during low-speed operation that alerts pedestrians to your presence.
• Active Stability Control (ASC) employs a series of sensors to constantly monitor the grip of the tires on the road. Should the wheels begin to slip, the ASC system works in concert with the anti-lock brake system to apply the brakes intelligently as needed to each wheel, for the ultimate sense of control.
• Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) dramatically reduce the chance of skid on any terrain, while a Brake Override System gives preference to the brakes over the accelerator if the driver accidentally steps on both pedals at the same time.
• A waterproof, stainless steel battery case offers protection from the elements and placement of the battery case just beneath the floorboards ensures easy access in emergencies.
• The battery is mounted directly to the unibody, helping to keep drivers safe in a collision.
• Mitsubishi's Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body helps to protect the driver and passengers.
• The mid-motor, rear-wheel drive (MR) configuration permits ample space in the interior, while simultaneously creating large "crumple zones" that absorb force in certain types of collisions.

The i-MiEV's motor is located ahead of the rear axle, a configuration that created two distinct advantages. Excellent stability on a long wheel base is one. The other is ample leg room. The i-MiEV may be compact from the wind's perspective, but it's surprisingly spacious on the inside.

* Airbags are part of a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, always wear your seatbelt, sit upright in the middle of the seat and do not lean against the door. Always place children 12 years old and under in the rear seat and use appropriate child restraints. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat. See your owner's manual and instructions provided with your child restraint for additional information.
