Is it just me or do I also hear the fan while driving and stopped at a light? I could swear I heard the same sound as when I am charging. Does this always come on when driving or only when the battery reaches a certain temperature?

I'd like 2 as well, have you shipped any to a Miev owner in Hawaii?

Been using my air tabs on miev for about a year now, majority of my driving is on highway between 55-60mph, have no noticeable mileage gains but like you, I have noticed more stability at highway speeds. Can it be deduced that the more stable a car feels the more fuel efficient it is?

You can do this yourself, did it myself, look in the manual and will provide instructions on resetting this.

I picked up my vehicle in mid December 2011, which means it had to have been manufactured prior to December 2, 2011? Guess I'll just have to wait for any contact from Mitsubishi if indeed my miev is part of recall.

Also some basic instructions on how you went about with the install, much appreciated!

Was quoted $67 for the cabin air filter by dealer not including installation. Anywhere on the web I can purchase a cabin filter, anyone install one of these themselves?

Does this include U.S. or Canada versions, from what I've read so far online looks like Japan and European models are being recalled. Please post if you have been contacted from Mitsubishi regarding your North American version of Miev.

Now that you've had the car for a week on Oahu, any update on the charging situation? I primarily charge at home with my PV system and TOU rates but also find myself utilizing public charging quite a bit on Oahu due to our travelling distance to urban Honolulu. I'm sure you've researched the...

I've been plugging an air compressor in the 12v with no problem when I need to pump up the tires, haven't used the air compressor that came with the car yet. Glad to hear that you finally got your Miev on Oahu, maybe we'll run into each other at a charging station if you get lucky finding an...

I've had my Miev for just about a year now (took delivery on 12/14/11) and noticed the wrench on my odometer appears everytime when I turn the car on and then it dissapears a few seconds later. Has anyone scheduled their first year service with their dealership, what exactly will be done by...

Although the sound is a bit annoying at times, I think it is very useful as a safety issue. In parking lots, I'd much rather have a pedestrian hear me coming from behind rather than always having to beep my horn. Also, when reversing out of parking spots, helpful to let pedestrians know a car...

Wondering why they used an SE model, wouldn't a bare bones ES model been a better choice to destroy?

I'm the weekend Miev driver while my wife is the daily commuter, she had driven the car for a few months before putting the AirTabs on and she noticed a big difference in the handling, prior to the AirTabs she complained the Miev would be "nudged" during windy days at freeway speeds which would...

I was able to somehow decipher the instructions and get my Miev to beep once upon locking, I would however like to get rid of the 2 light flashes that occur when unlocking car, don't see any instructions for this in the manual but it does say the dealer could make this adjustment, anyone have...
