    can you tell me what the problem may be?

    Our 2014 IMiev has worked really well, but now we have a problem. The car is going in to Halifax Mitsubishi next week, but I am curious about what the issue might be. -- it appears that it wouldn't take a charge at all -- but then the charger worked and topped up the car to 118 kms which is...

    12v Battery - All You Ever Wanted To Know

    I have a question about the 12v plug in accessory outlet on my iMiev. Does it run off the little battery only, or does it draw power from the main battery? I have a backup battery --ecoflow -- for when the power goes off in the house, and I am wondering if I could use the car to top up that...

    can a different tire size work ok?

    The Mitsu dealer here in Halifax NS sold me 185/55R 15 instead of the specified 175/60R/ 15. Is this acceptable? Will it make a difference in the handling or behaviour of the car? Thanks for any info on this! Roger

    rarely the car doesn't go to READY mode -- what's up?

    Hi, Just a few times when I turn the key nothing happens. The battery red image is illuminated. Then, after a few tries it does go to READY mode. Is there advice as to what is causing this? Other than that, our 2014 iMiev has been terrific! Perfect as a city car, even in Nova Scotia...

    one month winter iMiev non-use in Canada - what to do?

    Hello, My apologies if this question has been addressed -- I wasn't able to find a responses, so -- My iMiev will not be used in Nova Scotia while we are away for a month. It is outside. How much charge should it have? Other precautions? MUST it be driven by a neighbour to prevent trouble...

    iMiev wiper blades size

    I've put on two 24" Bosch blades on both arms, and they seem to work just fine, no overlap problem. It seems that it is recommended to have one blade 20" but I see no reason to do that -- 24's on both arms seems to be fine. Has anyone done this? Roger Halifax NS Canada

    turning off the horn beep at locking

    Hello, For some reason the answer back beep is now activated, and we want to turn it off. But the weird instructions for doing so (at 5 - 6 in the user manual) make no sense to us, and our attempts produced nothing. Can anyone tell us using plain English how to do this? Thanks, Roger and...

    iMiev window visors

    I saw an iMiev at our dealer with the tinted window visor-vents. Does anyone have experience with these? Do they actually help with ventilation? Do the reduce visibility? Noise or drag? So, are they worth getting? thanks, Roger

    sound of warming fan for battery?

    Thanks for the link. It does sound much like the circulation pump -- strange thing is, I had never heard it before, and it seems to be running all the time.

    sound of warming fan for battery?

    No sound when the key is out -- hear it when the car is in READY mode, driving or not.

    sound of warming fan for battery?

    It makes the sound all the time, even on Ready. It is new today, hadn't heard it before.

    sound of warming fan for battery?

    I'm hearing a somewhat annoying (I'm used to the quiet!) rather high sounding hum from the rear of the car this morning. The temp. here in Halifax was around 0C last night. Is this the sound of the battery warming fan, or do I need to take it in to the dealer to have it checked out? Thanks...

    How much should the battery be depleted before charging ?

    Thanks for your advice! Interesting that the manual doesn't seem to say anything about not fully topping up the battery, in order to extend the batteries' life. Roger

    How much should the battery be depleted before charging ?

    We've a purchased a 2014 iMiev here in Halifax, NS. I have a question about charging: The manual says it is not good to top up the battery when it is near full charge. How high can the remaining charge be before charging up? Half full or ??? Thanks! Roger

    Availability of a new battery in say six years ??

    Again, thanks for your help in helping me make up my mind about an iMiev purchase. As I understand it, the iMiev is discontinued and I presume battery manufacture. If I needed a new battery in six or eight years, would one be available, and if they were manufactured now, sitting around for six...

    Can the charging station be outside?

    Hello, I am considering buying an iMiev in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We keep our cars outside, next to a workshop that has its own power. Is it possible to place the Level 2 charging station on an outside wall ( we are talking Canadian winter!) or must it be inside? If the car must be charged in...

    Will Mitsubishi continue to sell in North America?

    Thanks for your replies. How does that work -- if Mitsubishi leaves Halifax, or Canada altogether, how is service and parts looked after?

    Will Mitsubishi continue to sell in North America?

    Hello, I am considering buying an iMiev in Nova Scotia, but I have a concern that Mitsubishi may withdraw from North America. If they go, what will happen to parts availability and service? I'm interesting in hearing opinions about whether they will continue to sell cars in Canada and the US...
