2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mitsubishi i-MiEV to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your i-MiEV has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine i-MiEV maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, and brake pad replacement. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your i-MiEV perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your i-MiEV. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your i-MiEV may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mitsubishi i-MiEV battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi i-MiEV won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi i-MiEV can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Mitsubishi i-MiEV suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mitsubishi i-MiEV's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi i-MiEV maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mitsubishi i-MiEV’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mitsubishi i-MiEV? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it.
