Safety

    Reasons to rest assured.

    Like all of our vehicles, the Mitsubishi i is equipped with some of the world's most advanced safety features.

    • The Mitsubishi i is engineered to meet all of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
    • Our innovative RISE body design helps to protect both driver and passengers.
    • The advanced six-airbag3 system includes two advanced dual-stage supplemental front airbags, side-impact airbags (front), and roof-mounted curtain airbags (front and rear).
    • The Approaching Vehicle Alerting System 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 a wide variety of 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.
    • The battery is mounted directly to the unibody, helping to keep you safe in a collision.

    This is only the beginning. For a complete list of safety features, check out the Features & Specs page.

    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.
    In the event that a site survey is not conducted, you may be asked to sign a waiver confirming your understanding of your responsibilities prior to vehicle purchase and subsequent charging.
