1-20 General information/Charging
1Regular charging (charging method with
rated AC 120 V outlet)
N01203100014
Carefully read instructions regarding “Precautions during
charging the main drive lithium-ion battery” on page 1-18 and
described in this section and also instructions on “EV charging
cable” on page 1-28 or instructions for a charging device you
use, and follow them.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an EV charging cable for
regular charging. Refer to “EV charging cable” on page 1-
28.

When connecting or disconnecting the regular charge con-
nector, insert/pull out the connector straight.
Also, do not incline or twist the connector.
Doing so could cause a bad connection or malfunction.

Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during
charging.
WA R N I N G
!
Improper charging can result in a fire, property
damage, and serious injury or death.
Always use an outlet protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter, rated AC 120V and for amper-
age equal to or greater than the value specified on
the charging device, and that is connected to a dedi-
cated branch circuit. If the circuit is shared, and
another electrical device is being used at the same
time the vehicle is charging, the breaker may trip,
the circuit may overheat resulting in a fire. The cir-
cuit may cause adverse interference on MCB (Moul-
ded Circuit Board) and to household electrical
appliances such as TVs and audio systems.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a
properly grounded and waterproofed outlet.
Never use an extension cable or conversion adapter.
Never force the connection if the charging cable or
plug shows damage or is not easily connected due to
foreign material entering the plug or the outlet.
Never use an outlet that is worn, damaged, or will
not hold the plug firmly.

Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into
the outlet before use.
While it is normal for the plug and charging cable to
become warm during charging, discontinue use
immediately if the plug or charging cable becomes
too hot to touch.
Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
Never connect or disconnect the plug with a wet
hand.

General information/Charging

1 Quick charging (charging method with
quick charger)
(if so equipped)
N01203300016
Your vehicle may be equipped with the quick charging port.
The quick charge port is compatible with most CHAdeMO*
(Japanese industry standard) connectors on charging stations.
*: Charging stations using this standard are UL certified and
safe to use in the US.
Improper charging can result in a fire, property damage, and
serious injury or death.
Carefully read instructions on “Precautions during charging the
main drive lithium-ion battery” on page 1-18, described in this
section and also instructions for a quick charger you uses, and
follow them.
NOTE
Repeatedly performing only quick charging (if so
equipped) can reduce the battery capacity. Regular charg-
ing is recommended unless quick charging is necessary.

Before using a publicly available quick charger, confirm
that the charger is suitable for your vehicle.

Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during
charging.
1. Fully apply the parking brake and move the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position.
2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps, air conditioning,
etc. and turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK”
position.
WA R N I N G
!
Be sure to use a quick charger compatible with i-
MiEV. Use of a non-compatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction.
For the quick charger compatible with i-MiEV, con-
sult an certified i-MiEV dealer.
For operation of a quick charger, follow instructions
for each quick charger.
Never connect or disconnect the charger with a wet
hand.
Never pull the cable to disconnect the charger.
During charging, the cooling fans under the hood
may automatically be operated even if the electric
motor switch is in the “LOCK” position. Keep your
hands away from the cooling fan during charging.

As the quick charge connector is heavier in compar-
ison to the regular charge connector, allowing it to
drop could cause damage to the vehicle or charge
connector or personal injury.
CAUTION
!
If the charge connector cannot easily be connected
to the charge port, do not force the connection. For-
eign material may be in the charge connector or
charge port, or the charging device may not be com-
patible with your vehicle. Contact a certified i-MiEV
dealer.

2 Seats and restraint systems
N00401600209
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks are also safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:

That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.

That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.

That all doors are fully closed and locked.

That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
Front seats
N00401800386
Position the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the ped-
als, easily control the steering wheel and safely operate the
vehicle.
