 When the vehicle is driven in a high ambient temperature, it
s air-conditioner performance can be
insufficient. Also, using the
air conditioner
will reduce the vehicle’s cruising range.  When the ambient temperature is approximately 104 °F (40 °C) or
higher, the phenomena described be
low may occur. Please take th
e
described actions.  Even if the ambient temperature is approxima
tely 104 °F (40 °C) or lower, when perfo
rming quick charging,
driving at high-speed
and uphill
repeatedly, the phenomena described below may
occur. Please take
the described actions.
Modification/alterations to the electrical systems
CAUTION Please consult a certified i-MiEV dealer con- cerning any such accessory fitment or modi-fication. If the wires interfere with the vehicle body or improper installation me
thods are used (pro-
tective fuses not included, etc.), electronic devices may be advers
ely affected, resulting
in a fire, vehicle dama
ge, or other accident.

You cannot charge the main drive lithium-ionbattery when the main drive lithium-ion bat-tery temperature is -13 °F (-25 °C) or lower. The air conditioning will automatically oper- ate and the main drive lithium-ion batterywill be heated when all the following condi- tions are met.
The energy level gauge (A) in the instrument cluster and charging i
ndicator (B) illuminate
while the main drive lithium-ion battery warming system is operating. The main drive lithium-ion battery warmingsystem will automatically stop when the main drive lithium-ion batter
y temperature is -4°F
(-20°C) or higher.
WA R N I N G After charging, be sure to close the inner lid and the regular charging lid com- pletely.Be careful that water or dust does not enter in the regular charge port inner lid and regular charge connector.Entry of water or dust could cause electric leakage, resulting in
a fire or electric
shock. After charging, be sure
to disconnect the
plug from the outlet.If the plug is left connected to the outlet, immersion in water or tampering may cause leakage or an
electric shock.
Main drive lithium-ion battery warming system
• The main drive lithium-ion battery tem- perature is between -22 °F (-30 °C) and -13 °F (-25 °C).• The energy level gauge shows 4 bars or more of full charge. • The electric motor switch is in the“LOCK” position. • The regular charge connector is con- nected to the regular charge port.

Carefully read instru
ctions on “Precautions
during charging the main drive lithium-ionbattery” on page 3-14,
described in this sec-
tion and also instructions for a quick charger you uses, and follow them.
1. Fully apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-tion. 2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps, air conditioning, etc.
and turn the electric
motor switch to the “LOCK” position.
3. Pull the quick charging lid opener (A) at the bottom left of the driver’s seat to openthe quick charging lid (B) at the left rear side of the vehicle. 4. Remove key and lock the vehicle. 5. Press the tab (C) to open the inner lid (D).
WA R N I N G Be sure to use a qu
ick charger compatible
with i-MiEV. Use of a non-compatible quick charger may cause a fire or mal- function.For the quick charger compatible with i- MiEV, consult an certified i-MiEV dealer. For operation of a quick charger, follow instructions for each quick charger. Never connect or disc
onnect the charger
with a wet hand. Never pull the cable to disconnect the charger. During charging, the
cooling fans under
the hood may automa
tically be operated
even if the electric motor switch is in the“LOCK” position. Ke
ep your hands away
from the cooling fan during charging. As the quick charge connector is heavier in comparison to th
e regular charge con-
nector, allowing it to drop could causedamage to the vehicl
e or charge connector
or personal injury.
CAUTION If the charge connector cannot easily be con- nected to the charge port, do not force theconnection. Foreign mate
rial may be in the
charge connector or charge port, or the charging device may not
be compatible with
your vehicle. Contact a certified i-MiEVdealer.NOTE
 Repeatedly performi
ng only quick charging
can reduce the batter
y capacity. Regular
charging is recommended unless quickcharging is necessary.  Before using a publicly
available quick char-
ger, confirm that the charger is suitable for your vehicle.  Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during charging.

8. Charging is complete when the charging indicator turns off.Disconnect the quick charge connector according to the manual of the quick char- ger. 9. Close the inner lid and close the quick charging lid.
 The charge level for the main drive lithium- ion battery can be checked with the energylevel gauge (F) on the
instrument cluster.
Refer to “Energy leve
l gauge” on page 5-40.
 Operation noise may be heard from the vehi- cle body during quick charging.This noise comes from operation of the main drive lithium-ion batter
y cooling system, and
it is not a malfunction.  Since the main driv
e lithium-ion battery
cooling system uses cool air from the airconditioning system,
the air conditioning
will automatically be operated. After quick charging, you may find dehu-midified water from
the air conditioning sys-
tem under the vehicle. It is not a malfunction.NOTE

CAUTION Do not leave the quick charge connected to the quick charge port after charging. Someone might stumble on the charger orthe quick charge port might get damaged.WA R N I N G After charging, be sure to close the inner lid and the quick charging lid completely.Be careful that water or dust does not enter in the quick charge port, inner lid and quick charge connector.Entry of water or dust could cause a fire, electric shock or
short circuit.
NOTE
If the electric motor switch is turned to the “START” position with the quick charge connector connected to the quick chargeport, the electric motor unit cannot be started. Be sure to disconnect
the quick charge con-
nector before starting
the electric motor unit.
Charging may stop before full charge. This is a control for efficient charge and not a mal-function.To achieve full charge, repeat charging from Step 5 again.  Make sure that the inner lid is completely closed before closing the quick charging lid. If the quick charging li
d is forcibly closed
without first co
mpletely closing inner lid, the
hinge on the inner
lid may be broken.

A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response for conven- tional vehicles would
also require the same
response for electric vehicles. Also follow the instruct
ions described below
to avoid severe burns a
nd electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
High-Voltage components
WA R N I N G The EV (Electric Vehicle) system uses high voltage up to DC 330 volt. The system canbe hot during and after starting and when the vehicle is shut off. Be careful of both the high voltage and
the high temperature.
Follow the warning labels that are attached to the vehicle. Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace high-voltage parts, exposed elec- trical components, cables or connectors.Failure to follow this instruction can result in severe burns
or electric shock
causing serious injury
or death. High-volt-
age cables are colore
d orange. Th
e vehicle
high voltage system has no user service- able parts. Take your
vehicle to a Certified
i-MiEV dealer for an
y necessary mainte-
nance. Always assume the hi
gh voltage battery
and associated compon
ents are energized
and fully charged.

WA R N I N G If your vehicle is dr
ivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby locationand remain on the scene.Also, if possible, do
the follow
ing opera-
tions and stay out of the way of any oncoming traffic while awaiting thearrival of emergency responders.• Apply chocks to the wheels.• Move the selector
lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.• Apply the parking brake.• Open the windows,
doors and liftgate.
• Turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position.• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.• Move the key away fr
om the vehicle to
prevent unintended start-up of the sys-tem by inadvertent contact with a switch or impact from the crash.
 Never touch high-vol
tage wiring, connec-
tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-ion battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside
or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see “High- voltage components” on page 3-30. If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the floor.
