1. Gently wipe outside surface of the EV charging cable with ga
uze or a similar soft
cloth soaked with a mild soap and watersolution. 2. Wipe off all detergent with a soft cloth dipped in fresh water and thoroughlywrung out. 3. Wipe all moisture off and dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

You can charge your vehicle through the reg-ular charging port using 240V Electric Vehi-cle Supply Equipment (EVSE) compatible with i-MiEV. Carefully read instructions on “Precautionsduring charging the main drive lithium-ion battery” on page 3-14,
described in this sec-
tion.For connecting/disconne
cting the charging
connector to/from the vehicle, follow instruc-
tions for the regular charging (charging method with rated AC
120V outlet) on page
3-15. Also follow inst
ructions provided with
the 240V EVSE.

Your vehicle is equipped with the quickcharging port. The quick charge port is com- patible 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, prop- erty damage, and serious injury or death.
Cleaning the EV charging cable
WA R N I N G Before cleaning, be sure to remove the charging cable plug from the socket andthe regular charging plug from the vehi- cle. Do not connect or disconnect the plug with a wet hand. Doing so can cause anelectric shock.
Never expose the metal terminal of the regular charge connector or the chargingcable plug to water or neutral detergent.Water or detergent entering into the plugs can cause a fire or
an electric shock.
CAUTIONNever use benzine, petrol, organic solvents, acid, or alkaline solvents to clean the charg- ing cable. Doing so c
ould cause deformation,
discolour, or malfunction. Also, these sub- stances may be present
in various cleaners,
so check carefully before use.

WA R N I N G
CAUTION Be sure to use a 240V EVSE compatible with i-MiEV. Use of a non-compatible 240V EVSE may not charge the main drive lith-ium-ion battery correctly
or may damage the
main drive lithium-ion battery.NOTE
The 240V EVSE compatib
le with i-MiEV is
available separately. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.

NOTE
The MiEV Remote system uses radio waves. The MiEV Remote can operate withinapproximately 328 feet (100 m) from thevehicle. In the following environments or situations, the MiEV Remote may not transmit andreceive radio waves correctly. As a result, the remote may not
operate properly.
• When the vehicle a
nd the MiEV Remote
are separated by a
concrete wall.
• When there is a metal wall between the vehicle and the MiEV Remote. • When the vehicle is surrounded by other tall vehicles. • When the vehicle and/or the MiEV Remote is near a facility
emitting strong radio
waves, such as a television tower, a trans-former substation, a
broadcasting station or
an airport. • When other electrical equipment such as computers or cell-phones are placed near the MiEV Remote. • When the MiEV Remote touches some- thing metallic, or is
covered by a metal
object. • When batteries for the MiEV Remote are weak.
Melody and buzzer from the MiEV Remote can be turned on or off. Refer to “To turn on/
off melody and buzzer”
on page 3-45.
The transmitter signal will reach further when the antenna of the MiEV Remote isfully extended and held upright. The onboard antenna is printed on the right side delta glass
of the vehicle.
When the MiEV Remote is not used for more than 30 seconds, the MiEV Remote willautomatically turn off. Some charge facilities
have a timer function
which turns the power supply on and off automatically. When using a charge facility with this timer function, please adjust thecharging time set by the MiEV Remote to be consistent with the timer used by the charg- ing facility. When you need additional MiEV Remotes, please contact a certif
ied i-MiEV dealer. Up
to four MiEV Remotes
can be used per vehi-
cle.NOTE
MiEV Remote Switches 1- Power/communication switch - Press
and hold to turn remote on. Pressquickly to transmit command to vehi- cle.
2- MODE switch - The display of the
MiEV Remote is changed in order of “ON timer”, “OFF timer” and “Remote Climate Control” by pressing thisswitch.
3- Manual charge switch (this can also
cancel the timers and Remote Climate Control).

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, a
nd signal interference.
This radio complies with
Part 15 of Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation is subject to the following conditions: The device may not cause harmful inter- ference. This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that maycause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason
, FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long
distances. AM signals
follow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be rece
ived over longer dis-
tances.
Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience weak or
fading FM reception.
When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions,
reception can be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, under
bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals ar
e easily reflected by
buildings, this can also cause reception dis- turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna sl
ightly before the
reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
NOTE
Reset the time after the 12V starter battery terminals are disconnect
ed and reconnected.
Seconds do not appear
in the clock display,
but after adjusting the “minutes” setting, theclock begins to operate from 0 seconds.
