Regular charging is discontinued.
There is no power coming from the outlet.
There may have been a electrical power
failure, or the
breaker may have
failed.Charging will resume when
the power source is reset.
The EV charging cable has been dis- connected.
Check that the EV charging ca
ble has not been disconnected.
The button on the regular charge connector has been pressed.
If the charge connector button is pressed
for a long period of time, charging will
be stopped. Start the charging procedure again.
The temperature of the main drive lithium-ion battery is too hot or too cold to charge.
Confirm the main drive lithium-ion battery temperature. Refer to “Cautions and actions to deal
with intense heat” on page 3-7 and “Cau-
tions and actions to deal w
ith intense cold” on page 3-9.
Charging is stopped by the regular charge timer.
Charging will stop depending on
the timer function settin
g of the regular charge
device. If you need to charge the main
drive lithium-ion battery more, start the
charging procedure again.
Quick charging cannot be started.
The charge connector is not con- nected correctly and/or not locked.
Check that the charge connector is conn
ected correctly and that it is locked.
The self-diagnostic function of the quick charge device returns a nega- tive result.
There is a possibility that the vehicle ha
s a malfunction. Stop charging and con-
tact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
The power switch of the quick char- ger is off.
Check the power switch of the quick charger.
Quick charge is discon- tinued.
Charging is stopped by the quick charge timer.
Charging will stop depending on the time
r function setting of the quick charge
device.If you need to charge
the main drive lithium-ion battery more, start the
charging procedure again.
Charging stops at 80% capacity. Charg
ing is designed to stop when the ma
in drive lithium-ion battery capacity
reaches 80%. If you need to charge the ma
in drive lithium-ion battery more than
80%, start the charging procedure again.
The power supply for the quick charger is off.
Check whether the power supply for the quick charger is off.

The power consumption of the electric motor, the air conditioning, and power generation by the regenerative brake are indicated. When the ready indicator comes on, the redneedle will move to th
e neutral point (A) and
then move to the right or left according to the amount of power consumption or power gen-eration. [When the red needle moves to the right of the neutral point] This indicates that the electric motor unitand/or the air conditioning are consuming electric energy from the main drive lithium- ion battery.The more the needle moves to the right, the more electrical energy
is being consumed.
[When the red needle moves to the left of the neutral point]This indicates that electric energy is being generated by the regenerative brake and charged to the main dr
ive lithium-ion battery.
The more the needle moves to the left, the more electric energy is being generated.

Energy usage indicator
NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery is at or near full charge, or
the main drive lithium-
ion battery temperature is too high or too low, the needle in the energy usage indicatormay not move to the left of the neutral point, since the main drive lithium-ion battery can- not receive charge.
