selection dial is set
to the “AUTO” position, the air flow is adjusted automatically according to the tem-perature of the interior and the position of the temperature control dial.
NOTE
Do not use the cooling function with the MAX switch for a l
ong time. Because the
power consumption is gr
eatly increased, the
cruising range is shortened.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. Have the system inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
When the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position, the air conditioning com- pressor runs automatically. Outside air intro-duction will also be se
lected automatically.
When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to the
maximum cool position.
This would blow c
ool air on the window
glass and fog it up. Since defogging or defrosting with the MAX switch consumes a la
rge amount of power,
stop the switch after
defogging or defrosting.
Use the MAX setting for a long time decreases the cruising range.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, an
d 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 received over longer dis- tances.
Because of the limite
d 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 ca
n be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly 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, the
clock begins to opera
te from 0 seconds.

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, until you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the ready indicator light goes out while driving, the brakes a
nd steering will continue
to work, but without power assist, so more effort will be required
for braking and steer-
ing. Stop the vehicle on the shoulder of the road and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If you need to push your vehicle, turn theelectric motor switch to the “ON” position, and place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.
N00836400742
If the electric motor unit cannot be energizedbecause the 12V starter battery is weak ordead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets
that might make an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are nottouching each other.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi- cle and move the selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position. 4. Set the parking brake firmly on the othervehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”5. Turn the ignition switch (the electric motor switch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” position. 6. Remove the battery
cover, and then make
sure your 12V starter
battery electrolyte is
at the proper level. (Refer to “Checking 12V starter battery electrolyte level” onpage 9-8.)
If the vehicle breaks down Jump-starting
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be em
itted from the 12V
starter battery, carefully read this sectionbefore jump-starting the vehicle. Do not try to start the electric motor unit by pushing or towing the vehicle. This can cause an accident re
sulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehi-
cle.CAUTION Do not attempt jump st
arting the 12V starter
battery while the main
drive lithium-ion bat-
tery is being charged. Doing so could dam-age the vehicle or charging equipment.NOTE
Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle.
It must have a 12V
battery. If the other system is not 12V, bothsystems can be damaged.NOTE
Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will
help avoid sparks.

17. Refit the battery cover. (“Checking 12V
starter battery electr
olyte level” on page
9-8.)
NOTE
The jumper cables need to be connected to the 12V starter battery when you start charg-ing the main drive lithium-ion battery because the on board char
ger etc. operate uti-
lizing power from the
12V starter battery.
NOTE
When the regular charge connector is con- nected to the charge port, the charging indi-cator will blink. When charging has started,the charging indicator will illuminate.
Charging the 12V starter bat- tery by using an external bat-tery charger
WA R N I N G Always remove the
12V starter battery
from your vehicle wh
en the 12V starter
batter is charged by an external battery charger. Keep sparks, cigare
ttes and flames away
