N01200100013
i-MiEV is a pure electric vehicle. Some of the vehicle systems operate differently from and have different characteristics than ordinaryvehicles equipped with an internal combus- tion engine. For this reas
on, it is very impor-
tant to read carefull
y this entire owner’s
manual.
N01200200027
 i-MiEV is powered only by electricity. This vehicle does not
emit exhaust gases,
such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenoxide.  The i-MiEV uses electricity stored in the lithium ion battery. The lithium-ion bat-tery is called the main drive lithium-ion battery. This vehicl
e does not have an
internal combustion engine and does notrequire gasoline
or diesel fuel.
 The main drive lithium-ion battery must be charged with electricity to drive thevehicle. As the vehi
cle operates, the main
drive lithium-ion battery gradually dis- charges. If the main drive lithium-ion bat-tery becomes completely discharged, the vehicle will not
operate until it is re-
charged. The charging process can take upto 23 hours as descri
bed more precisely in
this manual.  This vehicle uses two types of batteries. One is 12V starter battery that is the same type of the battery used in ordinary vehi-cles. It is called the 12V starter battery. The other battery which propels the vehi- cle is called the main drive lithium-ionbattery.  The 12V starter battery provides power to the vehicle systems and features such asthe audio system, supplemental restraint systems, headlights a
nd windshield wiper.
 The main drive lithium-ion battery pro- vides power to the electric motor that pro- pels the vehicle and charges the 12V starter battery. Through a process called regenerative braking, the main drive lithium-ion bat- tery is automatically charged, while thevehicle is decelera
ting or being driven
downhill.
Familiarizing yourself with i-MiEV Main features
NOTE
 If the 12V starter batter
y is discharge, the
electric motor unit ca
nnot be started. And
also the main drive lithium-ion battery can-not be charged.WA R N I N G Pay special attention to pedestrians. Because there is no engine noise, pedestri- ans may not know the vehicle is approach-ing and may step into
the path of vehicle
travel. Refer to “Aco
ustic vehicle alerting
system (AVAS)
