If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans- port the vehicle on a
flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle either with all wheels or therear wheels (drive
wheels) off the ground.
If the rear wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to the elec-tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if wiring in the electric motor unit room becomes damaged. Refer to “Towing” onpage 8-11. Do not attempt to repair a damaged elec- tric vehicle yourself. Please contact a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer for service. In the event of an ac
cident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered
to a Certified i-MiEV
dealer to have the main drive lithium-ion battery and high voltage
parts such as the
inverter, including the attached wiringharness, removed prior to painting. If exposed to heat in the paint booth, the main drive lithium-ion battery will experi-ence battery capacity loss. A damaged main drive lithium-ion battery can also pose safety risks to untrainedmechanics and repair personnel.NOTE

system will be acti-
vated and the high-volta
ge system will auto-
matically turn off under the following conditions:WA R N I N G
