N01203401056
The MiEV Remote System has the following three functions.  Charging Timer
 P.3-41
When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con-nected, the batteries will only charge during the pre-set
time period selected
using the MiEV Remote.
 Remote Climate Control
 P.3-47
When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con-nected, the air-conditi
oner or heater can
be activated for up to 30 minutes prior to vehicle usage. This feature can beused to cool or heat the car and to acti- vate the front and rear window defroster.
 Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Level Indicator
 P.3-50
The charge remaining in the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery can be con-firmed through the MiEV Remote.
For your quick reference, refer to “Basic operation of the MiEV Remote” on page 3-40.
 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
 The emergency shut-off
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
• Certain front, side or rear collisions. • Certain EV (Electric Vehicle) system mal- functions.
 When the emergency shut
-off system is acti-
vated, the ready indicato
r is turned off. Refer
to “Indicator and warning light package” on page 5-43.  If the emergency shut-off system activates, contact a Certifie
d i-MiEV dealer.

Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring
a long break-in period
of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the followi
ng precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Do not overload the ve
hicle. Observe the
seating capacity (See “Cargo load precau-tions” on page 6-10).  Do not use this vehi
cle for trailer towing.

Two keys are provided. The keys fit all locks. Keep one in a safe place as a spare key.

The electronic immobilize
r is designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-bilize the vehicle if
an invalid start is
attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions), using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
Break-in recommendations Keys
NOTE
 The key number (A) is stamped on the key number plate as shown
in the illustration.
Make a record of th
e key number and store
the key and key number plate in separate places, so that you can order a key from acertified i-MiEV dealer if the original keys are lost.  The key is a precision
electronic device with
a built-in signal transm
itter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent damage. • Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by direct sunlight, such as ontop of the dashboard. • Do not take the remote
control transmitter
apart. • Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong impacts. • Keep the remote control transmitter dry.• Keep away from magne
tic objects such as
key holders.
• Keep away from devi
ces that produce mag-
netism, such as audio systems, computersand televisions. • Do not clean with
ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity.
 As your vehicle is equipped with an elec- tronic immobilizer, the electric motor unit isdesigned so that it wi
ll not start if the ID
code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code
do not match. Refer to
the section entitled “E
lectronic immobilizer”
for details and key usage.

1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXXkg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.2.Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4.The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For exam- ple, if the “XXX” amount equals1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargoand luggage load
capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)5.Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight maynot safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacityof your vehicle.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
NOTE
The above steps for determining correct load limit were written in accordance with U.S.A. regula- tions.For your vehicle, please deter- mine correct load limit bearing in mind the following differ-ences:•Your vehicle’s seating capacityis 4 people.•Your vehicle cannot tow atrailer, so step 6 is irrelevant.

To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the
weight of all vehicle
occupants from the vehi
cle capacity weight.
For added information, if needed, refer to “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit” on page 6-8. DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing and Gross Axle Weight Rating numberslisted on the safety certification label located on the driver’s side door pillar as the guide for passengers and/or cargo weight.

Dinghy towing is towing the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground.
Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and may cause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion. Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Trailer towing
WA R N I N G Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing. It may not be possible to maintain control or adequate braking.
