9. Close the inner lid and close the quick charging lid.CAUTION Do not leave the quick charge connected to the quick charge port after charging.Someone might stumble on the charger orthe quick charge port might get damaged.NOTE
 Although it is possible
to start the electric
motor unit if quick charging has not finished normally, the charging indicator is continu-ously blinking. In such a situation, perform quick charging again and finish it normally or contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.WA R N I N G After charging, be sure to close the inner lid and the quick charging lid completely. Be careful that water or dust does not enter in the quick charge port, inner lidand quick charge connector. Entry of water or dust could cause a fire, electric shock or
short circuit.
NOTE
If the electric motor switch is turned to the “START” position with the quick chargeconnector connected to the quick chargeport, the electric motor unit cannot be started. Be sure to disconnect
the quick charge con-
nector before starting
the electric motor unit.
 Charging may stop before full charge. This is a control for efficient charge and not a mal- function. To achieve full charge, repeat charging fromStep 5 again.  Make sure that the inner lid is completely closed before closing the quick charging lid. If the quick charging lid is forcibly closed without first completely
closing inner lid, the
hinge on the inner
lid may be broken.

Charging cannot be started. The elec
tric motor switch is in the
ON position.
Before charging, place the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position.
The main drive lithium-ion battery is already fully charged.
Charging cannot be performed if the
main drive lithium-ion battery is
already fully charged. Charging automa
tically turns off if the main drive
lithium-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the main drive lithium-ion battery is too high or too low to charge.
Confirm the main drive lithium-ion battery temperature. Refer to “Cautions and actions to deal
with intense heat” on page 3-8 and
“Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold” on page 3-10.
The 12V starter battery is discharged. The main drive lith
ium-ion battery can be charge
d if the vehicle electrical
systems cannot be turned on. If the batte
ry is discharged, charge or jump
start the 12V starter battery. Refer
to “Jump-starting” on page 8-2.
The vehicle or the charging cable has a malfunction.
The vehicle or the charging cable ma
y have a malfunction. Confirm if the
warning light on the meter is illuminated. Confirm if the indicator on the charger is indicating a malfunction. If
a warning is displayed, stop charg-
ing and contact a cer
tified i-MiEV dealer.
The fuse has blown. Confirm if the fuse of the in
terior lights (dome lights) in the fuse block in
the passenger compartment located in front of the driver’s seat has blown. Refer to “Fuses” on page 9-18.

Regular charging is discon- tinued.
There is no power coming from the outlet.
There may have been a el
ectrical 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 con- nector has been pressed.
If the charge connector button is pre
ssed for a long period of time, charg-
ing 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 3-8 and
“Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold” on page 3-10.
Charging is stopped by the regular charge timer.
Charging will stop depending on the
timer function setting 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
connected 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 vehicl
e has a malfunction. Stop charging and
contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
The power switch of the quick char- ger is off.
Check the power switch of the quick charger. Consult an administrator or
a maker of the quick charger.
Quick charge is discontin- ued.
Charging is stopped by the quick charge timer.
Charging will stop depending on the
timer function setti
ng 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. Cha
rging is designed to stop when th
e main drive lithium-ion battery
capacity reaches 80%. If you need to
charge the main drive lithium-ion
battery more than 80%, start
the charging procedure again.
The power supply for the quick char- ger is off.
Check whether the power supply for the quick charger is off. Consult an administrator or

A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response for conven- tional vehicles would
also require the same
response for electric vehicles. Also follow the instru
ctions described below
to avoid severe burns a
nd electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death. 10- Quick charge portIn case of a collision
WA R N I N G If your vehicle is dri
vable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby locationand remain on the scene. Also, if possible, do the following opera- tions and stay out of the way of anyoncoming traffic while awaiting the arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.• Move the selector
lever to the “P”
• Apply the parking brake.• Open the windows,
doors and liftgate.
• Turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position.• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.• Move the key away from the vehicle to prevent unintended start-up of the sys- tem by inadvertent co
ntact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
 Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec- tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-ion battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside
or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see “High- voltage components” on page 3-34. If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the floor. Leaks or damage to the main drive lith- ium-ion battery may result in a fire. If youdiscover them, contact emergency services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium manganite from the Lithium-ionbattery, never touch any fluid leaking from the inside or outs
ide of the vehicle. If
the fluid contacts you
r skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to help
avoid serious injury.
If you are unable to safely assess the vehi- cle due to vehicle damage, do not touchthe vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency responders that this is
an electric vehicle.
WA R N I N G
If a fire occurs in th
is vehicle,
leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contactemergency services. Do not attempt toextinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire involves a lithium-ion battery, it will require large, sustained volumes of waterfor extinguishment.
Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious injury or death fromelectrical shock. When you leave the ve
hicle, if possible,
open the windows,
doors and liftgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/com- bustible gasses. This will also assist in therescue and fire fighting process. As with any vehicle fi
re, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale smoke, vapors, or gas
from the vehicle.
Move to a safe distan
ce upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire
and out of the way of
any oncoming traffic
while awaiting the
arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
If you detect leaking
fluids, sparks, smoke,
flames, gurgling, popp
ing or hissing noises
originating from the
high voltage battery
compartment, contact emergency services immediately. This may result in a fire. Physical damage to the vehicle or high voltage battery may result in immediate ordelayed release of t
oxic and/or flammable
gases and fire.WA R N I N G
