N00836301243
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.

7. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery (A),
and then connect the
other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
8. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (B), and then connect the other end to the designated ground location of the vehicle with the discharged battery (A) at the point farthest from the battery.
9. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the engine idle a few min- utes, then start the electric motor unit byturning the electric motor switch to the ON position.
10. Check if the ready
indicator illuminates.
[When the ready indicator illuminates] Stop the engine of the other vehicle, and disconnect the cables in the reverse order and keep the electric motor switch in theON position to charge the 12V starter bat- tery for more than 30 minutes. After the 12V starter battery is charged,continue the process from step 17. [When the ready indicator does not illu- minate] Both the 12V starter battery and the maindrive lithium-ion battery
have gone flat at
the same time. Charge the 12V starter battery and themain drive lithium-i
on battery by follow-
ing steps from steps 11 to 15.
WA R N I N G If the electrolyte flui
d is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMPSTARTING!! The battery might split open or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the properlevel. WA R N I N G Make sure that the jumper cables and your clothing are clear of the cooling fansand drive belts. Entanglement with the fans or belts can cause serious personal injury.
NOTE
 Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe 12V starter battery. (Refer to “Disconnect
ion and connection” on
page 9-9.)  Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size. Otherwise heat damage
to the cables could
result.WA R N I N G Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting the batteries, of: 
.
Make sure that the connection is made to the correct designated location (as shown in the illustration) properly. If theconnection is directly made to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catchfire and explode, caus
ing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cables, do not connect the positive (+) cable to thenegative (-) terminal. Sparks can make thebattery explode.WA R N I N G

11. Keep the jumper cables to each vehicle
connected and turn
the electric motor
switch of your vehicle to the “LOCK”
12. Charge the main drive lithium-ion battery
by regular charging. The 12V starter bat-tery will automatically charge while the main drive lithium-ion battery is charging. (Refer to “Regular charging” on page3-16.)
13. When the charging indicator on the instru-
ment cluster is ill
uminated, stop the
engine of the other
vehicle and disconnect
the jumper cables in the reverse order.
14. Charge the main dr
ive lithium-ion battery
for more than 1 hour.
15. Disconnect the charging cable.
(Refer to “Regular charging” on page 3-16.)
16. Turn the electric motor switch to the
“START” position, make sure that the ready indicator on the instrument cluster is illuminated.If the ready indicator
does not illuminate,
perform the procedure again starting from step 5. If charging
cannot be performed,
consult a certified i-MiEV dealer.
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
from the 12V starter battery because thebattery may explode. Keep your work area well vented when charging or using the 12V starter battery in an enclosed space.  Remove all the caps before charging the 12V starter battery.  Electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive diluted sulphuric acid.
If electrolyte comes
in contact with your hands, eyes, clothes,or the painted surf
ace of your vehicle,
thoroughly flush with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediatelyand thoroughly with
water, and get
prompt medical attention. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working near the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of chil- dren.
