Individuals using an
electro-medical
apparatus such as implantable pacemak-ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should
check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the el
ectromagnetic waves
from charging. The el
ectromagnetic waves
may affect the operations of the electro- medical apparatus. If you use an electro-medical apparatus, such as an implanta
ble cardiac pacemaker
or an implantable ca
rdiovascular
defibril-
lator, observe the following precautions before charging;• Keep your electro-medical apparatusaway from the charge connector, EVcharging cable, control box and regular charging station.• While regular charging;· Do not stay inside the vehicle. · Do not go inside the vehicle, for exam- ple to remove or place an item in the passenger compartment.· Do not open the liftgate, for example to remove or place an item in the cargo area.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, con- nect only to a prop
erly grounded and
waterproofed outlet. Never use an extension cable, multi-plug adapter or conversion adapter. Using them may cause overheating result- ing in fire.WA R N I N G
 Never force the connection if the charging cable or plug shows damage or is not eas-ily connected due to foreign materialentering the plug or the outlet. Never use an outlet that is worn, damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly. Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into the outlet before use. While it is normal fo
r the plug and charg-
ing cable to become warm during charg- ing, discontinue use immediately if the plug or charging cable becomes too hot totouch. Never pull the cable to remove the plug.Never connect or disconnect the plug with a wet hand.NOTE
 Your vehicle is equipped with an EV charg- ing cable for regular charging. Refer to “EVcharging cable” on page 3-23.  When connecting or

8. Open the cap (I) on the regular charge connector (J) and make sure that there is no foreign matter such as dust at the end of the regular charge connector and theregular charge port. 9. Connect the regular charge connector until a click is heard without pressing thebutton (K).
WA R N I N G Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into the outlet before use. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire due to electric leak,
always use a grounded
outlet protected by a
ground-fault circuit
interrupter, rated AC
120V and rated for
15A or more, that is connected to a dedi-cated branch circuit. If the outlet is not grounded, the risk of
electrical shock will
increase in the event of an insulation fail-ure in the EV charging cable. If the circuit is shar
ed, and another elec-
trical device is being
used at the same time
the vehicle is chargi
ng, the circuit may
heat abnormally, the breaker may trip and the circuit may cause adverse inter-ference on the household electrical appli- ances such as tele
visions and audio
systems.
 Never use an extension cable, multi-plug adapter or conversi
on adapter. Using
them may cause over
heating resulting in
fire. To prevent an electric
al shock or fire, do
not use a multi type outlet. The grounded line may not work properly and it is not a dedicated type outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock, con- nect only to a prop
erly grounded and
waterproofed outlet. Always use an AC 120V outlet rated for 15A or more.WA R N I N G
G H
WA R N I N G  If the selected electrical current level exceeds the electrical current capacity ofthe electrical circuit
or outlet being used
for charging, the circuit and outlet can overheat resulting in fire. If the capacity of an outlet and its electri-cal circuit are unknown, do not use the outlet for charging the vehicle.

Some typical situations are shown in the illustrations. Because the front airbags do not protect the occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to always wear your seat belts properly.
The front airbags may deploy if the underside of the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe impact (undercarriage im
pact). Some typical
situations are shown in the illustrations. Because the front airb
ags may deploy in cer-
tain types of unexpected
impacts, as shown in
the illustrations, and these unexpected impacts can move you out
of position, it is
important to always wear your seat belts properly. When worn properly, seat belts canhelp maintain your distance from the airbags when they begin to inflate. The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forcefuland can cause serious injury or death if you are close to the deploying airbag.

The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillars and roof side ra
il. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of thevehicle that is impacted
, even with no passen-
ger in the front seat.Curtain airbag system
WA R N I N G The side airbag and curtain airbag can cause serious injury
or death to anyone
too close to the airbag when it deploys. To reduce the risk of in
jury from a deploying
side airbag and curtai
n airbags, all occu-
pants must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the mid- dle of the seat. Do
not lean against the
door.
WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
rear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should betaken with children. Do not place any objects near or around the front of either front seatback. Such objects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment and cause injury duringdeployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers,
labels or additional
trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbag deployment. Do not install seat c
overs or re-cover seats
that have side airbag
s. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance.
 Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where thecurtain airbag (B) depl
oys, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof
side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflate,
the microphone or
other object may be
hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or seriousinjury. WA R N I N G Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.WA R N I N G

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per-formed only by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do any ser- vice, inspection, main
tenance or repair on
any SRS components or
wiring. Similarly,
no part of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or disposed
by anyone except a
certified i-MiEV dealer. Improper work methods on the SRS com- ponents or wiring could result in an acci-dental airbag deploym
ent or could make
the SRS inoperable. Ei
ther of these situa-
tions could result in serious injury ordeath.  Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component
or related vehicle
part. For example, replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications to thefront bumper or body structure can adversely affect SR
S performance and
may lead to injury. If your vehicle has re
ceived any damage,
you should have the
SRS inspected by a
certified i-MiEV dealer to make sure it is in proper working order.
 Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modificationscan adversely affect
SRS performance and
may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by a certified
i-MiEV dealer.  If you find a crack in
or damage to the
front pillar, rear pillar, or roof side rail where the curtain airbag is located, havethe SRS inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.NOTE
 When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we
urge you to alert the
new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS

It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined bydistributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis- tributing to each axle its share of the curbweight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight;(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.  Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard e
quipment including the
maximum capacity of oil, and coolant.
 Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those st
andard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats,
radio, and heater,
to the extent that these items are available as factory- installe
d equipment (whether
installed or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity.  Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not prev
iously considered in
curb weight or accessory weight, includ- ing heavy duty brakes,
ride levelers, roof
rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
