Carefully read instructions on “Precautions
during charging the main drive lithium-ion

tion and also instructions for a quick charger
you uses, and follow them.
1. Fully apply the parking brake and move
the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.
2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps,
air conditioning, etc. and turn the electric
motor switch to the “LOCK” position.

the bottom left of the driver’s seat to open
the quick charging lid (B) at the left rear
side of the vehicle.
4. Remove key and lock the vehicle.

WARNING
 Be sure to use a quick charger compatible
with i-MiEV. Use of a non-compatible
quick charger may cause a fire or mal-
function.
For the quick charger compatible with i-
MiEV, consult an certified i-MiEV dealer.
 For operation of a quick charger, follow
instructions for each quick charger.
 Never connect or disconnect the charger
with a wet hand.
 Never pull the cable to disconnect the
charger.
 During charging, the cooling fans under
the hood may automatically be operated
even if the electric motor switch is in the
“LOCK” position. Keep your hands away
from the cooling fan during charging.
 As the quick charge connector is heavier
in comparison to the regular charge con-
nector, allowing it to drop could cause
damage to the vehicle or charge connector
or personal injury.
CAUTION
 If the charge connector cannot easily be con-
nected to the charge port, do not force the
connection. Foreign material may be in the
charge connector or charge port, or the
charging device may not be compatible with
your vehicle. Contact a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
NOTE
 Repeatedly performing only quick charging
can reduce the battery capacity. Regular
charging is recommended unless quick
charging is necessary.
 Before using a publicly available quick char-
ger, confirm that the charger is suitable for
your vehicle.
 Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft,
etc. during charging.
