6. Insert the quick charge connector com-
pletely into the quick charge port to begin
charging.
For connecting and disconnecting, follow
the instruction manual for each quick
charger.

the instrument cluster is illuminated.
If the charging indicator is not illumi-
nated, charging has not started.
Refer to the quick charger user manual.
WARNING
 Do not touch the metal terminal of the
quick charge port (E) and the quick
charge connector.
Doing so could cause an electric shock
and/or malfunction.
CAUTION
 Be sure to insert the quick charge connector
straight into the quick charge port all the way
to the base.
Failure to do so may result in the main drive
lithium-ion battery not charging or cause
damage to the charging equipment.
 Do not leave the inner lid open for any sig-
nificant period of time without the charge
connector inserted. Foreign material, if
allowed to enter the port, can damage the
port and/or prevent charging.
NOTE
 There is a hole on the charge port for water
drainage. If this hole is blocked and water
gets trapped in the charge port, do not
charge. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
 If the charge port becomes frozen, use a hair
dryer to defrost and dry it before charging.
Forcing the charging connector into the
charging port while it is frozen can damage
the port, and it may prevent charging.
WARNING
 Be sure to insert the charge connector
completely into the charge port.
If the charge connector is only partially
inserted and the connector latch is not
locked, the electric motor switch could be
turned to the “START” position and the
vehicle could start moving
NOTE
 When the quick charging plug is connected
to the charging connection, the charging
indicator will blink. Once charging has
started, the charging indicator will illumi-
nate.
