can result in a fire, property damage, andserious injury or death.Carefully read instructions regarding “Precautions during
charging the main
drive lithium-ion battery” on page 3-14and on “Regular charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)” on page 3-15 and describe
d in this section
and follow them. Always use an outlet protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter, rated for 15A or more, and that
is connected to a
dedicated branch circuit. Never use an extension cable or conver- sion adapter. When using a non-wate
rproof outlet, take
care to avoid contact
with rainwater dur-
ing charging. Never connect or disconnect the plug with a wet hand. Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into the socket before use. Continued charging with a plug not completely inserted or pulled
halfway out of the
socket may result in a risk of overheating or fire. If the indictors show the EV charging cable malfunctions as described below, stop using the EV charging cable and con-tact a certified i-MiEV dealer. Never disassemble the EV charging cable or attempt to open
the control box.

Cleaning the EV charging cable
WA R N I N G Before cleaning, be sure to remove the charging cable plug from the socket andthe regular charging plug from the vehi- cle. Do not connect or disconnect the plug with a wet hand. Doing so can cause anelectric shock.
 Never expose the metal terminal of the regular charge connector or the chargingcable plug to water or neutral detergent.Water or detergent entering into the plugs can cause a fire or
an electric shock.
CAUTIONNever use benzine, petrol, organic solvents, acid, or alkaline solvents to clean the charg- ing cable. Doing so c
ould cause deformation,
discolour, or malfunction. Also, these sub- stances may be present
in various cleaners,
so check carefully before use.

It is very importa
nt to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight andincludes the weight of all occupants, cargo and non-factory-installed options. The tire and loading information placard located onthe driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. 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 vehi
cle 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 equipment including themaximum 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, powerwindows, 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)
