You cannot charge the main drive lithium-ionbattery when the main drive lithium-ion bat-tery temperature is -13 °F (-25 °C) or lower. The air conditioning will automatically oper- ate and the main drive lithium-ion batterywill be heated when all the following condi- tions are met.
The energy level gauge (A) in the instrument cluster and charging i
ndicator (B) illuminate
while the main drive lithium-ion battery warming system is operating. The main drive lithium-ion battery warmingsystem will automatically stop when the main drive lithium-ion batter
y temperature is -4°F
(-20°C) or higher.
WA R N I N G After charging, be sure to close the inner lid and the regular charging lid com- pletely.Be careful that water or dust does not enter in the regular charge port inner lid and regular charge connector.Entry of water or dust could cause electric leakage, resulting in
a fire or electric
shock. After charging, be sure
to disconnect the
plug from the outlet.If the plug is left connected to the outlet, immersion in water or tampering may cause leakage or an
electric shock.

6. Insert the quick charge connector com- pletely into the quick charge port to begincharging. For connecting and di
sconnecting, follow
the instruction manual for each quickcharger.
7. Make sure that the charging indicator on the instrument cluster is illuminated. If the charging indicator is not illumi- nated, charging has not started. Refer to the quick charger user manual.
WA R N I N G Do not touch the metal terminal of the quick charge port (E) and the quickcharge 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 wayto the base. Failure to do so may result in the main drive lithium-ion battery not charging or causedamage to the charging equipment. Do not leave the inner lid open for any sig- nificant period of ti
me without the charge
connector inserted.
Foreign material, if
allowed to enter the port, can damage theport 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.
WA R N I N G 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 notlocked, the electric motor switch could be turned to the “START” position and the vehicle could start moving

8. Charging is complete when the charging indicator turns off.Disconnect the quick charge connector according to the manual of the quick char- ger. 9. Close the inner lid and close the quick charging lid.
 The charge level for the main drive lithium- ion battery can be checked with the energylevel gauge (F) on the
instrument cluster.
Refer to “Energy leve
l gauge” on page 5-40.
 Operation noise may be heard from the vehi- cle body during quick charging.This noise comes from operation of the main drive lithium-ion batter
y cooling system, and
it is not a malfunction.  Since the main driv
e lithium-ion battery
cooling system uses cool air from the airconditioning system,
the air conditioning
will automatically be operated. After quick charging, you may find dehu-midified water from
the air conditioning sys-
tem under the vehicle. It is not a malfunction.NOTE

CAUTION Do not leave the quick charge connected to the quick charge port after charging. Someone might stumble on the charger orthe quick charge port might get damaged.WA R N I N G After charging, be sure to close the inner lid and the quick charging lid completely.Be careful that water or dust does not enter in the quick charge port, inner lid and quick charge connector.Entry of water or dust could cause a fire, electric shock or
short circuit.
NOTE
If the electric motor switch is turned to the “START” position with the quick charge connector connected to the quick chargeport, the electric motor unit cannot be started. Be sure to disconnect
the quick charge con-
nector before starting
the electric motor unit.
Charging may stop before full charge. This is a control for efficient charge and not a mal-function.To achieve full charge, repeat charging from Step 5 again.  Make sure that the inner lid is completely closed before closing the quick charging lid. If the quick charging li
d is forcibly closed
