Charging troubleshooting guide
Symptom
Possible cause
Possible solution
Charging cannot be started.
The electric motor switch is in the ON position.
Before charging, place the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position.
The main drive lithium-ion battery is already fully charged.
Charging cannot be performed if the ma
in drive lithium-ion
battery is already
fully charged. Charging automatically turns off if the main drive lithium-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the main drive lithium-ion battery
is too high or too
low to charge.
Confirm the main drive lithium-ion battery temperature. Refer to “Cautions and acti
ons to deal with intense heat” on page 3-7 and “Cau-
tions and actions to deal wi
th intense cold” on page 3-9.
The 12V starter battery is dis- charged.
The main drive lithium-ion battery can be charged if the vehicle electrical sys- tems cannot be turned on. If the battery is
discharged, charge or jump start the
12V starter battery. Refer to
“Jump-starting” on page 8-2.
The vehicle has a malf
unction. The vehicle or charger
may have a malfunction. Confir
m if the warning light on
the meter is illuminated. Confirm if the indicator on the charger is indicating a malfunction. If a warning is displayed,
stop charging and contact a certified i-
MiEV dealer.
Regular charging can- not be started.
There is no electrical power coming from the outlet.
Confirm that there has not been a power fa
ilure. Make sure the breaker is on. If
an outlet with a timer device installed
is used, power will onl
y be available at
the time set by the timer. Confirm if the POWER indicator on
the control box
is illuminated.
The charge connector is not con- nected correctly.
Confirm the charge connector
is connected correctly.
Charging Timer by MiEV remote cannot be started.
Refer to “Action to be taken when the MiEV Remote
system does not operate correctly” on page 3-48.

Remote Climate Control
WA R N I N G The Remote Climate Control, even when set, cannot be relied upon to maintain safevehicle cabin temperatures while the vehi- cle is stopped or park
ed. Never leave chil-
dren or persons requiringsupervision/nursing unattended inside the vehicle. Temperature inside the vehicle could become extremely high or lowresulting in a risk of
heat stroke or hyper-
thermia that could result in death. In addition, children
can activate switches
and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident. While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, keep away from
the cooling fan
under the front hood,
since the cooling fan
may automatically operate even if the electric motor switch is in the “LOCK” position.NOTE
 The Remote Climate Control works regard- less the position of the air conditioningswitch or dial on the vehicle. While the Remote Climate Control is activated, the air conditioning switch or di
al on the vehicle
will not affect operation
of the cooler, heater
or defroster.
 The Remote Climate Control will automati- cally stop 30 minutes after the Remote Cli-mate Control has been set.  The Remote Climate Control is operated by electric power s
upplied through the EV
charging cable (regular charger).  Under the following c
onditions, the effect of
the Remote Climate Control can be decreased. • When the outside temperature is very high. • When the sunlight is strong.• When the outside temperature is very low.  When Remote Climate Control is activated while charging the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery, the time required to fully charge theMain Drive Lithium-ion Battery will become longer or the amount of charge may decrease if the OFF timer has been set.  If the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Warming System is operated while theRemote Climate Control is activated, the Remote Climate Control will stop. When the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery WarmingSystem stops, the Remote Climate Control will resume. Refer to “Main Drive Lithium- ion Battery Warming System” on page 3-20.  While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, if a heated seat switch is ON, theheated seat will operate.NOTE
To operate the Remote Climate Control
