Symptom
Possible cause
Possible solution 
Charging cannot be started. The elec 
tric 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  
main drive lithium-ion battery is  
already fully charged. Charging automa 
tically 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 actions to deal 
 with intense heat” on page 3-8 and  
“Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold” on page 3-10. 
The 12V starter battery is discharged. The main drive lith 
ium-ion battery can be charge
d if the vehicle electrical  
systems cannot be turned on. If the batte 
ry is discharged, charge or jump  
start the 12V starter battery. Refer  
to “Jump-starting” on page 8-2. 
The vehicle or the charging cable has  a malfunction. 
The vehicle or the charging cable ma 
y have a malfunction. Confirm 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 charg- 
ing and contact a cer 
tified i-MiEV dealer. 
The fuse has blown. Confirm if the fuse of the in 
terior lights (dome lights) in the fuse block in  
the passenger compartment located in front of the driver’s seat has blown. Refer to “Fuses” on page 9-18.

 The transmitter signal will reach further when the antenna of the MiEV Remote isfully extended and held upright.  The onboard antenna is printed on the right side delta glass  
of the vehicle. 
 When the MiEV Remote is not used for more than 30 seconds, the MiEV Remote willautomatically turn off.  Some charge facilities
 have a timer function 
which turns the power supply on and off automatically. When using a charge facility with this timer function, please adjust thecharging time set by the MiEV Remote to be consistent with the timer used by the charg- ing facility.  When you need additi
onal MiEV Remotes, 
please contact a certified i-MiEV dealer. Upto four MiEV Remotes  
can be used per vehi- 
cle.  You may hear operating sounds such as sounds from the cooli 
ng fan and air condi- 
tioning compressor when the Remote Cli-mate Control is activated even if the electric motor switch is in “LOCK” position during timer charging. This is normal.Refer to “Remote Climate Control” on page 3-47.NOTE
