WA R N I N G Individuals who use
implantable pace-
makers or implanta
ble cardiovascular-
defibrillators
should keep away from the
external and internal
transmitters. The
electromagnetic waves used in the MiEVRemote System may affect the operation of implantable pacemakers and implant- able cardiovascular-defibrillators. Individuals using ot
her electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak-ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should
check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirmthe effect of the el
ectromagnetic waves
used by the MiEV Remote System. The electromagnetic waves may affect theoperations of the el
ectro-medical appara-
tus. Never use the MiEV Remote near medical equipment. Electrom
agnetic waves could
adversely affect th
e medical equipment.

Keep the MiEV Remote in the place where children will not touch or play with theremote. When bringing the MiEV Remote on flights, do not press any switches on theMiEV Remote while on the plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane, the MiEV Remote emits electromagnetic waveswhich like cell phones and other wireless devices, could interfere with systems on the airplane.When carrying the MiEV Remote in a bag, be careful that no switches on the MiEV Remote can be pressed by mistake.CAUTION Never disassemble or modify the MiEV Remote. No user servic
eable parts are inside
except batteries. Disassembling or modifying the MiEV Remote or removing a label from the MiEV Remote may violate regulations. WA R N I N G
NOTE
 The MiEV Remote syst
em uses radio waves.
The MiEV Remote can operate withinapproximately 328 feet (100 m) from thevehicle. In the following environments or situations, the MiEV Remote may not transmit andreceive radio waves correctly. As a result, the remote may not
operate properly.
• When the vehicle a
nd the MiEV Remote
are separated by a
concrete wall.
• When there is a metal wall between the vehicle and the MiEV Remote. • When the vehicle is surrounded by other tall vehicles. • When the vehicle and/or the MiEV Remote is near a facility
emitting strong radio
waves, such as a television tower, a trans-former substation, a
broadcasting station or
an airport. • When other electrical equipment such as computers or cell-phones are placed near the MiEV Remote. • When the MiEV Remote touches some- thing metallic, or is
covered by a metal
object. • When batteries for the MiEV Remote are weak.
 Melody and buzzer from the MiEV Remote can be turned on or off. Refer to “To turn on/
off melody and buzzer”
on page 3-49.

 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

unlight, or subject to
extreme low temperatures. The MiEV Remote can
be damaged and may
not properly operate. Never drop or hit the MiEV Remote. Do not apply force to bend the antenna. These can cause damage to or failure of the remote. If the MiEV Remote gets wet, please wipe water off immediately.
Water entering the
MiEV Remote can cause a failure.
