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 3-15and on “Regular charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)” on page 3-16 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.
NOTE
All indicators are illuminated momentarily for confirming operation when the chargingcable plug is inserted into an outlet. Afterthat, the POWER indi
cator is continuously
illuminated and the CH
ARGING indicator is
continuously blinking. The CHARGING indicator will start to blink when charging is completed. The POWERindicator is continuous
ly illuminated while

Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of cras
hes. For added protec-
tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemen
tal Restraint System
(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks are also safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraintsystems in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked. That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
