The MiEV Remote System has the following three functions.  Charging Timer
 P.3-41
When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con-nected, the batteries will only charge during the pre-set
time period selected
using the MiEV Remote.
 Remote Climate Control
 P.3-47
When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con-nected, the air-conditi
oner or heater can
be activated for up to 30 minutes prior to vehicle usage. This feature can beused to cool or heat the car and to acti- vate the front and rear window defroster.
 Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Level Indicator
 P.3-50
The charge remaining in the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery can be con-firmed through the MiEV Remote.
For your quick reference, refer to “Basic operation of the MiEV Remote” on page 3-40.
 If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans- port the vehicle on a
flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle either with all wheels or therear wheels (drive
wheels) off the ground.
If the rear wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to the elec-tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if wiring in the electric motor unit room becomes damaged. Refer to “Towing” onpage 8-11. Do not attempt to repair a damaged elec- tric vehicle yourself. Please contact a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer for service. In the event of an ac
cident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered
to a Certified i-MiEV
dealer to have the main drive lithium-ion battery and high voltage
parts such as the
inverter, including the attached wiringharness, removed prior to painting. If exposed to heat in the paint booth, the main drive lithium-ion battery will experi-ence battery capacity loss. A damaged main drive lithium-ion battery can also pose safety risks to untrainedmechanics and repair personnel.NOTE

It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined bydistributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis- tributing to each axle its share of the curbweight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight;(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.  Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard e
quipment including the
maximum capacity of oil, and coolant.
 Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those st
andard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats,
radio, and heater,
to the extent that these items are available as factory- installe
d equipment (whether
installed or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity.  Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not prev
iously considered in
curb weight or accessory weight, includ- ing heavy duty brakes,
ride levelers, roof
rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the number of specified occupants.(In your vehicle the number is 2)  Occupant distributi
on: distribution of
