A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response for conven- tional vehicles would
also require the same
response for electric vehicles. Also follow the instru
ctions described below
to avoid severe burns a
nd electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death. 10- Quick charge portIn case of a collision
WA R N I N G If your vehicle is dri
vable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby locationand remain on the scene. Also, if possible, do the following opera- tions and stay out of the way of anyoncoming traffic while awaiting the arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.• Move the selector
lever to the “P”
• Apply the parking brake.• Open the windows,
doors and liftgate.
• Turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position.• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.• Move the key away from the vehicle to prevent unintended start-up of the sys- tem by inadvertent co
ntact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
 Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec- tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-ion battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside
or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see “High- voltage components” on page 3-34. If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the floor. Leaks or damage to the main drive lith- ium-ion battery may result in a fire. If youdiscover them, contact emergency services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium manganite from the Lithium-ionbattery, never touch any fluid leaking from the inside or outs
ide of the vehicle. If
the fluid contacts you
r skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to help
avoid serious injury.
If you are unable to safely assess the vehi- cle due to vehicle damage, do not touchthe vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency responders that this is
an electric vehicle.
WA R N I N G
If a fire occurs in th
is vehicle,
leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contactemergency services. Do not attempt toextinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire involves a lithium-ion battery, it will require large, sustained volumes of waterfor extinguishment.
Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious injury or death fromelectrical shock. When you leave the ve
hicle, if possible,
open the windows,
doors and liftgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/com- bustible gasses. This will also assist in therescue and fire fighting process. As with any vehicle fi
re, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale smoke, vapors, or gas
from the vehicle.
Move to a safe distan
ce upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire
and out of the way of
any oncoming traffic
while awaiting the
arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
If you detect leaking
fluids, sparks, smoke,
flames, gurgling, popp
ing or hissing noises
originating from the
high voltage battery
compartment, contact emergency services immediately. This may result in a fire. Physical damage to the vehicle or high voltage battery may result in immediate ordelayed release of t
oxic and/or flammable
gases and fire.WA R N I N G

N00573700020
If the warning light illuminates when the out- side air temperature is very low, move thevehicle to a warmer location.
If the warning light illuminates after the vehi- cle has been driven continuously uphill orwhen the outside air temperature is very high, stop the vehicle in a safe place so the electric motor unit and/or the main drive lithium-ionbattery can cool down. When they have cooled down, the warning light will go off. If the warning light does not turn off, contact acertified i-MiEV dealer.
N00522501805
Rotate the switch to operate the lights.
Power down warning light
If this warning light illumi-nates, the power provided by the electric motor will be reduced and the vehicle willbe only able to move at low speeds. This warning light will illu-minate;  When the energy level in the main drive lithium-ion battery is near empty.  When temperature of the electric motor unit or the main drive lithium-ion battery is too high or toolow.  When voltage of the main drive lithium-ion batterybecomes low.
If the energy level gauge shows 0 bar, the main drivelithium-ion battery is near empty and must be charged as soon as possible. Refer to“Charging” on page 3-13.
NOTE
 When the power down warning light illumi- nates, avoid rapid st
arts and aggressive
acceleration.  Illumination of the
power down warning
light does not indica
te a malfunction.
 If the power down warn
ing light illuminates
while the air conditioning is used, the cool- ing or heating may stop operating and only the fan will operate.
Combination headlights and dimmer switch Headlights
NOTE
 Do not leave the headli
ghts and other lights
on for a long period of time while the readyindicator is not illu
minated. A run down 12V
starter battery
could result.
 When it rains, or wh
en the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the same as whenwindow glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a pr
oblem. When the light
is switched on, the heat will dry out the fog.However, if water collects inside the light, have it checked by a certified i-MiEV dealer.

7. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery (A),
and then connect the
other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
8. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (B), and then connect the other end to the designated ground location of the vehicle with the discharged battery (A) at the point farthest from the battery.
9. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the engine idle a few min- utes, then start the electric motor unit byturning the electric motor switch to the ON position.
10. Check if the ready
indicator illuminates.
[When the ready indicator illuminates] Stop the engine of the other vehicle, and disconnect the cables in the reverse order and keep the electric motor switch in theON position to charge the 12V starter bat- tery for more than 30 minutes. After the 12V starter battery is charged,continue the process from step 17. [When the ready indicator does not illu- minate] Both the 12V starter battery and the maindrive lithium-ion battery
have gone flat at
the same time. Charge the 12V starter battery and themain drive lithium-i
on battery by follow-
ing steps from steps 11 to 15.
WA R N I N G If the electrolyte flui
d is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMPSTARTING!! The battery might split open or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the properlevel. WA R N I N G Make sure that the jumper cables and your clothing are clear of the cooling fansand drive belts. Entanglement with the fans or belts can cause serious personal injury.
NOTE
 Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe 12V starter battery. (Refer to “Disconnect
ion and connection” on
page 9-9.)  Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size. Otherwise heat damage
to the cables could
result.WA R N I N G Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting the batteries, of: 
.
Make sure that the connection is made to the correct designated location (as shown in the illustration) properly. If theconnection is directly made to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catchfire and explode, caus
ing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cables, do not connect the positive (+) cable to thenegative (-) terminal. Sparks can make thebattery explode.WA R N I N G
