lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position.
Cannot shift the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position.
Shift the selector lever wh

The vehicle is stuck
in sand, mud, or
snow.
Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it. P.8-13
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that
no one is near the vehicl
e. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free
a stuck vehicle may result
in transmission failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator. While decelerating, electric energy will becreated and used to charge to the main drive lithium-ion battery. If you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal while driving, a braking force thatequivalent to the engine braking of a gas- oline or diesel powered vehicle engine vehicle will
be generate.
For increased regenerative braking, set the selector lever to “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or “ECO” (ECOMODE) as follows: • “B”: Strong regenerative braking (For downhill driving)• “ECO”: Moderate regenerative braking (For economical driving or gentle down- hill driving)
As greater brake fo
rce is applied by
depressing the brak
e pedal, increased
regenerative braking occurs. When regenerative braking produces strong brake force, the stop lights willilluminate, even if the brake pedal is not depressed.

Keep the brake pedal depressed until you are ready to drive. When the vehicle is inthe “D” (DRIVE), “ECO” (ECO MODE),“B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or

Put the selector lever in the “B” (REGEN- ERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or “Eco” (ECOMODE) position according to the road con-dition. Using appropriate regenerative brak- ing can help increase
the cruising range.

1. Fully apply the parking brake and place the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion. 2. Stop the electric devices such as lampsand turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position. 3. Pull the regular charging opener (B) at thebottom left of the instrument panel to open the regular charging lid (C) at the right rear side of the vehicle.
4. Remove key and lock the vehicle. 5. Press the tab (D) to open the inner lid (E).

WA R N I N G Do not touch the metal terminal of the charge port (F) an
d the regular charge
connector.Doing so could cause an electric shock and/or malfunction.CAUTION To help keeping forei
gn material out of the
charge port, do not leave the inner lid openwithout connecting th
e charge connector.
NOTE
There is a hole on the charge port for water drainage. If this hole
is blocked and water
gets trapped in the charge port, do not charge. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer. If the charge port becomes frozen, use a hair dryer to defrost and dry the regular chargeport before charging. Forcing the charging connector to connect w
ith the regular charge
port while it is frozen
can damage the regular
charge port and/or prevent charging.
