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

Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, put the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric motor unit. Restart the electric motor unit and check tosee whether the light goes out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.However, if the warning light does not disap- pear, or if it comes on
again when the vehicle
is driven, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked. The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle unstable.Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec- ommend you to have th
e vehicle checked.
N00568400058
The power steering system operates while the electric motor unit is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in ca
se the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at a certified i-MiEV dealer.
If the warning light illuminates while driving If only the ABS warning light illu- minate If the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminate at the same time
NOTE
 The warning light may
be illuminated when
the electric motor unit is started while the12V starter battery voltage
is low, but this is
not an ABS malfunction. When the main drive lithium-ion battery is charged, the 12V starte
r battery is charged at
the same time, and the
warning light will go
out. If the warning light does
not go out or illumi-
nates from time to time even after the battery is charged, take your ve
hicle to a certified i-
MiEV dealer and have
the system checked as
soon as possible.  After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice whic
h may have been left
around the wheels. On ve
hicles that have an
anti-lock braking system, be careful not todamage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.Front

 The cruising range is displayed based on the past drive data. It ma
y vary depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving situation, etc.) and
air conditioning operation
status.For example, the cruising range can be short- ened by driving on congested roads, by driv- ing uphill, by repeated ha
rd acceleration, and
by use of the air cond
itioner and heater.
When the 12V starter battery terminal is dis- connected, the power consumption data of the main drive lithium-ion battery in the pastis deleted. A differen
t value from before may

N00836301243
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, until you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the ready indicator light goes out while driving, the brakes a
nd steering will continue
to work, but without power assist, so more effort will be required
for braking and steer-
ing. Stop the vehicle on the shoulder of the road and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If you need to push your vehicle, turn theelectric motor switch to the “ON” position, and place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.
N00836400742
If the electric motor unit cannot be energizedbecause the 12V starter battery is weak ordead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets
that might make an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are nottouching each other.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi- cle and move the selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position. 4. Set the parking brake firmly on the othervehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”5. Turn the ignition switch (the electric motor switch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” position. 6. Remove the battery
cover, and then make
sure your 12V starter
battery electrolyte is
at the proper level. (Refer to “Checking 12V starter battery electrolyte level” onpage 9-8.)
If the vehicle breaks down Jump-starting
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be em
itted from the 12V
starter battery, carefully read this sectionbefore jump-starting the vehicle. Do not try to start the electric motor unit by pushing or towing the vehicle. This can cause an accident re
sulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehi-
cle.CAUTION Do not attempt jump st
arting the 12V starter
battery while the main
drive lithium-ion bat-
tery is being charged. Doing so could dam-age the vehicle or charging equipment.NOTE
 Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle.
It must have a 12V
battery. If the other system is not 12V, bothsystems can be damaged.NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will
help avoid sparks.
