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

1. Fully apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps, air conditioning, etc.
and turn the electric
motor switch to the “LOCK” position.3. Pull the quick charging lid opener (A) at the bottom left of the driver’s seat to open the quick charging lid (B) at the left rearside of the vehicle.
4. Remove key and lock the vehicle. 5. Press the tab (C) to open the inner lid (D).
NOTE
Repeatedly performi
ng only quick charging
can reduce the battery capacity. Regularcharging is recommended unless quickcharging is necessary. Before using a publicly available quick char- ger, confirm that the charger is suitable for your vehicle. Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during charging. Do not turn the electric motor switch to the “ON” position during
quick charging; doing
so will stop quick charging. When using a quick charger, make sure that the time available is
enough so that the quick
charging can be finished in the time avail- able. If the power supply of the quick charger isshut off during quick ch
arging, it could lead
to a vehicle failure.

Failure to do so may result in the main drive lithium-ion battery not charging or causedamage to the charging equipment. Do not leave the inner lid open for any sig- nificant period of ti
me without the charge
connector inserted.
Foreign material, if
allowed to enter the quick charge port, candamage the quick charge port and/or prevent charging.NOTE

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

N00583900025
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The electric motor unit can be started from the “PARK” position.
This position is to back up. Use this position only wh
en the vehicle is sta-
tionary for an extended length of time while driving, such as in a traffic jam.
Use this position for normal driving. Use this position when you desire to limit power consumption and/or when moderateregenerative braking is required. Use this position when strong regenerative braking is required, such as on a steep down-hill. Refer to “Regenerative braking” on page 3-3. Refer to “When driving downhill” on page6-5.
CAUTION If the selector lever pos
ition indicator blinks
while you are driving, it
is likely that a safety
device is operating be
cause of a malfunction
in the transmission system. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible. The selector lever posit

N00584100024
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the electricmotor unit running, plac
e the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle sta-tionary with the service brake.
N00584200025
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unat- tended, always switch
off the electric motor
unit and carry the key.
N00571900028
While driving at low speeds, such as in park-ing lots, the acoustic vehicle alerting system(AVAS) alerts people who may not hear your vehicle approaching. The system sounds when the vehicle speed isapproximately 22 mph
(35 km/h) or less.
The acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) will operate under th
e following conditions:
When the vehicle sp
eed is approximately
2 mph (3 km/h) or less and the brake pedal is not depressed.
WA R N I N G While driving on a slippery road, do not use the “B” position.
Abruptly releasing
the accelerator pedal can apply strongregenerative braking
causing the vehicle
to skid which could result in an accident.NOTE
When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly
full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temp
erature is too high or
too low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced and stronger effort may berequired to operate the brakes.
Operation of the transmission
CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the electric
motor unit running and the vehicle station- ary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the transmission is engage
d, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to driveaway. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficien
cy and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
Waiting
CAUTION Never hold the vehicle
stationary on a hill
with the accelerator. Always apply the park- ing brake and/or service brake.
Parking
CAUTION
NOTE
On a slope, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the
