3-2 General information/Charging

N01200100013

i-MiEV is a pure electric vehicle. Some of the

vehicle systems operate differently from and

have different characteristics than ordinary

vehicles equipped with an internal combus-

tion engine. For this reason, it is very impor-

tant to read carefully this entire owner’s

manual.

 i-MiEV is powered only by electricity.

This vehicle does not emit exhaust gases,

such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen

oxide.

 The i-MiEV uses electricity stored in the

lithium ion battery. The lithium-ion bat-

tery is called the main drive lithium-ion

battery. This vehicle does not have an

internal combustion engine and does not

require gasoline or diesel fuel.

 The main drive lithium-ion battery must

be charged with electricity to drive the

vehicle. As the vehicle operates, the main

drive lithium-ion battery gradually dis-

charges. If the main drive lithium-ion bat-

tery becomes completely discharged, the

vehicle will not operate until it is re-

charged. The charging process can take up

to 23 hours as described more precisely in

this manual.

 This vehicle uses two types of batteries.

One is 12V starter battery that is the same

type of the battery used in ordinary vehi-

cles. It is called the 12V starter battery.

The other battery which propels the vehi-

cle is called the main drive lithium-ion

battery.

 The 12V starter battery provides power to

the vehicle systems and features such as

the audio system, supplemental restraint

systems, headlights and windshield wiper.

 The main drive lithium-ion battery pro-

vides power to the electric motor that pro-

pels the vehicle and charges the 12V

starter battery.

 Through a process called regenerative

braking, the main drive lithium-ion bat-

tery is automatically charged, while the

vehicle is decelerating or being driven

downhill.

Main features

NOTE

 If the 12V starter battery is discharge, the

electric motor unit cannot be started. And

also the main drive lithium-ion battery can-

not be charged.

WARNING

 Pay special attention to pedestrians.

Because there is no engine noise, pedestri-

ans may not know the vehicle is approach-

ing and may step into the path of vehicle

travel. Refer to “Acoustic vehicle alerting

system (AVAS)” on page 5-23.

 When leaving the vehicle, always turn off

the electric motor switch. Refer to “Elec-

tric motor switch” on page 5-18.

 When parking, to avoid unintended vehi-

cle movement, always move the selector

lever to “P” (PARK) position and apply

the parking brake because the vehicle can

move when the ready indicator light is

ON. When the ready indicator light is ON,

do not leave the selector lever in a position

other than the “P” (PARK) position. For

the ready indicator, refer to “Indicator

and warning light package” on page 5-41.
