General information/Charging 3-3

N01205601023

Motion energy is converted into electric

energy using the motor as a power generator.

While decelerating, electric energy will be

created 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 that

equivalent 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” (ECO

MODE) as follows:

• “B”: Strong regenerative braking (For

downhill driving)

• “ECO”: Moderate regenerative braking

(For economical driving or gentle down-

hill driving)

 As greater brake force is applied by

depressing the brake pedal, increased

regenerative braking occurs.

N01200300015

 Keep the brake pedal depressed until you

are ready to drive. When the vehicle is in

the “D” (DRIVE), “ECO” (ECO MODE),

“B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE)

or “R” (REVERSE) position, if you

release the brake pedal and even if you do

not depress accelerator, the vehicle will

creep and may move slowly.

Regenerative braking

WARNING

NOTE

 When the main drive lithium-ion battery

level is full or nearly full, or the main drive

lithium-ion battery temperature is too high or

too low, the regenerative braking force may

be reduced and stronger service brake effort

may be required to operate the brakes. When

the main drive lithium-ion battery level is no

longer full or near full, or the main drive lith-

ium-ion battery temperature has returned to a

normal range, the regenerative brake force

will resume.

 If a problem occurs in the electric motor unit,

or if the ABS and/or the ASC have been acti-

vated, the regenerative braking will be

restricted. The service brakes will still oper-

ate.

Main drive lithium-ion battery

WARNING

 The main drive lithium-ion battery is a

sealed high voltage battery and has no

user serviceable parts.

• To avoid severe burns and/or electrical

shock that may result in serious injury or

death, never attempt to detach the main

drive lithium-ion battery from the vehi-

cle or try to disassemble it.

• Never attempt to dispose or recycle the

main drive lithium-ion battery by your-

self. Consult with a certified i-MiEV

dealer, when the main drive lithium-ion

battery is disposed or recycled.

• Never attempt to use the main drive lith-

ium-ion battery for any other purpose.

CAUTION

 To help prevent damage to the main drive

lithium-ion battery, follow the instructions

described below. Failure to do so can result

in damage to the main drive lithium-ion bat-

tery that will not be covered by the main

drive lithium-ion battery warranty.

• Do not leave your vehicle with the energy

level gauge (Refer to “Energy level gauge”

on page 5-40) showing 0 bars.

• Repeatedly performing quick charging can

reduce battery capacity. Regular charging is

recommended unless quick charging is nec-

essary.
