General information/Charging

OTE

● 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 port before charging. Forcing the

charging connector to connect with the port while it is fro-

zen can damage the port and/or prevent charging.

6. Insert the charging cable plug into an outlet.

CAUTION

● To help keeping foreign material out of the charge

port, do not leave the inner lid open without con-

necting the charge connector.

WARNING

● Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into

the outlet before use.

● To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire due to

electric leak, always use an outlet protected by a

ground-fault circuit interrupter, rated for 15A or

more, and that is connected to a dedicated branch

circuit. If the circuit is shared, and another electrical

device is being used at the same time the vehicle is

charging, the breaker may trip, the circuit and out-

let may overheat or the circuit may cause adverse

interference on MCBs (Moulded Circuit Board) and

household to electrical appliances such as TVs and

audio systems.

● To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a

properly grounded and waterproofed outlet.

● Always use an AC 120V outlet rated for 15A or

more.
