OTE
● The 240V EVSE compatible with i-MiEV is available
separately. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
WARNING
!
● Before cleaning, be sure to remove the charging
cable plug from the socket and the regular charging
plug from the vehicle. Do not connect or disconnect
the plug with a wet hand. Doing so can cause an elec-
tric shock.
● Never expose the metal terminal of the regular
charge connector or the charging cable plug to
water or neutral detergent.
Water or detergent entering into the plugs can cause
a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
!
● Never use benzine, petrol, organic solvents, acid, or
alkaline solvents to clean the charging cable. Doing
so could cause deformation, discolour, or malfunc-
tion. Also, these substances may be present in vari-
ous cleaners, so check carefully before use.
CAUTION
!
● Be sure to use a 240V EVSE compatible with i-
MiEV. Use of a non-compatible 240V EVSE may not
charge the main drive lithium-ion battery correctly
or may damage the main drive lithium-ion battery.
