WARNING
When servicing the vehicle, make sure

is disconnected. Failure to do so could
result in an electric shock.
When checking or servicing under the
hood or the coolant reserve tank, be sure
the electric motor unit is stopped and it
has had a chance to cool down.
If you need to work under the hood with
the electric motor unit on, be careful that
your clothing, hair, etc. does not get
caught in the fan or other moving parts.
The fan can turn on automatically even if
the electric motor unit is not running.
Turn the electric motor switch to the
“LOCK” position to be safe while you are
working under the hood.
Do not smoke or allow open flames around
the 12V starter battery.
Be extremely careful when working
around the 12V starter battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
Handling your vehicle’s parts and materi-
als in the wrong way can injure you. Ask a
certified i-MiEV dealer if you have ques-
tions.
CAUTION
The components inside the electric motor
unit room may be very hot to the touch.
Make sure all components have sufficiently
cooled before beginning an inspection.
These components are affixed with a label
indicating precautions for handling. Follow
the instructions on the label.
