Quick Charging (Charging Method With Quick Charger) (If So Equipped) - Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2011 Owner's Manual

Quick charging (charging method with
quick charger)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the quick charging port.
The quick charge port is compatible with most CHAdeMO*
(Japanese industry standard) connectors on charging stations.
*: Charging stations using this standard are UL certified and
safe to use in the US.
Improper charging can result in a fire, property damage, and
serious injury or death.
Carefully read instructions on "Precautions during charging the
main drive lithium-ion battery" on page 1-18, described in this
section and also instructions for a quick charger you uses, and
follow them.
WARNING
!
Be sure to use a quick charger compatible with i-
MiEV. Use of a non-compatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction.
For the quick charger compatible with i-MiEV, con-
sult an certified i-MiEV dealer.
For operation of a quick charger, follow instructions
for each quick charger.
Never connect or disconnect the charger with a wet
hand.
Never pull the cable to disconnect the charger.
During charging, the cooling fans under the hood
may automatically be operated even if the electric
motor switch is in the "LOCK" position. Keep your
hands away from the cooling fan during charging.

WARNING
!
As the quick charge connector is heavier in compar-
ison to the regular charge connector, allowing it to
drop could cause damage to the vehicle or charge
connector or personal injury.
CAUTION
!
If the charge connector cannot easily be connected
to the charge port, do not force the connection. For-
eign material may be in the charge connector or
charge port, or the charging device may not be com-
patible with your vehicle. Contact a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
NOTE
Repeatedly performing only quick charging (if so
equipped) can reduce the battery capacity. Regular charg-
ing is recommended unless quick charging is necessary.
Before using a publicly available quick charger, confirm
that the charger is suitable for your vehicle.
Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during
charging.
1. Fully apply the parking brake and move the selector lever
to the "P" (PARK) position.
2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps, air conditioning,
etc. and turn the electric motor switch to the "LOCK"
position.
