Hood - Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2017 Owner's Manual

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.
 When replacing the 12V starter battery,
remove the positive (+) and negative (-) ter-
minals after turning the electric motor switch
to the "LOCK" position and waiting at least
2 minutes. If the 12V starter battery terminal
is removed just after the electric motor
switch is turned to the "LOCK" position, this
may cause damage to electric components.
If the electric motor unit warning light illu-
minates, do not replace the 12V starter bat-
tery. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
