This warning light will illuminate when there is a problem with
a high voltage component.
Refer to “Service precautions” on page 7-2.
Power down warning light
N00573700020
If the warning light illuminates when the outside air tempera-
ture is very low, move the vehicle to a warmer location.
If the warning light illuminates after the vehicle has been
driven continuously uphill or when the outside air temperature
is very high, stop the vehicle in a safe place so the electric
motor unit and/or the main drive lithium-ion battery can cool
down. When they have cooled down, the warning light will go
off. If the warning light does not turn off, contact a certified i-
MiEV dealer.

park your vehicle in a safe place and contact a certi-
fied i-MiEV dealer.
If this warning light illuminates, the power pro-
vided by the electric motor will be reduced and the

This warning light will illuminate;
● When the energy level in the main drive lith-
ium-ion battery is near empty.
● When temperature of the electric motor unit
or the main drive lithium-ion battery is too
high or too low.
● When voltage of the main drive lithium-ion
battery becomes low.
If the energy level gauge shows 0 bar, the main
drive lithium-ion battery is near empty and must
be charged as soon as possible. Refer to “Charg-
ing” on page 1-15.
