(1) Preparation of rescue operation
1) Always approach vehicle from the sides to stay out of potential travel path. It may be difficult to
determine if the vehicle is running due to lack of engine noise.
2) Obtain the Key (remote key) from the driver who may be carrying it in a pocket or purse. The
vehicle cannot be moved without the Key (remote key).
3) Alert other road users of an emergency by activating the hazard warning lamps, etc.
4) Move the Key (remote key) away from the vehicle to prevent unintended start-up of the system by
inadvertent contact with a switch or damage from the crash.
5) Set the select lever to “P (Parking)” position, apply the parking brake, and install wheel chocks.
NOTE:
When the 12V battery is disconnected or removed, you cannot open the liftgate.
(2) To approach the passengers
WARNING:
Make sure the high voltage system is deactivated before performing the rescue operation, if not,
resulting in serious injury by electrical shock and in the worst case, it could result in death.
Wear the insulated Personal Protective Equipment (rubber insulating gloves and rubber soled
insulating shoes) [withstand voltage of 400 V or more] if it is inevitable to touch the internal
exposed portion of high voltage parts or high voltage harness, or if there is a danger of touching
them.
CAUTION:
On vehicles with the MiEV Remote System, be sure to disconnect the negative terminal of the
12V battery because the system (12V battery charging function, Remote Climate Control
function) may be activated unexpectedly and there is a risk of high voltage operation.
Open and close the door to ensure deactivation of the MiEV Remote System, because the
MiEV Remote System is in the activated state and the high voltage system is operating in case
that the negative terminal of the 12V battery is disconnected while the MiEV Remote System is
activated.
1) After confirming the stop of the vehicle (high voltage system), open or remove the window or the
door to approach the passengers.
2) Secure the rescue space inside the vehicle by adjusting the position of the steering wheel or the
seat, and removing the head restraint or the seat belt.
