“N” NEUTRALUse this position only when the vehicle is stationary for an
extended length of time while driving, such as in a traffic jam.“D” DRIVEUse this position for normal driving.
“ECO” ECO MODEUse this position when you desire to limit power consumption
and/or when moderate regenerative braking is required.“B” REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODEUse this position when strong regenerative braking is required,
such as on a steep downhill.NOTE
When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or
nearly full, or the main drive lithium-ion battery tempera-
ture is low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced
and stronger effort may be required to operate the brakes.
WA R N I N G
!
Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while the vehicle is in motion. You
will lose regenerative braking. In addition, a serious
accident could occur if the selector lever were inad-
vertently moved into the “P” (PARK) position or
“R” (REVERSE) position.
CAUTION
!
To avoid transmission damage, never shift into the
“D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE)
position while the vehicle is in motion.
WA R N I N G
!
While driving on a slippery road, do not use the “B”
position. Abruptly releasing the accelerator pedal
can apply strong regenerative braking causing the
vehicle to skid which could result in an accident.

7Brake fluid
N00938700261
To check the fluid levelThe brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads,
but this does not indicate any abnormality.
The brake fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when
doing other work under the hood. The brake system should also
be checked for leaks at the same time.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time,
it indicates a leak in the brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
Fluid typeUse the recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt
and water out.
CAUTION
!
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix
with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage
the seals.
Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage
painted surfaces.
Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of
brake fluid have different additives, and these can
cause a chemical reaction. Do not mix brands of
brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep the brake
fluid from evaporating.
