To avoid erroneous operation, move the selector lever
firmly into each position and briefly hold it there. Always
check the position shown by the selector lever position
display after moving the selector lever.

If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock
device activates to prevent the selector lever from being
moved from the “P” (PARK) position.

3-38 Features and controls
3Acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS)
N00571900028
While driving at low speeds, such as in parking lots, the acous-
tic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) alerts people who may not
hear your vehicle approaching.
The system sounds when the vehicle speed is approximately 22
mph (35 km/h) or less.
The acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) will operate
under the following conditions:

When the vehicle speed is approximately 2 mph (3 km/h)
or less and the brake pedal is not depressed.

When the vehicle speed is approximately 2-22 mph (3-35
km/h).
The system will not operate under the following conditions:

When the vehicle speed is approximately 2 mph (3 km/h)
or less and the brake pedal is depressed.

When the vehicle speed is approximately 22 mph (35
km/h) or more.

When the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.Under normal conditions, the indicator light in the instrument
cluster illuminates when the electric motor switch is turned to
the “ON” position and goes off a few seconds later. Always
confirm the indicator light goes off before driving.
NOTE
If the indicator light blinks, turn the electric motor switch
back to the “LOCK” position and again turn the switch to
the “ON” position.
It is not a malfunction if the indicator light goes off. If the
indicator light blinks again, however, have the vehicle
inspected at a certified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
!
Always pay special attention to pedestrians. Even if
the acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) sounds,
pedestrians may not notice your vehicle.
