When the vehicle sp
eed is approximately
2-22 mph (3-35 km/h).
The system will not operate under the follow- ing conditions: When the vehicle sp
eed is approximately
2 mph (3 km/h) or less and the brake pedal is depressed. When the vehicle sp
eed 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 theelectric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off a
few seconds later.
Always confirm the indicator light goes offbefore driving.

Overuse of the brake can cause poor brakeresponse and premature wear of the brakepads.

Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with reduced brakepedal effort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is lost.If the power assist is lost, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater. If you should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stop working prop-
WA R N I N G Always pay special attention to pedestri- ans. Even if the acou
stic vehicle alerting
system (AVAS) sounds, pedestrians may not notice your vehicle.
NOTE
If the indicator light blinks, turn the electric motor switch back to the “LOCK” positionand again turn the switch to the “ON” posi- tion. It is not a malfunction if the indicator lightgoes off. If the indica
tor light blinks again,
however, have the vehicl
e inspected at a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor
mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at
all times. Make sure
the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature pad wear, and pos
sible damage to the
brakes.

When the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position, the speedometer indicates thevehicle’s speed in mi
les per hour (mph) or
kilometers per hour (km/h).
N00572000013
It is possible to select
the speedometer’s dis-
play unit. 1. Press the reset button (A) to display the odometer (B). (Refer to “To change the display” on page5-35.)
2. Keep the reset button pressed for 2 sec- onds or longer to change the display unitfrom MPH to km/h or from km/h to MPH.
The display unit for the cruising range will change to match the selected speedometer’sdisplay unit.

The power consumption of the electric motor, the air conditioning, and power generation by the regenerative brake are indicated. When the ready indicator comes on, the redneedle will move to th
e neutral point (A) and
then move to the right or left according to the amount of power consumption or power gen-eration. [When the red needle moves to the right of the neutral point] This indicates that the electric motor unitand/or the air conditioning are consuming electric energy from the main drive lithium- ion battery.The more the needle moves to the right, the more electrical energy
is being consumed.
[When the red needle moves to the left of the neutral point]This indicates that electric energy is being generated by the regenerative brake and charged to the main dr
ive lithium-ion battery.
The more the needle moves to the left, the more electric energy is being generated.

Energy usage indicator
NOTE
When the main drive lithium-ion battery is at or near full charge, or
the main drive lithium-
ion battery temperature is too high or too low, the needle in the energy usage indicatormay not move to the left of the neutral point, since the main drive lithium-ion battery can- not receive charge.

1. The display shows the driving distance or number of months remaining until the next periodic inspection.
2. This informs you that a periodic inspec- tion is due. Contact a certified i-MiEVdealer to have the system checked. At this time, a spanner mark is shown for a few seconds whenever the electric motor switch is turned from the “LOCK”position or the “ACC” position to the “ON” position. 3. After your vehicle is inspected at a certi- fied i-MiEV dealer, it displays the time and miles (km) until the next periodic inspection.
With the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position or the
“ACC” position, it is
possible to reset the sp
anner mark (A) and “--

2. Give the reset button (D) a long push (at least 2 seconds) to make the spanner mark(A) start flashing. (If you do not touch the reset button for about 10 seconds while the spanner mark is
flashing, the display
will revert to its
original indication.)
3. Give the reset butt
on (D) a gentle push
while the spanner mark is flashing. The “------” indication (B) will change to “cLEAr” (C). 4. The driving distance or number of months remaining until the ne

This displays the approximate cruising range (how many more miles
or kilometres you can
drive). When the cruising range becomes short, the indicatio

CAUTIONThe customer is responsible for making sure that regular inspections
and maintenance are
performed. Inspections and mainte
nance must be per-
formed to prevent accidents and malfunc-tions.NOTE
It is not possible to re
set the “------” indica-
tion (B) with the electric motor switch in the “ON” position. When a certain distance has been driven and a certain period has elapsed after appearance of the “------” indicati
on (B), the indication
is automatically re
set and the number of
months until the next
periodic inspection is
shown.
If you accidentally rese

Bright Dim
NOTE
You can adjust to 4 different levels for when the parking lights or
headlights are illumi-

level of brightness.
When the combination headlights and dim- mer switch is in the “AUTO” position, themeter illumination switches automatically to the adjusted bright
ness, depending on the
brightness outside the vehicle. The brightness level
of the instruments is
stored when the electric motor switch isturned off. If the 12V starter battery is disconnected for a long time, these level of brightness will be reset.

This value (A) shows the outside temperature of the vehicle.
If the outside temperature drops below approximately 37 °F (3 °C), the alarm sounds and the outside air temperature warning indi- cator (B) flash for a
pproximately 10 seconds
to show there is a danger the road might be icy.
N00573100011
When the electric motor switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position,
pressing the selec-
tor button (A) for more than 2 seconds will switch the outside temperature unit between °F and °C.
NOTE
The cruising range is
displayed based on the
past drive data. It ma
y vary depending on the
driving condition (roa
d condition, driving
situation, etc.) and
air conditioning operation
status. For example, the cruising range can be short-ened by driving on congested roads, by driv- ing uphill, by repeated ha
rd acceleration, and
by use of the air c
onditioner and heater.
When the 12V starter battery terminal is dis- connected, the power
consumption data of
the main drive lithium-ion battery in the pastis deleted. A different
value from before may
be displayed. Be sure
to use the display only
for reference. When the main drive lithium-ion battery is charged, the approximate cruising range isupdated.
Outside temperature display
NOTE
The outside temperatur
e can be displayed
from -40 °F (-40 °C) to 122 °F (50 °C). When the outside temperature is over 122 °F (50 °C) or below -40 °F (-40 °C), the displaywill remain 122 °F (50 °C) or -40 °F (-40 °C). The outside temperatur
e displayed may dif-
fer from the actual temperature on account of surrounding conditions,
driving conditions,
etc.
CAUTION Even when the outside air temperature warn- ing indicator (B) indica
tions do not flash, the
road may be icy, so please take care when driving.
