NOTE
 The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indicator is
illuminated, all doors
and the liftgate are
unlocked by using the
keyless entry system.  The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indicator is illuminated, the elec-tric motor switch is turned to the “ON”.  The system will not be armed if a door or the liftgate is not completely closed. If this hap- pens, rearm the system
as described above.
 The theft-alarm system can be activated when people are riding inside the vehicle or when the windows are open. To prevent acci-dental activati
on of the alarm, do not set the
system to the system armed mode while peo- ple are riding in the vehicle.  If the answerback function (flashing of the turn signal lights by locking and unlockingthe doors and the liftgate

erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly. You will know this ha
s happened if you find
you need to depress the brake pedal downfurther, or harder when slowing down or stop- ping, or if the brake warning light comes on.
N00532500162
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when
the brake pads have
worn down enough to need service. If youhear this sound, have
the brake pads replaced
at a certified i-MiEV dealer.
N00567300063
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00517900325
The anti-lock braking
system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking. This helps you keep control of your vehicleand its direction.
WA R N I N G Never turn off the electric motor switch while driving. Doing so will result in a loss of power assist for the brakes and steer-ing, increasing the effort required to steer and brake the vehicle.NOTE
 At times, you may hear
the brake electric
vacuum pump for the power brakes operat-ing when the ready i
ndicator illuminates or
the brake pedal is depressed. This sound is normal a
nd does not indicate a
problem.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Brake assist system
CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make
sure to always keep a
sufficient distance be
tween vehicles in front
of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.
 The brake assist syst
em may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it
has not been depressed
suddenly.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjuncti
on with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is depre
ssed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not
indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist sy
stem is operating nor-
mally.

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.
