N00572800024
The energy level gauge indicates the remain- ing power in the main drive lithium-ion bat- tery during charging or when the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position.
N00572900025
When the electric motor switch is in the“ON” position and the remaining bar of theenergy level gauge shows 2 bars or less, the warning indicator (A) and the charging bars (B) flash as follows: When the energy level gauge shows 2 bars: The warning indicator flashes. When the energy level gauge shows 1 bar: The warning indicator and the charging barsflash alternately. Recharge the main drive lithium-ion battery as soon as possible.
NOTE
 Disconnecting the batter
y cable causes the
outside temperature unit memory to beerased. If it has been disconnected, readjust the unit with the above procedure.
Energy level gauge
F- Battery is fully charged. E- Charge the battery.
NOTE
 The charging indicator is also illuminated during charging.Refer to “Charging i
ndicator” on page 5-42.
Low energy warning indicator
NOTE
If the energy level gauge shows 0 bars during use of the air conditioning, the cooling or heating may stop opera
tion and the mode is
changed to fan only.  If the energy level gauge shows 0 bars, the power down warning light
is illuminated to
control the output.  If the energy level gauge shows 2 bars while the main drive lithium-ion battery is being charged, the warning i
ndicator flashes. If the
energy level gauge shows 1 bar while the main drive lithium-ion battery is being charged, the warning indicator and the charg-ing bars flash alternately.

The ser- vice brake system is working normally, if the warning light goes out and the buzzer stopssounding in a few seconds.
12V starter battery charging system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light stays on after the ready indicator illuminates,
there may be a prob-
lem with the charging system for the 12Vstarter battery.• Immediately park your
vehicle in a safe
place and contact a cert
ified i-MiEV dealer.
• Do not charge the
12V starter battery.
Door-ajar warning light and buzzer
CAUTION Before driving, make sure that the door-ajar warning light is off. NOTE
 The flashing of the warning light and the buzzer can be disabled. For further details, plea
se contact a certified
i-MiEV dealer.  When the driver’s door is open, the door-ajar warning buzzer does not
sound because the
electric motor remi
nder sounds instead.

CAUTION If this light illuminates while driving, imme- diately park your vehicle in a safe place andcontact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
Power down warning light
If this warning light illumi- nates, the power provided bythe electric motor will be reduced and the vehicle will be only able to move at lowspeeds. This warning light will illu- minate; When the energy level in the main drive lithium-ion battery is near empty.
