short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver safety belt was buckled/fastened;  How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,  How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat posit
ion sensor is attached
to the seat rail and provides the airbag control unit with information
on the seat’s fore-aft
position. The airbag control unit controlsdeployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, th
e SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light” on page 4-26.
N00418000351
The passenger’s seat oc
cupant classification
sensor system is attached to the front passen- ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con- trol unit with inform
ation regarding the
occupant on the front passenger seat. The air- bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance withthe information it receives from this system. The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenger’s seat or a child in a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger’s airbag off indi
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s ai
rbag off indicator” on
page 4-25. If there is a problem involving the passen-ger’s seat occupant cl
assification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warninglight” page 4-26.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no dataare recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying
data routinely acquire
d during a crash inves-
tigation.
Driver’s seat position sensor
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning
light comes on, have
the vehicle inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible. Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate correctly.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back

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.

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.

 When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is
slightly different
from normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system mayalso prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or anyuneven road surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat-ing and hear a unique sound. You may also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed.In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
 An operation noise may be emitted from under the hood in the following situations.The sound is associated with checking the operations of the anti-lock braking sys- tem.At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction.• When the electric motor switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the electric motor is turned on.
 The ABS can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph(5 km/h).
N00531600661
This light comes on in the event of a malfunc-tion in the anti-lock braking system. It willalso come on as a self-check for a few sec- onds when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position.
Always make sure that
the light goes out befo
re beginning to drive.
Driving hints
CAUTIONThe anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take
safety precautions and to drive carefully.  Be sure to use the spec
ified type and size of
tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ABS may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABSmay stop functioning properly.
Anti-lock braking system warn- ing light
CAUTION If the anti-lock braking system warning light comes on and stays on af
ter starting the elec-
tric motor unit or while driving, it means that the anti-lock braking system is not workingand that only the standard brake system is available. (The standard brake system will still work properly.) If this happens, takeyour vehicle to a certif
ied i-MiEV dealer as
soon as possible.

Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, put the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric motor unit. Restart the electric motor unit and check tosee whether the light goes out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.However, if the warning light does not disap- pear, or if it comes on
again when the vehicle
is driven, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked. The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle unstable.Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec- ommend you to have th
e vehicle checked.
N00568400058
The power steering system operates while the electric motor unit is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in ca
se the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at a certified i-MiEV dealer.
If the warning light illuminates while driving If only the ABS warning light illu- minate If the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminate at the same time
NOTE
 The warning light may
be illuminated when
the electric motor unit is started while the12V starter battery voltage
is low, but this is
not an ABS malfunction. When the main drive lithium-ion battery is charged, the 12V starte
r battery is charged at
the same time, and the
warning light will go
out. If the warning light does
not go out or illumi-
nates from time to time even after the battery is charged, take your ve
hicle to a certified i-
MiEV dealer and have
the system checked as
soon as possible.  After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice whic
h may have been left
around the wheels. On ve
hicles that have an
anti-lock braking system, be careful not todamage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
