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 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).

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 page5-37.) 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’s display 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 red needle will move to th
e neutral point (A) and
then move to the right or left according to theamount 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 unit and/or the air conditioning are consumingelectric energy from the main drive lithium- ion battery. The more the needle moves to the right, themore electrical energy
is being consumed.
[When the red needle moves to the left of the neutral point] This indicates that electric energy is beinggenerated by the regenerative brake and charged to the main dr
ive lithium-ion battery.
The more the needle moves to the left, themore electric energy
is being generated.

Odometer, trip odometer, dash lights bright- ness indicator, service reminder, cruising
range indicator, and outside temperature are displayed.

The display is changed every time the resetbutton (A) is briefly pressed.
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 toolow, the needle in the energy usage indicator may 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 thenext 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 spanner mark (A) and “------” indication (B). When they have been
reset, the driving dis-
tance or number of m
onths remaining until
the next periodic inspection are shown and the spanner mark (A) is no longer shown every time the electric motor switch is turnedfrom the “LOCK” position or the “ACC” position to the “ON” position.
1. Push the reset button (D) to view the driv- ing distance or number of months remain-ing until the next periodic inspection. 2. Give the reset button (D) a long push (at least 2 seconds) to ma
ke 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 button (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 monthsremaining until the next periodic inspec- tion will be shown.
NOTE
 The indicated distance decreases in steps of 100miles (100 km). The indicated number ofmonths decreases in steps of one month.
 It is possible to change the settings for the service reminder.For further information, we recommend youto consult a certified i-MiEV dealer.
