This displays the approximate cruising range(how many more miles
or kilometres you can
drive). When the cruising range becomes short, the indicatio
n changes to “---”.
CAUTIONThe 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 reset
the display, consult
a certified i-MiEV dealer for assistance.

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 bereset.
Cruising range indicator
NOTE
 The cruising range is displayed based on the past drive data. It ma
y vary depending on the
driving condition (road 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 cond
itioner 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 differen
t value from before may
be displayed. Be sure
to use the display only
for reference.NOTE

N00573700020
If the warning light illuminates when the out- side air temperature is very low, move thevehicle to a warmer location.
If the warning light illuminates after the vehi- cle has been driven continuously uphill orwhen the outside air temperature is very high, stop the vehicle in a safe place so the electric motor unit and/or the main drive lithium-ionbattery can cool down. When they have cooled down, the warning light will go off. If the warning light does not turn off, contact acertified i-MiEV dealer.
N00522501805
Rotate the switch to operate the lights.
Power down warning light
If this warning light illumi-nates, the power provided by the electric motor will be reduced and the vehicle willbe only able to move at low speeds. This warning light will illu-minate;  When the energy level in the main drive lithium-ion battery is near empty.  When temperature of the electric motor unit or the main drive lithium-ion battery is too high or toolow.  When voltage of the main drive lithium-ion batterybecomes low.
If the energy level gauge shows 0 bar, the main drivelithium-ion battery is near empty and must be charged as soon as possible. Refer to“Charging” on page 3-13.
NOTE
 When the power down warning light illumi- nates, avoid rapid st
arts and aggressive
acceleration.  Illumination of the
power down warning
light does not indica
te a malfunction.
 If the power down warn
ing light illuminates
while the air conditioning is used, the cool- ing or heating may stop operating and only the fan will operate.
Combination headlights and dimmer switch Headlights
NOTE
 Do not leave the headli
ghts and other lights
on for a long period of time while the readyindicator is not illu
minated. A run down 12V
starter battery
could result.
 When it rains, or wh
en the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the same as whenwindow glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a pr
oblem. When the light
is switched on, the heat will dry out the fog.However, if water collects inside the light, have it checked by a certified i-MiEV dealer.

For economical driving,
there are some tech-
nical requirements that
have to be met. In
order to achieve longer life of the vehicle andthe most economical
operation, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked at reg- ular intervals according to the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Avoid driving with the
accelerator pedal fully
depressed, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, accelerati
on and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the
accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed as constant as possi
ble while driving.
Parking for a long period with the ready indi- cator illuminated will shorten the cruisingrange. At higher the vehicle speed the more main drive lithium-ion battery
is consumed. Avoid
driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal wi
ll save a significant
amount of main drive lithium-ion battery charge. Check the tire inflation pressures at regular intervals Low tire inflat
ion pressure increases
road resistance. In addi
tion, low tire pressures
adversely affect tire we
ar and driving stabil-
ity. Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compartment. Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to exte
nd the cruising range.
N00628900010
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below thelegal minimum. If you
have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non- drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or usepublic transportation. Drinking coffee or tak- ing a cold shower will not make you sober. Similarly, prescription and nonprescriptiondrugs affect your aler
tness, perception and
reaction time. Consul
t with your doctor or
pharmacist before dr
iving while under the
influence of any of
these medications.

 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still
keeping good visibil-
ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accele
rator, and controls.
Check the instrument panel indicators forany possible problem.  Move the front passe
nger seat as far back
as possible.  Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecti
ng the defroster mode,
and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-9.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns.
Look for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires for proper pressures. Replace your tires beforethey are heavily worn out.
As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, th
erefore, be performed
only by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and
high-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for wa
ter, oil, or other
leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are cor- rect.
N00629200124
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that youcan avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:
 Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
 Always obey applicable
laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.
N00629400416
 Check the 12V starter battery, including terminals and cables. During extremely cold weather, the 12V starter battery willnot be as strong and
its power level may
drop. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe headlights are as bright as normal. Charge or replace the 12V starter battery if necessary. During extreme coldweather, it is possibl
e that a very low 12V
starter battery could freeze.
