Anti-lock braking system 5-26 Features and controls
5
 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).

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
cables located at each wheel.Front

N00574400024
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on.Under normal conditions
, the warning light
comes on when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off afew seconds later.
N00559100163
The active stability c
ontrol (ASC) takes over-
all control of the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain the vehicle’s con- trol. Also refer to the following pages on the anti-lock braking system, traction controlfunction and skid control function. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
 P.5-25
Traction control function
 P.5-29
Skid control function

WA R N I N GDo not turn the key from the ON position while the vehicle is moving. Stopping theelectric motor unit would make the steer-ing wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTE
 During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you aremaneuvering the vehicle into a parking space), a protection
function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In this event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with
the headlights on, the
headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The headlights will return to their original brightne
ss after a short while.

CAUTION If the warning light a
ppears while the elec-
tric motor unit is running, have the vehicle inspected at a certified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible. It may become harder toturn the steering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has li
mits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the tr
affic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the specified type and size of tire on all four wheels
. Otherwise, the ASC
may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on
your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.

On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessively, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00546800049
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steeringmaneuvers. It works by controlling the elec- tric motor unit output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559401280
The ASC is automatically activated when theelectric motor switch is turned to the “ON”
vate the system by
pressing down the ASC OFF switch for 3 sec-onds or longer. When the ASC is deacti
vated, the indica-
tor will be illuminated. To reactivate the
ASC, momentarily
press the ASC OFF
switch; the indicator is turned off.
NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from under the hood in the fo
llowing situations.
The sound is associated
with checking the
operations of the ASC.
At this time, you may
feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion. • When the electric motor switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the electric motor unit is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from under the hood. This indicates that the system is operatingnormally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
CAUTION When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tires and drivethe vehicle at moderate speeds.
Skid control function
NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances. If you deactivate the ASC to move out of mud, sand or fresh snow
, be sure to reacti-
vate the ASC immediately when done. Do not deactivate
the ASC except when neces-
sary. If you depress the accelerator pedal exces- sively and the wheels continue spinning while the ASC is deactivated, the transmis- sion or other parts ma
y become damaged and
could cause an
accident.
