Restart the electric motor unit and check to see if the indicator comes on again.  If the indicator does not go out, or if it
comes on again, have your vehicle
inspected at a certified i-MiEV
dealer as soon as possible.

 If the warning light comes on, you shoul
d stop and adjust the tires to the
proper inflation pressure
as soon as possible.
(See “Tire inflation pr
essures” on page 9-13.)
Once adjustments have been made, the
warning light will go off after a few
minutes of driving.  If the warning light blinks for appr
oximately 1 minute and then remains
continuously illuminated, the system is
not operating properly. If the sys-
tem returns to normal, the warning li
ght will go off. If the warning light
does not go off, have the vehicle insp
ected at a certified i-MiEV dealer.

The vehicle is stuck
in sand, mud, or
snow.
Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it. P.8-13
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that
no one is near the vehicl
e. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free
a stuck vehicle may result
in transmission failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position, the current position of the selector lever is indi
cated on the instrument
cluster.
When the selector le
ver position indicator
flashes while you are driv
ing, there could be a
malfunction in the transmission.
Transmission Selector lever operation
While depressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever through the gate. Move the selector lever through the gate.
WA R N I N G Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the selector
lever into another
position from the
“P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position. Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while shifting the selector lever fromthe “P” (PARK) or
“N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.NOTE
 To avoid erroneous
operation, move the
selector lever firmly into each position andbriefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the select
or lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.  If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.

This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The electric motor unit can be started from the “PARK” position.
This position is to back up. Use this position only wh
en the vehicle is sta-
tionary for an extended length of time while driving, such as in a traffic jam.
Use this position for normal driving. Use this position when you desire to limit power consumption and/or when moderateregenerative braking is required. Use this position when strong regenerative braking is required, such as on a steep down-hill. Refer to “Regenerative braking” on page 3-3. Refer to “When driving downhill” on page6-5.
CAUTION If the selector lever pos
ition indicator blinks
while you are driving, it
is likely that a safety
device is operating be
cause of a malfunction
in the transmission system. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible. The selector lever posit
ion indicator warning
function does not operate with the selectorlever in the “R”
(REVERSE) position.

WA R N I N GDo not leave the vehicle with the electric motor switch in the “ON” position. The vehicle can move suddenly. To be sure the vehicle will not move,
even when you are
on level ground, alw
ays set the parking
brake and move the se
lector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position.
“R” REVERSE
CAUTION Never move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position whilethe vehicle is in motion. If the lever is moved to the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) posi- tion while the vehicle is in motion, the trans-mission could be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WA R N I N G Never move the select
or lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while the vehicle isin motion. You will lose regenerative brak- ing. In addition, a se
rious accident could
occur if the selector
lever were inadver-
tently moved into th
e “P” (PARK) position
or “R” (REVERSE) position.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION To avoid transmission
damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the electricmotor unit running, plac
e the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle sta-tionary with the service brake.
N00515100075
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unat- tended, always switch
off the electric motor
unit and carry the key.

While driving at low speeds, such as in park-ing lots, the acoustic vehicle alerting system(AVAS) alerts people who may not hear your vehicle approaching. The system sounds when the vehicle speed isapproximately 22 mph
(35 km/h) or less.
The acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) will operate under th
e following conditions:
 When the vehicle sp
eed is approximately
2 mph (3 km/h) or less and the brake pedal is not depressed.
WA R N I N G While driving on a slippery road, do not use the “B” position.
Abruptly releasing
the accelerator pedal can apply strongregenerative braking
causing the vehicle
to skid which could result in an accident.NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly
full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temp
erature is too high or
too low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced and stronger effort may berequired to operate the brakes.
Operation of the transmission
CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the electric
motor unit running and the vehicle station- ary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the transmission is engage
d, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to driveaway. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
 Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficien
cy and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
Waiting
CAUTION Never hold the vehicle
stationary on a hill
with the accelerator. Always apply the park- ing brake and/or service brake.
Parking
CAUTION
NOTE
 On a slope, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-cult to disengage the
selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring a
pplication of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK) position.

N00733900439
Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, a
nd signal interference.
This radio complies with
Part 15 of Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation is subject to the following conditions:  The device may not cause harmful inter- ference.  This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that maycause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason
, FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long
distances. AM signals
follow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be rece
ived over longer dis-
tances.
Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience weak or
fading FM reception.
When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions,
reception can be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, under
bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals ar
e easily reflected by
buildings, this can also cause reception dis- turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna sl
ightly before the
reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
NOTE
 Reset the time after the 12V starter battery terminals are disconnect
ed and reconnected.
 Seconds do not appear
in the clock display,
but after adjusting the “minutes” setting, theclock begins to operate from 0 seconds.
