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

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.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, an
d 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 received over longer dis- tances.
Because of the limite
d 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 ca
n be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly 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, the
clock begins to opera
te from 0 seconds.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth tofree it. Do not spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can cause transmissionfailure. If your vehicle is still
stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truckservice.
 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to the section entitled “Snow tires” on page 9-15 and “Tire chains” on page 9-16.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the brakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking. If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off the pedal. Steer gently in the direction of theskid.  Your vehicle is equippe
d with an anti-lock
braking system (ABS), hold the brakepedal down firmly and
keep it depressed.
Do not pump the brake pedal which will result in reduced braking performance.
CAUTION If the transmission or the steering system has a problem or damage,
transport the vehicle
on a flatbed truck or to
w the vehicle with the
all wheels off the ground. If the electric motor switch is in the “ON”
lting in an accident.
Make sure the electric motor switch is in the“ACC” position before towing.
Operation under adverse driving conditions If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow
WA R N I N G When trying to rock
your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are nopeople nearby. The
rocking motion can
make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and inju
re any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTIONDo not drive on a flooded road. If you drive on a flooded road, not only the electric motorunit stops but also a fail
ure like electric leak-
age or short circuit may occur. If you inevitably had to run on a floodedroad and the vehicle was exposed to water, be sure to have your vehicle inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightlyseveral times while driv
ing to dry the brake
pads or linings, then check them again.  When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface (aquaplaning). This l
oosens your tires’ grip
on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.
• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
