Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes
for more braking force with reduced brake
pedal effort.
Your brakes are designed to operate at full
capacity, even if the power assist is lost.
If the power assist is lost, the effort needed to
press the brake pedal is greater.
If you should lose the power assist for some
reason, the brakes will still work.
If the power brake unit or either of the two
brake hydraulic systems stop working prop-

Always pay special attention to pedestri-

motor switch back to the “LOCK” position
and again turn the switch to the “ON” posi-
tion.
It is not a malfunction if the indicator light
goes off. If the indicator light blinks again,
however, have the vehicle inspected at a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING
Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedal
stroke that would be necessary in an
emergency. Make sure that the pedal can
be operated freely at all times. Make sure
the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION
It is important not to drive the vehicle with
your foot resting on the brake pedal when
braking is not required. This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre-
mature pad wear, and possible damage to the
brakes.
