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 to
see 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 the
vehicle 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 the vehicle checked.

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 mechanical
steering capability in case 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 the
12V starter battery voltage is low, but this is
not an ABS malfunction.
When the main drive lithium-ion battery is
charged, the 12V starter 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 vehicle 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 which may have been left
around the wheels. On vehicles that have an
anti-lock braking system, be careful not to
damage the wheel speed sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.
