● In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to rec-

ognize the registered ID code from the key. This means

the electric motor unit will not start even when the

registered key is turned to the “START” position.

• When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or

magnetic object (Type A)

• When the key grip contacts metal of another key

(Type B)

• When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizing

keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)

● In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away

from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or

“LOCK” position. Then try to start the electric motor unit

again. If the electric motor unit does not start, contact a

certified i-MiEV dealer.
