The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
reduce pollen and dust entering the cabin.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dust will be reduced
as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the mainte-
nance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL”.NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road or frequent use of the air conditioning can reduce the
service life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is
lower than normal or when the windshield or windows
start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assistance.

If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far away as possi-
ble from the audio equipment.

If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at a certified
i-MiEV dealer. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using
the audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.

or fire, have the system checked at a certified i-MiEV
dealer.

5General information about your radio
N00733900439
Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM and FM stations.
The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles,
and signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Opera-
tion is subject to the following conditions:

The device may not cause harmful interference.

This device must accept any interference recieved, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesirable operation.
Signal transmissionFM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they
reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, FM broad-
casts cannot be received over long distances. AM signals fol-
low the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper
atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received
over longer distances.Weak reception (fading)Because of the limited range of FM signals and the way FM
waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM recep-
tion. When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar
obstructions, reception can be disturbed.
CAUTION
!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party meeting the above conditions could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
