Maximum load indicates the maxi- mum load this tire is designed to carry. Maximum Pressure indicates the maximum permissible cold tire infla-tion pressure for this tire. The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire but the date
NOTE
European/Japanese metric tire sizing is based on European/Jap- anese design standards. Tires designed to these standards havethe tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the sec- tion width. The letter “P” isabsent from this tire size desig- nation. Example: 215/65R15 96H.LT (Light Truck) -metric tiresizing is based on U.S.A. designstandards. The size designation for LT-metric tires is the same as for P-metric tires except for theletters “LT” that are molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example:LT235/85R16.
Service Description 95
Load index A numerical code associ- ated with the maximum load a tire can carry.
H
Speed symbol A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corre- sponding to its
load index
under certain operating con-ditions.The maximum speed corre- sponding to the speed sym- bol should only be achieved under specified operating conditions. (i.e. tire pressure, vehicle loading, road condi-tions and posted speed lim- its)
Maximum Load
WA R N I N GOverloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading cancause tire failure, affect vehi- cle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Usetires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.

e Multipurpose Grease
NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding partsof the hood latch and release lever. Work the grease into the hood lock mechanism until all the movable surfaces are covered.Also, put a light coat
of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

The ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, hood, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win- ter so that you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweepingsnow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side a
nd rear window are also
useful.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusi
ble link, see a certified
i-MiEV dealer for in
spection and replace-
ment. For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuseload capacities” on page 9-19.
N00942800885 N00901000107
To prevent damage to the electrical system from short-circuiting
or overloading, each

N00942900336
Before replacing a bulb,
be sure the light is
off. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
N00943000099
The bulb should only be replaced with a newbulb with the same rating and type. The typeand rating are listed on the base of the bulb.
N00950301916
 If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical systemchecked by a certified i-
MiEV dealer to find
and correct the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off. When replacing a bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before t
ouching it. You could
otherwise be burned.NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be ca
rried out by
a certified
i-MiEV dealer.  Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.CAUTION
 When it rains, or wh
en the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimesbecomes temporarily foggy. This is the samephenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a func- tional problem.When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water collects inside the light, please
have it checked by a
certified i-MiEV dealer.
