15. Check and adjust the tire pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on thecompressor. If you overinflate the tire, release air by loosening the hose’s end fit- ting.If there is a gap between the tire and wheel because the ti
re has moved inward
from the wheel rim, press the tire treadtowards the wheel to close the gap before running the compressor. (With no gaps, the tire pressure will rise.)
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the 12 Vpower outlet.
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (T) to
the three-diamond mark on the steering wheel.
WA R N I N G Do not place your hand or fingers between the tire and wheel while inflating the tire.Your hand or fingers may become caughtbetween the tire and wheel.CAUTION The supplied compressor is designed only for inflation of your vehicle tires. The compressor is designed to run on a vehi- cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it to any other power source. The compressor is not waterproof. If you use it in rain, make sure
water does not get on it.
Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor could make the compressor break down. Donot place the compressor directly on any sandy or dusty surface when using it. Do not disassemble or modify the compres- sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
CAUTION The surface of the compressor will get hot while the compressor is running. Do not keep the compressor running continuouslyfor more than 10 minutes. After using the compressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again. If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while operating, it is
overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF position and let the compressor c
ool down for at least
30 minutes.NOTE
 If the tire pressure does not rise to the speci- fied level within 10 minutes, the tire may beso severely damaged that
the tire sealant can-
not be used to effect
the emergency repair.
Do not drive the vehicl
e. Please contact a
certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
 At this point the puncture hole is not sealed yet. Air will leak
through the puncture hole
until the emergency repa
ir procedure is com-
pleted (through step 19 or step 20 of theseinstructions).CAUTION Do not affix the sticke
r anywhere except the
specified position on th
e pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent the SRS airbag fromdeploying properly.

stop rust and wear. Us
e Multipurpose Grease

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

i-MiEV dealer for in
spection and replace-
ment. For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuseload capacities” on page 9-19.
