It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehiclehas been parked for
at least three hours,
or • The measured pressure when the vehicleis driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
 Maximum inflation pressure: the maxi- mum permissible cold
tire inflation pres-
sure for this tire.  Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor- mance.
WA R N I N G Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging orworking with the 12V starter battery.  Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working wi
th the 12V starter
battery, or have a sk
illed automobile tech-
nician do it.  If you are quick-charging your 12V starter battery, first disconnect the 12V starter battery cables.  In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, and reconnect it last. If the electrolyte level
is very low, have the
12V starter battery checked at a certified i-MiEV dealer. 12V starter battery te
rminals and related
accessories contain
lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling. CAUTION When replacing the
12V starter battery,
remove the connected
positive (+) and nega-
tive (-) terminals after turning the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position andwaiting at least 1 minut
e. If the 12V starter
battery terminal is removed just after the electric motor switch is turned to the “LOCK” position, this
may cause damage to
components of the electric motor unit.
NOTE
 Before cleaning the 12V starter battery, tighten all the filler port
caps to keep dirt and
moisture out.  Check each 12V starter battery terminal for corrosion. If necessary, clean the terminalswith a solution of baking soda and water. Grease the posts and cl
amps after cleaning or
tightening them.  Check to see that the 12V starter battery is securely installed and
cannot be moved. Also
check each terminal for tightness.  If you will not be driv
ing your vehicle for a
long period of time, re
move the 12V starter
battery and store it in a place where the 12V starter battery fluid wi
ll not freeze. Memory
data for settings made by the user may be erased when the 12V starter battery is removed. If this happens, reset the settingsagain using the releva
nt procedures. The
12V starter battery
only should be stored
with a full charge.
Tires
WA R N I N G Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated is dangerous.These type tire conditions will adversely affect vehicle performance. These type tire conditions can also cause atread separation or blowout which may result in an accide
nt causing serious
injury or death. Tires degrade over ti
me with age even
when they are not being used. It is recom-mended that tires ove
r 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.

with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.  The genuine leather su
rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush.  Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, acid or alkaline solventscan discolor the genuine leather surface and should not be used.  The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlight for long hours. When your vehicle is parked,place it in the shade as much as possible.

WA R N I N G Do not wash the vehicle while charging the main drive lithium-ion battery. Doing so could cause a
fire or an
electric
shock. Before washing the vehicle, make sure that the charging lid and the inner lid arecompletely closed. If the lid is open, the charging unit is exposed to water, resulting in a fire or anelectric shock. Do not pour water inside the electric motor unit room. Doing so could cause a fire or an electric shock.CAUTION When washing the vehicle, turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position. Do not use a high pressure washing machine to clean the underneath of the vehicle.
