weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts and maintains the air condi-tioning in the best operating condition.
N00733800177
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to reduc
e 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 maintenanceinterval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
N00766600016
You can run the air conditioning in advance of using the vehicle. For details, refer to“Remote Climate Control” on page 3-43.
N00734302128
The audio system can only be used when the electric motor switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo- sphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. However, it may contribute slightly toglobal warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.
During a long period of disuse
Air purifier
NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing 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 airfilter. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assis- tance.

NOTE
 To listen to the audio system while the elec- tric motor unit is not running, turn the elec- tric motor switch to the “ACC” position. If the electric motor switch is in the “ACC”position, the accessory power will automati- cally turn off after a certain period of time and you will no longer be able to use theaudio system. The accessory power comes on again if the electric motor switch is turned from the “ACC” position. Refer to “ACCpower auto-cutout f
unction” on page 5-19.
 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 possible from the audio equipment.  If foreign objects or wa
ter get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately turn off theaudio system and have
it checked at a certi-
fied i-MiEV dealer. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the audio system untilit is inspected by a qualified person.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on a specified government test course
. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differ- ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under contro
lled conditions on
specified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the ti
re’s resistance to the
generation of heat and it
s ability to dissipate
heat when tested u
nder controlled conditions
on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corre-sponds to a level of
performance which all
passenger car tires must
meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
