When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position, this light normally illumi- nates and goes off a
few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires is signifi-cantly under-inflated, ho
wever, this light will
remain illuminated while the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position.Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on page 5-32 and take the nec- essary measures.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire in
flation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicate
d on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety fe
ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of yourtires is significan
tly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you s
hould stop and check
your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure.
The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the illustrated location. Replacegrommet (B) with a new one when the tire isreplaced. For details, please c
ontact a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
Tire pressure monitoring sys- tem warning light
NOTE
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illuminate when the elec-tric motor switch is turned to the “ON”
the tire pressure moni-
toring system is not working properly. Have the system inspected by a certified i-MiEVdealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system warn
ing light will blink
for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. The warning light will issue further warnings each time theelectric motor unit is re
started as long as the
malfunction exists. Check to see whether
the warning light goes
off after few minutes of driving. If it then goes off during driving, there is no problem.However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it blinks again when the electric motor unit is restarte
d, have the vehicle
inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp turning andhigh-speed driving.
