The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
reduce 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 mainte-
nance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL”.NOTEOperation in certain conditions such as driving 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 air filter.
Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assistance.

switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.NOTETo listen to the audio system while the electric motor unit
is not running, turn the electric motor switch to the

If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create

anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far away as possi-
ble from the audio equipment.
If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at a certified
i-MiEV dealer. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using
the audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.
If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked at a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
