As your vehicle has anti-lock brakesIf you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge, after the
electric motor unit has been started by using jumper cables, it
can cause the anti-lock braking system warning light to illumi-
nate. This is only due to the low battery voltage. It is not a
problem with the brake system. If this happens, fully charge the
12V starter battery and ensure the charging system is operating
properly.
Tire repair kit
N00836600366
This vehicle is equipped with a tire repair kit which can be
used to repair a minor puncture in tread area caused by a nail,
screw or similar object. A spare tire is not provided with this
vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!
The tire repair kit may not permanently seal a punc-
tured tire.
Using the tire repair kit may damage the wheel
and/or the tire inflation pressure sensor for the tire.
The vehicle must promptly be inspected and
repaired by a certified i-MiEV dealer after using the
tire repair kit.
Use only the Mitsubishi genuine tire repair kit. Seal-
ant in other repair kits may not sufficiently seal the
tire puncture.

How to use the tire repair kit
N00800200026
WA R N I N G
!
Never use the tire repair kit under in any of the situ-
ations listed below. The tire cannot be repaired by
the tire repair kit. If any of these situations occurs,
please contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
• More than one tire is punctured.
• The puncture hole has a length or width of 1/7 inch
(4 mm) or greater.
• The tire is punctured in the side wall (A), not in the
tread (B).
• The vehicle has been driven with the tire almost
completely flat.
• The tire has completely slipped over the wheel rim
and come off the wheel.
• The wheel is damaged.
• A bump, cut or crack is on the tire.
• The tire sealant’s expiration date has passed. (The
expiration date is shown on the bottle label (C).)
• Ambient temperature is below -22 °F (-30 °C) or
above 140 °F (60 °C).
WA R N I N G
!
The tire sealant can cause health damage if swal-
lowed. If you accidentally swallow it, drink as much
water as possible and immediately seek medical
attention.
If the tire sealant gets in your eyes or on your skin,
rinse it away with lots of water. If you still sense an
abnormality, seek medical attention.
Consult a doctor immediately if any allergic reac-
tions occur.
Do not allow children to touch the tire sealant.

13. Pull out the compressor hose (M) from the side of the tire
compressor, and then securely attach the hose to the tire
valve (H).14. Place the compressor (N) with its air pressure gauge (O)
on top.
Pull out the compressor’s power cord (P), insert the plug
on the cord into the 12 V power outlet (Q), and then turn
the electric motor switch to the “ACC” position.
Turn ON the compressor switch (R) and inflate the tire to
the specified pressure. (Refer to “Tire inflation pressures”
on page 7-21.)
If there is a gap between the tire and wheel, push the tread
area toward the center of the wheel to close the gap before
running the compressor.

15. Check and adjust the tire pressure with reference to the air
pressure gauge on the compressor. If you overinflate the
tire, release air by loosening the hose’s end fitting. (Refer
to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-21.)
If there is a gap between the tire and wheel because the
tire has moved inward from the wheel rim, press the tire
tread towards the wheel to close the gap before running
the compressor. (With no gaps, the tire pressure will rise.)NOTE
If the tire pressure does not rise to the specified level
within 10 minutes, the tire may be so severely damaged
that the tire sealant cannot be used to effect the emergency
repair. Do not drive the vehicle. Please contact a certified
i-MiEV dealer.
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 fin-
gers may become caught between the tire and wheel.
CAUTION
!
The supplied compressor is designed only for infla-
tion of your vehicle tires.
The compressor is designed to run on a vehicle’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. Do not place the
compressor directly on any sandy or dusty surface
when using it.
Do not disassemble or modify the compressor. 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 continuously for 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. Immediately place the
switch in the OFF position and let the compressor
cool down for at least 30 minutes.

16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then pull the power cord
plug out of the 12 V power outlet.NOTE
At this point the puncture hole is not sealed yet. Air will
leak through the puncture hole until the emergency repair
procedure is completed (through step 19 of these instruc-
tions).17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to the three-dia-
mond mark on the steering wheel. Then immediately
drive with great care to a certified i-MiEV dealer and have
tire repair/replacement performed.
CAUTION
!
Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the speci-
fied position on the pad of the steering wheel. Affix-
ing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent
the SRS airbag from deploying properly.
