NOTE
The shape of the mat and the number of retaining clips may
vary depending on the
vehicle model.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distances resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the reta
ining clip on the
driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second
mat over or under
an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle even if it is aMitsubishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean- ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein- stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with theelectric motor unit off, check that thefloor mat is not interfering with the ped- als by depressing the pedals fully.

11. Holding the sealant bottle upside-down,
squeeze it again and again to inject all ofthe sealant into the tire.
12. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose
off the valve, remove any residual sealant from the valve, rim and/or tire. Fit the valve insert (K) into the valve (I),and screw the valve insert securely into place using the valve remover (J).
13. Pull out the compre
ssor hose (N) from the
side of the tire compressor, and thensecurely attach the hose to the tire valve (I).
14. Place the compressor (O) with its air pres-
sure gauge (P) on top.Pull out the compressor’s power cord (Q), insert the plug on the cord into the 12 V power outlet (R), and then turn the elec-tric motor switch to the “ACC” position. (Refer to “12V power outlet” on page 5-51.)Turn ON the compressor switch (S) and inflate the tire to the specified pressure. (Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-13.) If there is a gap between the tire andwheel, push the tread area toward the cen- ter of the wheel to close the gap before running the compressor.

18. When you have inflated the tire to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,bottle, and other item
s in the vehicle and
make sure that the seat cushion is properly secured. (Refer to “Tire repair kit storage”on page 8-5.) Promptly start driving the vehicle so that the tire sealant can spread evenly in the tire. Drive with great care.Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Observe local speed limits.
19. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km), park the vehicle in safe place.Remove the air compressor from the stowed position. Check the tire pressure using the air pressure gauge on the com-pressor. If the tire pressure has apparently not dropped, the emergency repair proce- dure is complete. Continue the processfrom step 21. If the tire pressure is not sufficient, inflate the tire to the specified pressure again and drive the vehicle carefully without exceeding a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).Before driving, stow
the compressor and
make sure that the rear seat cushion is properly secured.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km) again, check the tire pressure usingthe air pressure gauge on the compressor. If the tire pressure has apparently not dropped, the emergency repair procedureis complete. Before driving, make sure that the compressor is stowed and the seat cushion is properly secured. You muststill not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Observe local speed limits.
CAUTION If you sense any abnormality while driving, stop the vehicle and c
ontact a certified i-
MiEV dealer. Otherwise the tire pressure may drop before the em
ergency repair proce-
dure is completed,
rendering the vehicle
unsafe to drive.
CAUTION If the tire pressure is lower than the mini- mum permitted pressure
(18 psi {130 kPa}),
the tire cannot successful
ly be repaired with
the tire sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
If the tire pressure has dropped below the specified level when you check it at the endof the repair procedure, do not drive the vehicle any further.
Contact a certified i-
MiEV dealer. In cold conditions (when the ambient tem- perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), the timeand driving distance
necessary unt
il comple-
tion of the repair can become longer than in warmer conditions, and th
e tire pressure may
drop below the specified level even after you have inflated the tire
the second time and
subsequently driven the
vehicle. If this hap-
pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressure once more, drive for about 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire pressureagain. If the tire pressure has again dropped below the specified level, stop driving the vehicle and contact a certified i-MiEVdealer.

If a wheel gets stuck in
a ditch, do not try to
tow the vehicle. Please contact a certifie
d i-MiEV dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for assistance.There may be local re
gulations concerning
towing in your area. Obey the regulations in the area where you are driving your vehicle.
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position. Turn the electric motorswitch to the “ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a st
raight-ahead position
with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place theelectric motor switch in the “LOCK” or “ON” position when towing.
N00837200747
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.Do not spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can cause transmission failure.If your vehicle is still
stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truck service.
Never tow another ve
hicle using your i-
MiEV
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
WA R N I N G Never get under your vehicle after it has been lifted by a tow truck. Never ride in a vehicl
e that is being towed.
CAUTION
Towing with rear wheels off the ground
CAUTION If the transmission or the steering system has a problem or damage,
transport the vehicle
on a flatbed truck or to
w the vehicle with the
all wheels off the ground. If the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position, the Active St
ability Control (ASC)
system may operate, resu
lting in an accident.
Make sure the electric motor switch is in the “ACC” position before towing.
Operation under adverse driving conditions If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow
WA R N I N G When trying to rock
your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking motion canmake your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and inju
