Tire repair kit 8-10 For emergencies
8
If there is a gap between the tire and wheel because the tire has moved inwardfrom 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.) pull the power cord plug out of the 12 V power outlet.
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to
the three-diamond mark on the steering wheel.
18. When you have inflated the tire to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,bottle, and other items
in the vehicle and
make sure that the seat cushion is properly secured. (Refer to “Tire repair kit storage” 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 vehi
cle 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 anddrive the vehicle carefully without exceeding a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
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 thecompressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again. If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while operating, it is
overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF positionand let the compressor cool down for at least 30 minutes.NOTE
 If the tire pressure does not rise to the speci- fied level within 10 mi
nutes, the tire may be
so severely damaged that the tire sealant can- not be used to effect the emergency repair. Do not drive the vehicl
e. Please contact a
certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
 At this point the punctu
re hole is
not sealed
yet. Air will leak through the puncture holeuntil the emergency repa
ir procedure is com-
pleted (through step 19 or step 20 of these instructions).CAUTION Do not affix the sticke
r anywhere except the
specified position on th
e pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent the SRS airbag fromdeploying properly.
CAUTION If you sense any abnorma
lity while driving,
stop the vehicle and c
ontact a certified i-
MiEV dealer. Otherwise the tire pressure may drop before the emergency repair proce- dure is completed,
rendering the vehicle
unsafe to drive.

Before driving, stow the compressor and make sure that the rear seat cushion isproperly 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.
21. Immediately drive with great care to a

If you need to tow your
vehicle, contact a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer or a commercial towtruck service. Transport the vehicle on a flatbed truck or tow the vehicle either with all wheels or the rear wheels (drive wheels) off the ground.
CAUTION If the tire pressure is lower than the mini- mum permitted pressure (18 psi {130 kPa}), the tire cannot successf
ully be repaired with
the tire sealant. Do not drive the vehicle anyfurther. Contact a cert
ified 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 ne
cessary until comple-
tion of the repair can
become longer than in
warmer conditions, and the tire pressure may drop below the specified level even after youhave inflated the tire the second time and subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap- pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressureonce more, drive for about 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire pressure again. If the tire pressure has again droppedbelow the specified level, stop driving the vehicle and contact
a certified i-MiEV
dealer.NOTE
 Please give the empty
sealant bottle to a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer or
dispose of the sealant
bottle according to re
gulations for the dis-
posal of chemical waste.NOTE

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 tofree it. Do not spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can cause transmissionfailure. If your vehicle is still
stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truckservice.
 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to the section entitled “Snow tires” on page 9-15 and “Tire chains” on page 9-16.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the brakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking. If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off the pedal. Steer gently in the direction of theskid.  Your vehicle is equippe
d with an anti-lock
braking system (ABS), hold the brakepedal down firmly and
keep it depressed.
Do not pump the brake pedal which will result in reduced braking performance.
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”
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 nopeople nearby. The
rocking motion can
make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and inju
re any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTIONDo not drive on a flooded road. If you drive on a flooded road, not only the electric motorunit stops but also a fail
ure like electric leak-
age or short circuit may occur. If you inevitably had to run on a floodedroad and the vehicle was exposed to water, be sure to have your vehicle inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightlyseveral times while driv
ing to dry the brake
pads or linings, then check them again.  When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface (aquaplaning). This l
oosens your tires’ grip
on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.
• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
