Tire pressure monitoring system 5-32 Features and controls
5
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tirefailure. Under-inflation also re
duces alternative fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affectthe vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TP
MS is not a substitute
for proper tire mainte
nance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to tri
gger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthe system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one min-
ute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction
exists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function- ing properly. Always check the TPMS mal- function telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheelsallow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.

1. If the low tire pressure monitoring system warning light illumi
nates, avoid hard
braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjustthe tires to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-10.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light remains illuminated afteryou have been driving for about 20 min- utes after you adjust the tire inflation pres- sure, one or more of
the tires may have a
puncture. Inspect the tire and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by a certified i- MiEV dealer as soon as possible.
If the warning light illuminates while driving
NOTE
When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, to avoid breakage, do not apply exces-sive force to the valve stem. After inspecting or adju
sting the tire pres-
sure, always reinstall the valve cap on the valve stem. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture couldget into the valve, resulting in damage to the tire inflation pressure sensor. Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sen-
sors. Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes of driving.
WA R N I N G If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illumi
nates while you are
driving, avoid hard br
aking, sharp steer-
ing maneuvers and high speeds. Drivingwith an under-inflated tire adversely affects vehicle performance and can result in an accident.CAUTION The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may not illuminate
immediately in the
event of a tire blowout or rapid leak.NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire infla- tion pressure sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by a cert
ified i-MiEV dealer. If
the tire repair is not done by a certified i- MiEV dealer, it is not
covered by your war-
ranty.

The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances: A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is near the vehicle. Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the wheels. The tire inflation pre
ssure sensors’ battery
is exhausted. Wheels other than Mitsubishi Motors gen- uine wheels are being used. Wheels that are not fitted with tire infla- tion pressure sensors are being used. Wheels whose ID codes are not memo- rized by the vehicle are used. A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
N00532900182
If you use new wheels with new tire inflationpressure sensors, their ID codes must be pro- grammed into the tire pressure monitoring system. Have tire and
wheel replacement per-
formed by a certified i-MiEV dealer to avoid the risk of damaging the tire inflation pres- sure sensors.

Your tire pressure monitoring system oper- ates on a radio frequenc
y subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules(For vehicles sold in
U.S.A.) and Industry
Canada Rules (For vehicles sold in Canada). This device complies wi
th Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and RSS- Gen of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two con- ditions. This device may not
cause harmful inter-
ference. This device must ac
cept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire. Such a spray could damage thetire inflation pressure sensors. Using the tire repair kit may damage the tire inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle mustpromptly be inspected and repaired by a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer after using the tire repair kit.NOTE
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected tolarge variations in ambient temperature, thetire inflation pressures may be under-inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. Ifthe warning light comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with new ones
CAUTION The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors, resulting air
leakage or damage of
the sensors.

Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still
keeping good visibil-
ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accele
rator, and controls.
Check the instrument panel indicators forany possible problem. Move the front passe
nger seat as far back
as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecti
ng the defroster mode,
and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-9.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns.
Look for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires for proper pressures. Replace your tires beforethey are heavily worn out.
As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, th
erefore, be performed
only by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and
high-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for wa
ter, oil, or other
leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are cor- rect.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that youcan avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:
Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
Always obey applicable
laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.

Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and may cause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion. Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
