Active stability control (ASC) Features and controls 5-29

N00559200089
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessively, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00546800049
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steeringmaneuvers. It works by controlling the elec- tric motor unit output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559401280
The ASC is automatically activated when theelectric motor switch is turned to the “ON”
vate the system by
pressing down the ASC OFF switch for 3 sec-onds or longer. When the ASC is deacti
vated, the indica-
tor will be illuminated. To reactivate the
ASC, momentarily
press the ASC OFF
switch; the indicator is turned off.
NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from under the hood in the fo
llowing situations.
The sound is associated
with checking the
operations of the ASC.
At this time, you may
feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion. • When the electric motor switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the electric motor unit is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from under the hood. This indicates that the system is operatingnormally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
CAUTION When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tires and drivethe vehicle at moderate speeds.
Skid control function
NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances. If you deactivate the ASC to move out of mud, sand or fresh snow
, be sure to reacti-
vate the ASC immediately when done. Do not deactivate
the ASC except when neces-
sary. If you depress the accelerator pedal exces- sively and the wheels continue spinning while the ASC is deactivated, the transmis- sion or other parts ma
y become damaged and
could cause an
accident.

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.
N00532800484
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.

N00522600506
When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the lever in the “lane change” posi- tion (1). It will return to the neutral positionwhen you let go. Use the full position (2) when making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral position when the turn iscomplete. There may be times when the lever does not return to th
e neutral position. This
usually happens when
the steering wheel is
turned only slightly. You
can easily return the
lever by hand. Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightlythen release it, the turn signal lights and indi- cator in the instrument cluster will flash three times.
N00522700305
If you press the flasher switch, the front andrear turn signals will flash intermittently, and so will the hazard warning lights. This is an emergency warning system and should not beused when the vehicle is in motion, except for emergencies. If you need to leave your
vehicle, the flashers
will keep working after the key is removed from the electric motor switch.
 If you turn the lights off with the headlights set to high-beam illumi
nation, the headlights
are automatically returned to their low-beamsetting when the combination headlights and dimmer switch is next turned to the “ ”
Turn signal lever
NOTE
NOTE
 A light in the instrument panel flashes to show when the front and rear turn signallights are working properly. If this light flashes fast
er than usual, check
for a burned out light
bulb or malfunctioning
connection. If the panel light does not come on when the lever is moved, check
for a blown fuse or a
burned out bulb in the panel. Have the vehicle insp
ected by a certified i-
MiEV dealer.  It is possible to modify functions as follows: • Deactivate the turn signal light 3-flash function for lane changes. • Adjust the time required to operate the lever for the 3-flash function. See a certified i-MiEV dealer for details.

NOTE
 If you keep the flashers on for a long period of time while the ready
indicator is not illu-
minated, the 12V starte
r battery could go flat
and the electric motor unit could be impossi- ble to start.
