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.

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 inthe area where you are driving your vehicle.
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position. Turn the electric motor switch to the “ACC” position and secure thesteering wheel in a st
raight-ahead position
with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” or “ON”
WA R N I N G Never tow the vehicle with rear wheels (drive wheels) on th
e ground. This may
cause damage to the electric motors. Alsothis may cause a fire, if wiring in the elec- tric motor unit room becomes damaged.CAUTION Never tow the vehicl
e using a sling type
truck. Doing so will damage the bumper and/or body.Towing with all wheels on the ground Towing with front wheels off the ground

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.

Tires 9-14 Vehicle care and maintenance

Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then cause tire damage thatmay result in tire failure.  Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more power.  Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding
experience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too mu
ch pressure gives an
uncomfortable and ja
rring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond.Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The correct tire pressure for your vehicle is listed on the placard attached to the sill of thedriver’s door. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.)The recommended inflation pressures should be used for the tires listed below.
Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month.Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures change severely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed on the placard are always
“cold inflation pres-
sure”.Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving se
veral miles, your tire
inflation pressure may increase 14 to 41 KPA, 2 to 6 PSI from the cold inflation pressure.Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the specified cold pressure, or your tire pressure will be too low.You should also take the following safety pre- cautions:
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the sill of the driver’s door.)  Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed.  Drive at safe speeds.  After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on the valve stems.

Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION Avoid using different size tires and wheels from the ones listed, and avoid the combined use of different types
of tires and wheels.
Using different size or
type tires and wheels
may affect driving safety. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-6. Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as the specifie
d type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it
from being fitted cor-
rectly. Consult a certified i-MiEV dealer before
using wheels that you
have.
