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

When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position, this light normally illumi- nates and goes off a
few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires is signifi-cantly under-inflated, ho
wever, this light will
remain illuminated while the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position.Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on page 5-32 and take the nec- essary measures.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire in
flation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicate
d on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety fe
ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of yourtires is significan
tly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you s
hould stop and check
your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure.
 The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the illustrated location. Replacegrommet (B) with a new one when the tire isreplaced. For details, please c
ontact a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
Tire pressure monitoring sys- tem warning light
NOTE
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illuminate when the elec-tric motor switch is turned to the “ON”
the tire pressure moni-
toring system is not working properly. Have the system inspected by a certified i-MiEVdealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system warn
ing light will blink
for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. The warning light will issue further warnings each time theelectric motor unit is re
started as long as the
malfunction exists. Check to see whether
the warning light goes
off after few minutes of driving. If it then goes off during driving, there is no problem.However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it blinks again when the electric motor unit is restarte
d, have the vehicle
inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp turning andhigh-speed driving.

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.
