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.
N00533000207
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.
General information
CAUTION Changes or modifica
tions not expressly
approved by the manufacturer for compli- ance could void the user
’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.

Rotate the switch to operate the lights.
Power down warning light
If this warning light illumi-nates, the power provided by the electric motor will be reduced and the vehicle willbe only able to move at low speeds. This warning light will illu-minate;  When the energy level in the main drive lithium-ion battery is near empty.  When temperature of the electric motor unit or the main drive lithium-ion battery is too high or toolow.  When voltage of the main drive lithium-ion batterybecomes low.
If the energy level gauge shows 0 bar, the main drivelithium-ion battery is near empty and must be charged as soon as possible. Refer to“Charging” on page 3-13.
NOTE
 When the power down warning light illumi- nates, avoid rapid st
arts and aggressive
acceleration.  Illumination of the
power down warning

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
