The indicators should illuminate when the
electric motor switch is turned to the “ON”
position, and should turn off after a few sec-
onds.
If the indicator stays on or does not illuminate
when the electric motor switch is turned to
the “ON” position, have the vehicle inspected
by a certified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possi-
ble.

The tire pressure monitoring system uses tire
inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels
to monitor the tire inflation pressures. The
system only indicates when a tire is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
 If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch
after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken
operation protection function” will activate
and the ASC will turn back on.

CAUTION
 When indicator blinks, the ASC is oper-
ating, which means that the road is slippery
or that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning
to slip. If this happens, drive slower.
NOTE
CAUTION
 If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the and indicators
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:
• Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the electric motor unit. Restart the electric
motor unit again and check whether the
and indicators go out. If these indicators
go out, there is no abnormal condition.
If the and indicators remain on even
after your vehicle is driven a short distance
after re-starting the electric motor unit,
have the vehicle inspected by a certified i-
MiEV dealer as soon as possible.
 When towing the vehicle with only the rear
wheels raised off the ground, do not place
the electric motor switch in the “ON” posi-
tion. Placing the electric motor switch in the
“ON” position could cause the ASC to oper-
ate, resulting in an accident.
For details, refer to “Towing” on page 8-12.

Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures
as described in “Tires” on page 9-10.
