15. Check and adjust the tire pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If you overinflate the tire,
release air by loosening the hose’s end fit-
ting.
If there is a gap between the tire and
wheel because the tire has moved inward
from 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.)
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the 12 V
power outlet.
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (T) to
the three-diamond mark on the steering
wheel.
WARNING
 Do not place your hand or fingers between
the tire and wheel while inflating the tire.
Your hand or fingers may become caught
between the tire and wheel.
CAUTION
 The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of your vehicle tires.
 The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it to
any other power source.
 The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.
 Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do
not place the compressor directly on any
sandy or dusty surface when using it.
 Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
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 the
compressor, 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 position
and 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 minutes, the tire may be
so severely damaged that the tire sealant can-
not be used to effect the emergency repair.
Do not drive the vehicle. Please contact a
certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
 At this point the puncture hole is not sealed
yet. Air will leak through the puncture hole
until the emergency repair procedure is com-
pleted (through step 19 or step 20 of these
instructions).
CAUTION
 Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the
specified position on the pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect
position could prevent the SRS airbag from
deploying properly.
