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, however, 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 and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should 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. Replace
grommet (B) with a new one when the tire is
replaced.
For details, please contact 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”
position, it means that the tire pressure moni-
toring system is not working properly. Have
the system inspected by a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the 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 warning light will blink
for approximately 1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. The warning light
will issue further warnings each time the
electric motor unit is restarted 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 restarted, have the vehicle
inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tire pressure. For safety reasons, when
the warning light appears while driving,
avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
