The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-18.
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 system warning light
N00554800136
When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position,
this light normally illuminates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires is significantly 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 3-52 and take the necessary measures.
CAUTION
!
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the electric motor switch is
turned to the “ON” position, it means that the tire
pressure monitoring 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 pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
