● To avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by a certified i-
MiEV dealer. If the tire repair is not done by a certified i-
MiEV dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
● Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
● Using the tire repair kit may damage the tire inflation
pressure sensor. The vehicle must promptly be inspected
and repaired by a certified i-MiEV dealer after using the
tire repair kit.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:
● 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 pressure sensors’ battery is exhausted.
● Wheels other than Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels are
being used.
● Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.
● Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.
● A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.

● Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the
ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light
comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
WARNING
!
● If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
illuminates while you are driving, avoid hard brak-
ing, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects
vehicle performance and can result in an accident.
CAUTION
!
● The tire pressure monitoring system warning light
may not illuminate immediately in the event of a tire
blowout or rapid leak.
