Tire Pressure Monitoring System - Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2017 Owner's Manual

Tire pressure monitoring system

NOTE
 Using the ASC OFF switch turns off both the
skid control function and the traction control
function.
 When trying to move out of mud, sand or
fresh snow, even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed, the ASC may not allow the elec-
5
tric motor speed to increase enough to move
the vehicle out.
In such situations, deactivating the ASC may
make it easier to move your vehicle out.
Refer to "If your vehicle becomes stuck in
sand, mud or snow" on page 8-13.
 If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch
after the ASC has been turned off, the ASC
will automatically be reactivated to prevent
misoperation of the ASC OFF switch.

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.

ing.

deactivated.
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.

tem while driving, the
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

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 8-11.
