Brake hoses and tubing should be checked
for:
Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn
spots. If the fabric casing of the hose is
showing through any cracks or worn spots
in the rubber hose cover, the hose should
be replaced. The brakes can fail if the
hose wears through.
Improper installation may cause twisting,
or wheel, tire or chassis interference.

The hood lock release mechanism and hood
safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to
stop rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease
NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding parts
of the hood latch and release lever. Work the
grease into the hood lock mechanism until all
the movable surfaces are covered.
Also, put a light coat of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavy
snowfall so that the operation of the heating
and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, hood, etc., they should be
treated with silicone grease.
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-
handled spade in the vehicle during the win-
ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side and rear window are also
useful.

In case of a melted fusible link, see a certified
i-MiEV dealer for inspection and replace-
ment.
