SRS warning light
N00408300566
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light
on the instrument panel. The system checks itself each time the
electric motor switch is turned on. When the electric motor
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position, the SRS warning
light should come on for several seconds and then go out. This
means the system is working properly. If there is a problem
involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning
light will come on and stay on. The SRS warning light is
shared by the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and the
seat belt pre-tensioner system.

!If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS
and/or seat belt pre-tensioners are not working
properly and you should immediately have it
inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer:
• The SRS warning light does not come on when the
electric motor key is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while driving.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
N00407900321
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove compart-
ment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are
designed to deploy at the same time. However, the front pas-
senger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat
is not occupied or when the system senses that a child is in the
child restraint system.

!Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s pad-
ded cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. These
could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag
inflates. Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove compartment.
Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the
airbag inflates.
WA R N I N G
!Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of,
the windshield. They could restrict the airbag infla-
tion, or strike and injure an occupant, when the
airbag inflates. Do not attempt to remove, install, disassemble or
repair the SRS airbags.Do not place objects, such as packages or pets,
between the airbags and the driver or the front pas-
senger. Such objects can adversely affect airbag per-
formance, or cause serious injury or death when the
airbag deploys.Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the
airbag system will be hot. Do not touch them. You
could be burned. The airbag system is designed to work only once.
After the airbags deploy, they will not work again.
They must promptly be replaced and the entire
airbag system must be inspected by a certified i-
MiEV dealer.
