With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating pos
itions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) mode to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This means that when you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint installation function when you install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the child restraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.

WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, always make sure theretractor has been switched to the ALRchild restraint instal
lation function. The
ALR function will keep the child restraint system tightly secured to the seat.Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the child restraint system to move forward duringsudden braking
or an accide
nt, resulting
in serious injury or
death to the child or

2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system acco
rding to the instruc-
tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem manufacturer. Then insert the seat belt latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure
you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slowly pull the shoulderpart of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbingcan be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near thebuckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to feed into the retractor. Remember,if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system
will not be secure. It may
help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (see illustration). 6. Open the cover from the tether anchor installation point by
pulling it back with
your hand as illustrated below (6).
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.

Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/
or the lap belt crosses
their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used, to raise the child sothat the shoulder belt
crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat should fitthe vehicle seat and ha
ve a label certifying
compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Mo
tor Vehicle Restraint
Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.

The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in theshade. Do not allow them to retract until com- pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re- dye the belts. The color may rub off and thewebbing strength may be affected. Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mechanisms for positive engage- ment and release of the latch plate. Check the

Children who have outgrown child restraint systems
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt
must be properly
restrained in an appropriate childrestraint system, to reduce their risk of serious injury or de
ath in an
accident.
A child should never be
left unattended in,
or unsupervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle always take
the child out as well. Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped inside the vehicle, especially on hot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from chil- dren.

retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec- tion of the webbing from broken fibers, orsevere fading from sunlig
ht. All of these con-
ditions indicate a weakening of the belt, which may adversely affe
ct seat belt perfor-
mance in an accident.
N00407701775
This vehicle is equippe
d with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-bags for the driver and passengers. The SRS front airbags are designed to supple- ment the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat
belt systems by provid-
ing those occupants w
ith protection against
head and chest injuries
in certain moderate to
severe frontal
collisions.
The SRS front airbags, together with sensors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors
attached to the front seats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supp
lement the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with pr
otection against chest,
abdomen and hip injuries by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS cur-tain airbags provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear seat with protection against head injuries by deploying a bag onthe side impacted in m
oderate to severe side
impact collisions. The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection inall types of accident
s, seat belts must
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle
(with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys- tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Re
fer to “Child restraint
systems” on page 4-13.
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This workshould be done by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Failure to have a certified i-MiEV dealer perform the work could reduce theeffectiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or
death in an accident.
Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem (SRS) - airbag
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLYEVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. Thisreduces the risk of injury in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the
airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a col- lision, an unrestra
ined or
improperly
restrained driver or passengers can moveforward into direct contact with, or within close proximi
ty to, the airbag
when it begins to inflate.The beginning stage of
airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes incontact with the airbag at this time. • Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrollovers, rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions, because the airbags are not de
signed to inflate in
those situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can beseriously injured or killed.

Door locks
WA R N I N GMake sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in
an accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help
prevent outsiders
from gaining access to your vehicle when you slow down or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In addition
to the risk of heat
stroke, children can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatalaccident.
