The indicator normally comes on when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out a
few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger’s front air- bag is not operational.  The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.  The system senses that a child is in the child restraint system on the front passen-ger’s seat.
When the passenger’s seat occupant classifi- cation sensor system senses there is a person seated in the front passenger’s seat, the indi-cator goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.

There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light on
the instrument panel.
The system checks itself every time the elec- tric motor switch is turned on. The SRS warn- ing light will come on
for several seconds and
then go out. This is normal and means the system is working properly. If there is a prob-
lem involving one or more of the SRS com- ponents, the warning light will come on andstay on. The SRS warning light is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.
WA R N I N G If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediat
ely have the airbag
system in your vehicle inspected by a cer-tified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible:• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on when an adult is sitting on the front passenger seat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the front passenger’s seat is not occupied.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the electric motorswitch is turned to the “ON” position.• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on and goes out repeatedly.
 Do not attach any ac
cessory to your vehi-
cle that makes the passenger’s airbag off indicator difficult or impossible to see. You must be able to see the passenger’sairbag off indicator and verify the status of the passenger’s airbag system.

Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring
a long break-in period
of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the followi
ng precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Do not overload the ve
hicle. Observe the
seating capacity (See “Cargo load precau-tions” on page 6-10).  Do not use this vehi
cle for trailer towing.

The electronic immobilize
r is designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-bilize the vehicle if
an invalid start is
attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions), using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
Break-in recommendations Keys
NOTE
 The key number (A) is stamped on the key number plate as shown
in the illustration.
Make a record of th
e key number and store
the key and key number plate in separate places, so that you can order a key from acertified i-MiEV dealer if the original keys are lost.  The key is a precision
electronic device with
a built-in signal transm
itter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent damage. • Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by direct sunlight, such as ontop of the dashboard. • Do not take the remote
control transmitter
apart. • Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong impacts. • Keep the remote control transmitter dry.• Keep away from magne
tic objects such as
key holders.
• Keep away from devi
ces that produce mag-
netism, such as audio systems, computersand televisions. • Do not clean with
ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity.
 As your vehicle is equipped with an elec- tronic immobilizer, the electric motor unit isdesigned so that it wi
ll not start if the ID
code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code
do not match. Refer to
the section entitled “E
lectronic immobilizer”
for details and key usage.
