Remote Climate Control
WA R N I N G The Remote Climate Control, even when set, cannot be relied upon to maintain safevehicle cabin temperatures while the vehi- cle is stopped or park
ed. Never leave chil-
dren or persons requiringsupervision/nursing unattended inside the vehicle. Temperature inside the vehicle could become extremely high or lowresulting in a risk of
heat stroke or hyper-
thermia that could result in death. In addition, children
can activate switches
and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident. While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, keep away from
the cooling fan
under the front hood,
since the cooling fan
may automatically operate even if the electric motor switch is in the “LOCK” position.NOTE
 The Remote Climate Control works regard- less the position of the air conditioningswitch or dial on the vehicle. While the Remote Climate Control is activated, the air conditioning switch or di
al on the vehicle
will not affect operation
of the cooler, heater
or defroster.
 The Remote Climate Control will automati- cally stop 30 minutes after the Remote Cli-mate Control has been set.  The Remote Climate Control is operated by electric power s
upplied through the EV
charging cable (regular charger).  Under the following c
onditions, the effect of
the Remote Climate Control can be decreased. • When the outside temperature is very high. • When the sunlight is strong.• When the outside temperature is very low.  When Remote Climate Control is activated while charging the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery, the time required to fully charge theMain Drive Lithium-ion Battery will become longer or the amount of charge may decrease if the OFF timer has been set.  If the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Warming System is operated while theRemote Climate Control is activated, the Remote Climate Control will stop. When the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery WarmingSystem stops, the Remote Climate Control will resume. Refer to “Main Drive Lithium- ion Battery Warming System” on page 3-20.  While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, if a heated seat switch is ON, theheated seat will operate.NOTE
To operate the Remote Climate Control
WA R N I N G Improper charging can result in a fire, property damage, and serious injury ordeath. Carefully read and fo
llow instructions in
“Precaution during Charging the MainDrive Lithium-ion Battery” on page 3-14 and “Regular chargi
ng (charging method
with rated AC 120 V ou

Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of cras
hes. For added protec-
tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemen
tal Restraint System
(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks are also safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraintsystems in the rear seat.  That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

reduce the risk of injury to the driver and pas-senger in the event of an accident. Always use the provided seat belts. Carefully review the
following information
for proper seat belt usage.
N00406200457
All seats are equipped with a seat belt whichuses one combined lap-
and-shoulder belt with
an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation.
A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the
Seat belts
WA R N I N G To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident, se
at belts and child
restraint systems must always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-13 for additional information. Never use one seat belt
for more than one
person.  Never carry more peop
le in you
r vehicle
than there are seat belts.  Always adjust the seat
belt for a snug fit.
Always place the shou
lder belt over your
shoulder and across
your chest. Never put
it behind you or
under your arm.
Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across your hips, not around your waist. Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle. To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death durin
g deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi-tion that still enables
you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to a front seat passen- ger of serious injury or death from adeploying airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back andupright in their seat,
and moves the seat as
far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” onpage 4-21 for additional information. Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap
when riding in this vehicle
even when you are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of the seat belt youare wearing around an
infant or child.

t of an accident or
sudden stop.WA R N I N G
 Children 12 years ol
d and under should
always ride in the re
ar seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk ofserious injury or de
ath in an accident,
especially due to a deploying front passen- ger airbag. Refer to
“Child restraint sys-
tems” on page 4-
13 for additional
information. Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt
must be properly
restrained in an appropriate childrestraint system. Infants MUST be plac
ed in a rear-facing
child safety seat and
positioned in the rear
seat. In the event of an ac
cident, all seat belt
assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby a certified i-MiEV dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt equippe
d with a pre-tensioner
system. The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys- tem. In moderate-to-seve
re front or side colli-
sions, this system ope
rates simultaneously
with the deployment of the front airbags, side airbags or curtain airbags. The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located within

lder belt anchor so
that the shoulder belt
is positioned across
the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The sh
oulder belt should
not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect seat belt performance and increase the risk of serious in
jury or death in the
event of an accident. Adjust the shoulder be
lt anchor only when
the vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position after adjusting it.
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N G The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyonewho can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender.
Unnecessary use of an
extender can adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unborn children in an accident, pregnant women should always wear
a seat belt. The lap
portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult your doctor if youhave any additional qu
