The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillars and roof side ra
il. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of thevehicle that is impacted
, even with no passen-
ger in the front seat.Curtain airbag system
WA R N I N G The side airbag and curtain airbag can cause serious injury
or death to anyone
too close to the airbag when it deploys. To reduce the risk of in
jury from a deploying
side airbag and curtai
n airbags, all occu-
pants must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the mid- dle of the seat. Do
not lean against the
door.
WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
rear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should betaken with children. Do not place any objects near or around the front of either front seatback. Such objects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment and cause injury duringdeployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers,
labels or additional
trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbag deployment. Do not install seat c
overs or re-cover seats
that have side airbag
s. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance.
 Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where thecurtain airbag (B) depl
oys, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof
side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflate,
the microphone or
other object may be
hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or seriousinjury. WA R N I N G Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.WA R N I N G

Electronic immobilizer (Ant
i-theft starting system)
Features and controls 5-3
5
Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose a key, you can order a key from a certified i-MiEV dealer by referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for thevehicle keys must be changed. Take your vehicle and al
l remaining keys to a
certified i-MiEV dealer
to have your ID code
changed. To add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle. Registering the ID code can be done by a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer.
Or it can be done by
yourself (except for vehi
cles sold in Canada).
To register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer key programming” procedurebelow.
NOTE
 In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to recognize
the registered ID code
from the key. This means the electric motorunit will not start even when the registered key is turned to the “START” position. • When the key contacts
a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object • When the key grip
contacts metal of
another key
• When the key contacts
or is close to other
immobilizing keys (inc
luding keys of other
vehicles)
 In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.Then try to start the electric motor unit again. If the electric motor unit does not start, con- tact a certified i-MiEV dealer.  Electronic immobilize
r is not compatible
with commercially available remote startingsystems. Use of commercially available remote starting systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and a loss of security pro-
tection.  A system failure is suspected when the elec- tric motor switch is turned to the “START”
tric motor unit does not
start. In such a case, contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.NOTE
CAUTION Do not make any altera
tions or additions to
the immobilizer system.
Alterations or addi-
tions could cause failur
e of the immobilizer.

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.

WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally

ger, especially by
a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of
someone being thrown
from the vehicle
in an accident.

cumulated on the lift-
gate, remove it before
opening the liftgate.
Otherwise the liftgate
may abruptly close
due to the weight of the snow or ice. When opening the lift
gate, always fully
open it. A partially opened liftgate can unexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgate may be greater or less than expected.The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.
CAUTION To avoid damage to th
e liftgate, make sure
the area above and behind
the liftgate is clear
before opening it.

Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with reduced brakepedal effort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is lost.If the power assist is lost, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater.

system (AVAS) sounds, pedestrians may not notice your vehicle.
NOTE
 If the indicator light blinks, turn the electric motor switch back to the “LOCK” positionand again turn the switch to the “ON” posi- tion. It is not a malfunction if the indicator lightgoes off. If the indica
tor light blinks again,
however, have the vehicl
e inspected at a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor
mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at
all times. Make sure
the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature pad wear, and pos
sible damage to the
brakes.
