Seat belts work for everyone, including preg-nant women. Like al
l occupants, pregnant
women are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed in an accide
nt if they do not wear
seat belts.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt equippe
d with a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter 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
the seat belt retractors (A). When activated,
WA R N I N G Always adjust the shou
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
estions or concerns.

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 restraintinstallation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint installation function when you install a child restraint system using the seatbelt. 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. 2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system according 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, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the beltfeed back into the retractor.
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. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attachingother items, or equipment to the vehicle.

WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, al
ways make sure the
retractor has been switched to the ALR child restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraintsystem tightly secured to the seat. Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the childrestraint system to move forward during sudden braking
or an accide
nt, resulting
in serious injury or
death to the child or
other occupants.

4. After the belt has re
tracted, tug on it. If
the belt is in the ALR function, you willnot be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and youwill 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).7. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint system to the tether anchor (B) as illustrated below (7) and tighten thetop tether strap so it is securely fastened.
8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull the restra
int in all directions
to be sure it is firmly secured. Do this before each use. If the child restraint sys-tem is not firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7. 9. To remove a child restraint system fromthe vehicle and deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the beltfrom the restraint and let the belt fully retract.
10. Reinstall the head restraint.

The seat belt webbing
may be cleaned with
mild 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 se
at belt buckles and
their release mechanisms
for positive engage-
ment and release of the
latch plate. Check the
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.

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.

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.
