N00407800489
The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit
monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe electric motor switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. Thes
e include all of the
items listed above a
nd all related wiring.
The airbags will operate only when the elec- tric motor switch is in the “ON” or “START” When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke isnot harmful, but do not
intentionally inhale
the smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems. After deployment, the
airbags will quickly
deflate, so quickly th
at some people may not
even realize the airbags inflated. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driverfrom seeing or being able
to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
N00418600227
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properlyworn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed. Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint syst
ems” on page 4-19.

short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver safety belt was buckled/fastened;  How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,  How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat posit
ion sensor is attached
to the seat rail and provides the airbag control unit with information
on the seat’s fore-aft
position. The airbag control unit controlsdeployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, th
e SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light” on page 4-26.
N00418000351
The passenger’s seat oc
cupant classification
sensor system is attached to the front passen- ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con- trol unit with inform
ation regarding the
occupant on the front passenger seat. The air- bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance withthe information it receives from this system. The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenger’s seat or a child in a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger’s airbag off indi
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s ai
rbag off indicator” on
page 4-25. If there is a problem involving the passen-ger’s seat occupant cl
assification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warninglight” page 4-26.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no dataare recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying
data routinely acquire
d during a crash inves-
tigation.
Driver’s seat position sensor
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning
light comes on, have
the vehicle inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible. Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate correctly.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back
against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary when driving.

There is a Supplemen
tal 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 andthen 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 lig
ht will come on and
stay on. The SRS warning light is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.
N00407900321
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained inthe instrument panel above the glove com- partment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are designed to deploy atthe same time. However, the front passen- ger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat is not occupied or when thesystem senses that a child is in the child restraint system.
WA R N I N G If any of the follow
ing conditions occur,
you should immediat
ely have the airbag
system in your vehicle inspected by a cer-tified i-MiEV dealer
