N00406200457
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It perm
its 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
retractor in the event of a sudden change in the vehicle’s motion. 1. Occupants should always
sit back in their
seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce
the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-20. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-3.
2. Grasp the latch plat
e and slide it up the
webbing so that it easily pulls across yourbody.
 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’s airbag. Refer to
“Child restraint sys-
tems” on page 4-13 for additional information. Any child who is t
oo small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate childrestraint system. Infants MUST be placed 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.
Seat belt instructions
WA R N I N G
NOTE
 For instructions on installing a child restraint system using a seat belt
, refer to “Installing a
child restraint system using the seat belt” on page 4-18.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is inmotion. Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious
injury or death.

abdomen and hip injuri
es by deploying the
bag on the side impact
ed in moderate to
severe side impact collisions. The SRS cur- tain airbags provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and re
ar seat with protection
against head injuries
by deploying a bag on
the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle
(with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-13.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. Thisreduces the risk of injury in all collisions,and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate. During sudden braking just before a col-lision, an unrestra
ined or improperly
restrained driver or passengers can move forward into direct contact with, orwithin close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate. The beginning stage of
airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes in contact with the ai
rbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rollovers, rear impact collisions, and inlower-speed frontal collisions, because the airbags are not de
signed to inflate in
those situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be seriously inju
red or killed.
WA R N I N G
• Airbags inflate ve
ry quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas-senger are not properly seated andrestrained, the airbag may not provide the proper protection and can cause seri- ous injuries or deat
h when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death
due to a deploying
driver’s airbag, al
ways properly wear
your seat belt and adju
st the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining aposition that still allows the driver to have good control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle con-
trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or
death from a deploy-
ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat beltproperly, remains seat
ed upright and all
the way back in the
seat, and positions
the seat as far back as possible. • Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrain
ed in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.
 Airbags inflate very
quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean your head
or chest close to the
steering wheel or the instrument panel. Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instrument panel.WA R N I N G

N00408301606
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
as soon as possible:
• The passenger’s airbag off indicator comes on when an adul
t is sitting on the
front passenger seat.• The passenger’s airb
ag off indicator does
not come on when the front passenger’s seat is not occupied.• The passenger’s airb
ag off indicator does
not 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 accessory 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 an
d verify the status
of the passenger’
SRS warning light
WA R N I N GIf any of the following conditions occur, there may be a proble
m with the SRS air-
bags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners, andthey may not function
properly in a colli-
sion or may suddenly
activate without a
collision:• Even when the electric motor switch is in“ON” position, the SRS warning lightdoes not come on or it remains on.• The SRS warning li
ght comes on while
driving.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pre-ten-sioners are designed to help reduce therisk of serious injury
or death in certain
collisions. If either
of the above conditions
occurs, immediately
have your vehicle
checked by a certified i-MiEV dealer.

The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and front passenger seatbacks. The side airbag is de
signed to inflate only on
the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the front seat. A label is attached to the seatbacks in vehi- cles with side airbags.
WA R N I N G Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-rial, badges, etc. These could strike andinjure an occupant if the airbag inflates.  Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the instrument
panel above the glove
compartment. Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates. WA R N I N G Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of, the windshield. They could restrict the airbag inflation, or strike andinjure an occupant
, when the airbag
inflates.  Do not attempt to remove, install, disas- semble or repair the SRS airbags.
 Do not place objects,
such as packages or
pets, between the airbags and the driveror the front passenger. Such objects canadversely affect ai
rbag performance, or
cause serious injury or death when the airbag deploys. Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the airbag syst
em will be hot. Do
not touch them. You could be burned.  The airbag system is designed to work only once. After the
airbags deploy, they
will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the
entire airbag system
must be inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.WA R N I N G

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per-formed only by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do any ser- vice, inspection, main
tenance or repair on
any SRS components or
wiring. Similarly,
no part of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or disposed
by anyone except a
certified i-MiEV dealer. Improper work methods on the SRS com- ponents or wiring could result in an acci-dental airbag deploym
ent or could make
the SRS inoperable. Ei
ther of these situa-
tions could result in serious injury ordeath.  Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component
or related vehicle
part. For example, replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications to thefront bumper or body structure can adversely affect SR
S performance and
may lead to injury. If your vehicle has re
ceived any damage,
you should have the
SRS inspected by a
certified i-MiEV dealer to make sure it is in proper working order.
 Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modificationscan adversely affect
SRS performance and
may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by a certified
i-MiEV dealer.  If you find a crack in
or damage to the
front pillar, rear pillar, or roof side rail where the curtain airbag is located, havethe SRS inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.NOTE
 When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we
urge you to alert the
new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS
and refer that owner to
the applicable sec-
tions in this owner’s manual.  If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge you to first take it to a certified i- MiEV dealer so that the SRS can be madesafe for disposal.  If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by
a handicapped person,
the advanced airbag sy
stem will be greatly
affected. Please consult a certified i-MiEV dealer for assistance. •Driver’s seat • Front passenger seat • Front seat beltWA R N I N G
