N00401600209
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
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
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 properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.
That all doors are fully closed and locked.
That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
Front seats
N00401800386
Position the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the ped-
als, easily control the steering wheel and safely operate the
vehicle.

!Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident.After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is
securely locked into position.To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death during deployment of the passen-
ger’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and
adjust the front passenger’s seat as far back as pos-
sible.Always place children 12 years old and under in the
rear seat and use appropriate child restraint sys-
tems.
CAUTION
!Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it
is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

2 Seat belts
N00406000471
Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WA R N I N G
!To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraint systems must
always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems”
on page 2-23 for additional information.Never use one seat belt for more than one person. Never carry more people in your vehicle than there
are seat belts. Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.Always place the shoulder 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 during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position 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 passenger of seri-
ous injury or death from a deploying airbag, make
sure the passenger always wears the seat belt prop-
erly, remains seated all the way back and upright in
their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible.
Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
airbag” on page 2-35 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 you are wearing around an infant or
child. Failure to follow these simple instructions cre-
ates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in
the event of an accident or sudden stop.Children 12 years old and under should always ride
in the rear seat and be properly restrained. This
reduces their risk of serious injury or death in an
accident, especially due to a deploying front passen-
ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on
page 2-23 for additional information.Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system.Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety
seat and positioned in the rear seat.In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies,
including retractors and attachment hardware,
should be inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer to
determine whether replacement is necessary.

Seat belt instructions
N00406200457
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle’s motion.NOTEFor instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt” on page 2-31.1. 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 the airbag,
adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely oper-
ate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 2-35. Also refer
to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 2-5.
