A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response for conven- tional vehicles would
also require the same
response for electric vehicles. Also follow the instru
ctions described below
to avoid severe burns a
nd electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death. 10- Quick charge portIn case of a collision
WA R N I N G If your vehicle is dri
vable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby locationand remain on the scene. Also, if possible, do the following opera- tions and stay out of the way of anyoncoming traffic while awaiting the arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.• Move the selector
lever to the “P”
• Apply the parking brake.• Open the windows,
doors and liftgate.
• Turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position.• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.• Move the key away from the vehicle to prevent unintended start-up of the sys- tem by inadvertent co
ntact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
 Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec- tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-ion battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside
or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see “High- voltage components” on page 3-34. If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the floor. Leaks or damage to the main drive lith- ium-ion battery may result in a fire. If youdiscover them, contact emergency services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium manganite from the Lithium-ionbattery, never touch any fluid leaking from the inside or outs
ide of the vehicle. If
the fluid contacts you
r skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to help
avoid serious injury.
If you are unable to safely assess the vehi- cle due to vehicle damage, do not touchthe vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency responders that this is
an electric vehicle.
WA R N I N G
If a fire occurs in th
is vehicle,
leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contactemergency services. Do not attempt toextinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire involves a lithium-ion battery, it will require large, sustained volumes of waterfor extinguishment.
Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious injury or death fromelectrical shock. When you leave the ve
hicle, if possible,
open the windows,
doors and liftgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/com- bustible gasses. This will also assist in therescue and fire fighting process. As with any vehicle fi
re, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale smoke, vapors, or gas
from the vehicle.
Move to a safe distan
ce upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire
and out of the way of
any oncoming traffic
while awaiting the
arrival of emerge
ncy responders.
If you detect leaking
fluids, sparks, smoke,
flames, gurgling, popp
ing or hissing noises
originating from the
high voltage battery
compartment, contact emergency services immediately. This may result in a fire. Physical damage to the vehicle or high voltage battery may result in immediate ordelayed release of t
oxic and/or flammable
gases and fire.WA R N I N G

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.
