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 deathin various types of cras
hes. For added protec-
tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemen
tal 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 prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraintsystems in the rear seat.  That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

WA R N I N G Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result
in an accident.
After adjusting the se
at, 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 thedriver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion 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 deploy-
ment of the passeng
er’s airbag, always
properly wear the seat
belt and adjust the
front passenger’s seat as far back as possi- ble. Always place childr
en 12 years old and
under in the rear seat
and use appropriate
child restraint systems.CAUTION Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex- pected 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 willbe 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 passen-
gers.WA R N I N G

The heated seats can
be operated when the
electric motor switch is in the “ON” position.
CAUTION The reclining mechanism used in the seat- back is spring loaded, and will cause the seatback to return quickly to the verticalposition when the lock
lever is operated.
When pulling the lever, sit close to the seat- back or hold the seatback with your hand tocontrol its return motion.
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 inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan 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 isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

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.

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

re the latch plate is
locked securely in the buckle.
4. The lap part of the belt must always be worn low and snug across the hips. Pullup on the shoulder portion of the belt to take up any slack
in the lap belt.
5. To release the belt,
press the button on the
buckle and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists in thewebbing. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.
N00418400371
A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.
NOTE
 If the seat belt locks
up and cannot be pulled
out, pull it once with force and let it retract all the way. Then, pull the belt out
slowly once again.
NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi-tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock- ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull the seat belt fully out of th
e retractor, the retrac-
tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function
(see page 4-18).
When the ALR function has been activated,the seat belt will only re
tract. If this happens,
let the belt fully retract, then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
WA R N I N G Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn as low as possible across the hips,not around the waist. Failure to follow thisinstruction will increase the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when worn. Twisted webbing may adversely affect seat belt performance.
