Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
4-26 Seat and restraint systems

N00408301606
There is a Supplemental 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 and
then 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 light will come on and
stay on. The SRS warning light is shared by
the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner
system.

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 in
the instrument panel above the glove com-
partment. The driver’s airbag and the front
passenger’s airbag are designed to deploy at
the same time. However, the front passen-
ger’s airbag does not deploy when the front
passenger seat is not occupied or when the
system senses that a child is in the child
restraint system.
WARNING
 If any of the following conditions occur,
you should immediately 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 adult is sitting on the
front passenger seat.
• The passenger’s airbag off indicator does
not come on when the front passenger’s
seat is not occupied.
• The passenger’s airbag off indicator does
not come on when the electric motor
switch is turned to the “ON” position.
• The passenger’s airbag off indicator
comes 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’s
airbag off indicator and verify the status
of the passenger’s airbag system.
SRS warning light
WARNING
 If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS air-
bags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners, and
they 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 light
does not come on or it remains on.
• The SRS warning light comes on while
driving.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pre-ten-
sioners are designed to help reduce the
risk 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.
