Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
4-34 Seat and restraint systems
4
The side airbag and curtain airbag are not
designed to deploy in situations where they
cannot provide protection to the occupants.
Some typical situations are shown in the
illustrations.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupants in all types of
collisions, be sure to always wear your seat
belts properly.

WARNING
 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, maintenance 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 deployment or could make
the SRS inoperable. Either of these situa-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
 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 the
front bumper or body structure can
adversely affect SRS performance and
may lead to injury.
 If your vehicle has received any damage,
you should have the SRS inspected by a
certified i-MiEV dealer to make sure it is
in proper working order.
