The indicator normally comes on when the
electric motor switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will
stay on to show that the passenger’s front air-
bag is not operational.
 The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
 The system senses that a child is in the
child restraint system on the front passen-
ger’s seat.
When the passenger’s seat occupant classifi-
cation sensor system senses there is a person
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the indi-
cator goes out to show that the passenger’s
front airbag is operational.

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.

you should immediately have the airbag
system in your vehicle inspected by a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer as soon as possible:

indicator difficult or impossible to see.

airbag off indicator and verify the status
of the passenger’s airbag system.
