2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
airbag
N00407700651
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS), which includes airbags for the driver and passengers.
The SRS front airbags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems
by providing those occupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions.
The SRS front airbags, together with sensors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an
advanced airbag system.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the
primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can
reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and
provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate
to severe frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed
to supplement the seat belts. The SRS side airbags provide the
driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries
by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate to
severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide
the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear outboard
seat with protection against head injuries by deploying a bag
on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact colli-
sions.The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts.
For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts
must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in
this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate
child restraint system in the rear seat, and older children buck-
led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page
2-22.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR
YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN
AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and passengers
properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury
in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious
injuries or death when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an
unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or
passengers can move forward into direct contact
with, or within close proximity to, the airbag when
it begins to inflate.
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if
the occupant comes in contact with the airbag at
this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rollovers,
rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal
collisions, because the airbags are not designed to
inflate in those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle in a collision or rollover.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
• Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s
airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
• Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system.
WA R N I N G
!
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your
lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean
your head or chest close to the steering wheel or the
instrument panel.
Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.

Infants and small children should never ride unre-
strained, or lean against the instrument panel. They
should never ride held in your arms or on your lap.
They can be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent, especially when the airbags inflate. Infants and
children should be properly seated in the rear seat in
an appropriate child restraint system. Refer to
“Child restraint systems” on page 2-22.
WA R N I N G
!
NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in
the front passenger seat. This places the infant too
close to the passenger airbag. During deployment of
the airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or
killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant
restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.

FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever pos-
sible. If they must be used in the front passenger
seat, move the seat to the most rearward position
and make sure the child stays in the child restraint
system, properly restrained. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury or death to
the child.
WA R N I N G
!
Older children should be seated in the rear seat with
their seat belt properly worn, and with an appropri-
ate booster seat (including a booster cushion) if
needed.
Refer to “Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems” on page 2-32.

To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s airbag system.
WA R N I N G
!
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary.
• Never have more than one person (adult or child)
sitting on the seat.
• Do not place anything between the seat and the
floor console.
• Do not hang anything on the front passenger’s
seatback.
• When attaching a child restraint system, secure it
firmly.
• Do not place luggage or other objects on the seat.
• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.
• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.
• Do not place luggage or other objects under the
seat.
• Do not place the floor mat on the seat rails.
• Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.
• Do not subject the sensors to shock.
• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to push the front
passenger seat with their feet or force the front
passenger seat upward.
• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to grasp the front
passenger’s seatback or put their arms around it.
• When attaching a child restraint system in the rear
seat, make sure it does not interfere with the front
seat.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag can cause serious
injury or death to anyone too close to the airbag
when it deploys. To reduce the risk of injury from a
deploying side airbag and curtain airbags, all occu-
pants must be properly restrained and seated well
back, upright, and in the middle of the seat. Do not
lean against the door.
WA R N I N G
!
In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploy-
ing side airbag, do not allow any rear seat passen-
gers to hold onto the back of either front seat.
Special care should be taken with children.
Do not place any objects near or around the front of
either front seatback. Such objects can interfere
with proper side airbag deployment and cause
injury during deployment of the side airbag.
Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on
the back of either front seat. They can interfere with
proper side airbag deployment.
Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have
side airbags. Covers can interfere with proper side
airbag deployment and adversely affect side airbag
performance.

Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object
around the part where the curtain airbag (B)
deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or
front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflate, the microphone or other
object may be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object
on the coat hook. If the curtain airbag was activated,
any such item could be propelled away with great
force and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat
hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are
no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes
that you hang on the coat hook.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint
systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Front-facing child restraint systems should also be
used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child
restraint system must be used in the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible, and make
sure that the child stays in the child restraint system,
properly restrained and away from the door.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the
passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not
lean against or be close to the section of the seatback
where the side airbag and curtain airbag are
located. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain
airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of these instruc-
tions could lead to serious injury or death to the
child.

4 Vehicle preparation before driving
N00629000672
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the follow-
ing: Seat belts and seats
Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all
passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly
(with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints),
and that all the doors are locked.

Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while
still keeping good visibility, and good control of the steer-
ing wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the
instrument panel indicators and multi-information display
for any possible problem.

Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.

Make sure that infants and small children are properly
restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.Defrosters Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower
switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing
against the windshield.
{Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (windshield, door win-
dow)” on page 5-10, 5-20, 5-30.}
Tires Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear pat-
terns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects stuck in the
tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the
wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for
proper pressures. Replace your tires before they are heavily
worn out.
As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement
should, therefore, be performed only by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Lights Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on
and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and high-beam
indicators on the instrument panel. Fluid leaks Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you need to find out why
immediately and have it fixed.
