ignition MITSUBISHI ASX 2009 1.G Owner's Manual

Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2-
Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
do not protect the occupant in all types of colli-
sions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY
DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may de-
ploy if the bottom of the vehicle suffers a moderate-
to-severe impact (undercarriage damage). Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision
with an elevated median/island or
kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts
as shown in the illustration that can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag infla-
tion is the most forceful and can possibly cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if you contact it at this stage. WARNING
l Do
not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat-
ing normally or could be propelled and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted 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 in-
flating correctly. Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Never install a rearward facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be
used in the rear seat whenever possible. If
a forward facing child restraint must be
used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the
child restraint and away from the door.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be
leaned against or be close to the area
where the side airbags and curtain air-
bags are located. It is dangerous if the
side airbags and curtain airbags inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. SRS warning lamp/display
E00407801546
Warning lamp Warning display type 1
Warning display type 2
The warning lamp/display illuminates when there
is

a fault with the system. In addition, the warning
display will be displayed on the information screen
in the multi-information display.
Normally, when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON,
the warning lamp should illuminate for several sec-
onds and then should go out.
In addition, if an SRS airbag and the pretensioner
system operate, the warning lamp illuminates and
stays on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS) and the seat belt preten-
sioner system. WARNING
l When
the warning lamp/display behaves
as follows, the system could be faulty.
The SRS airbag or pretensioner seat belt
might not operate normally during a col-
lision, etc., resulting in injury, so have
them inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • The warning lamp does not illuminateor stays illuminated when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON.
• The warning lamp illuminates while driving.
• The warning display operates while driving.
SRS servicing E00407901521 WARNING
l We
recommend any maintenance per-
formed on or near the components of the
SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper work on the SRS components
or wiring could result in inadvertent de-
ployment of the airbags, or could render
the SRS inoperative; either situation
could result in serious injury. Seat and seat belts
