WARNING
l For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sud-
den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed. Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
l Check

the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent in warm water. After rinsing in water,
let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this will af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We
recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col-
lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407201944
The

information for SRS airbags includes impor-
tant information concerning the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the
side airbags and the curtain airbags.
The SRS airbags are designed to supplement the pri-
mary protection of the driver and front passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those occupants
with protection against head and chest injuries in
certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equipped) is de-
signed 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 in-
creased overall body protection in certain moderate-
to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are designed
to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and front passenger with protection
against chest and abdomen injuries in certain mod-
erate-to-severe side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and
provide the driver and passenger with protection
against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To
ensure the maximum protection during all types of
collisions and accidents, all occupants, including
the passengers as well as the driver, must wear
their seat belts. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
• Do not turn OFF the front passen- ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except
when a child restraint system is fitted
to the front passenger seat.
• If the indicator does not come on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a
child restraint system to the front pas-
senger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the indication lamp remains on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned ON, do not al-
low anyone to sit on the front passen-
ger seat. We recommend you to have
the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps: 1. Insert
the key into the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the
“OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. 3. Turn
the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in ON. The
front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp will stay on. The front passenger’s airbag is now deactivated
and will not deploy until switched on again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag
system
E00407400792
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cov-
er

in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel
above the glove box. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s air-
bag

are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied. Driver’s knee airbag system*
E00412400022
The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steer-
ing wheel.

WARNING
l Do not attach accessories to the lower por-
tion of the driver’s side instrument panel.
Such objects could prevent the driver’s
knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled and cause serious in-
jury if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not put packages, pets or other ob-
jects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt. WARNING
l The
airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recom-
mend you to have the entire airbag sys-
tem inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Side airbag system* E00407600303
The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and
front passenger seatbacks.
The

side airbag is designed to inflate only on the
side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no
passenger in the front seat. The label shown here is attached to the seatbacks
with a side airbag.
Curtain airbag system*
E00409100559
The curtain airbags are contained in the front pil-
lars

and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is de-
signed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that
is impacted, even with no passenger in the front
seat or rear seat. 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

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

WARNING
l Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
belt retractor or any other SRS compo-
nents. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
l If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we recommend you to have the SRS in-
spected to ensure it is in proper working
order.
l On vehicles with the side airbags, do not
modify your front seats, centre pillar and
centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance
and lead to possible injury.
If you found any tear, scratch, crack or
damage to the seat fabric near the side air-
bag, the portion of the front and rear pil-
lars and roof side rail, you should have
the SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE l When

you transfer ownership of the vehicle
to some other person, we urge you to alert
the new owner that it is equipped with the
SRS and refer the new owner to the applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
l If your vehicle has to be scrapped, do this in
line with local legislation and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
