Pregnant women restraint
E00405600077WARNING
l Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women
should use the available seat belts. This
will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child.
The lap belt should be worn across the
thighs and as snug against the hips as pos-
sible, but not across the waist. Consult
your doctor if you have any additional
questions or concerns. Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system E00405700166
The

driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each
have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.
Pretensioner system E00405801135
When the ignition switch or the operation mode is
under

the following conditions, if there is a frontal
impact or a side impact (vehicles equipped with
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags) severe
enough to injure the driver and/or front passenger,
the pretensioner system will retract their respective
seat belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat
belt’s effectiveness.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless opera-
tion system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” po-
sition.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in ON. WARNING
l To
obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad-
justed your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly. CAUTION
l
Installation
of audio equipment or re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpec-
ted activation of the pretensioner seat
belts could cause injuries.
NOTE l The

pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact
or a severe side impact (vehicles equipped
with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain air-
bags), even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning E00405900243

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407301554
The SRS includes the following components: 1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front
passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Driver’s knee airbag module*
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch 6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules* Only when the ignition switch or the operation
mode

is under the following conditions, the airbags
will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless opera-
tion system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” po-
sition.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision. CAUTION
l
Airbags
inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
bruises, and the like. WARNING
l IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or
against the instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for in-
fants and children. Seat and seat belts

NOTE
l The
labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100256
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be

used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fit-
ted to any seat other than the front passenger seat,
be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch before using it.
(Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-27.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indica-
tion lamp
E00410200303
The

front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the instrument panel. The indicator normally illuminates when the igni-
tion

switch is turned to the “ON” position or the op-
eration mode is put in ON, and goes off a few sec-
onds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is not opera-
tional. When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, the indication lamp goes off
to show that the front passenger’s airbag is opera-
tional. WARNING
l Do
not fit any accessory that makes the in-
dication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the sta-
tus of the passenger airbag system.
To turn an airbag off E00412300063 WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always
remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or put-
ting the operation mode in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch.
Failure to do so could lead to improp-
er position of the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch. 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

er

in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel

bag

are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied. Driver’s knee airbag system*
