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
The same warning lamp/display is shared by the
SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat belts.

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

However, if you only add a small amount of
fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.
Fill with a full tank whenever possible.
l On rare occasions, the value displayed for
the driving range may change if you are
parked on an extremely steep incline. This is
due to the movement of fuel in the tank and
does not indicate a malfunction. l
