CAUTION
l
When the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the oper-
ation mode in ON or ACC for a long time
when the engine is not running may cause
the battery to be discharged, making it im-
possible to start the engine, lock and un-
lock the steering wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before dis-
connecting the battery for repair or re-
placement, make sure to put the opera-
tion mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which oper-
ation mode the vehicle is in when the bat-
tery is run down.

clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revo-
lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l

Seat adjustment
E00400300271
Adjust
the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision. WARNING
l Do
not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with
seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that
all occupants are sitting in their seats and
wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined. CAUTION
l
Make
sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be care-
ful not to catch your hand or foot. Front seat

Only when the ignition switch or the operation
mode
is under the following conditions, the airbags
will operate.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless operation
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. WARNING
l Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-
strument panel or be held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual. Seat and seat belts

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.
The
driver’s knee airbag is designed to deploy at
the same time as the driver’s front airbag. Deployment of front airbags and driv-
er’s knee airbag
E00407501644
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The
front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are de-
signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moder-
ate to severe frontal impact. Examples of some typ-
ical conditions are shown in the illustration. 1- Head-on
collision with a solid wall at a
speed of approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows Seat and seat belts
2-28

OGWE12E1
Page 91 of 378
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will de-
ploy
if the severity of the impact is above the de-
signed threshold level, comparable to a collision at
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) when impacting
straight into a solid wall that does not move or de-
form. If the severity of the impact is below the
above threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag may not deploy. However, this thresh-
old speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either
deforming or moving (for example, another station-
ary vehicle, pole or a guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always properly wear
your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a
safe distance from the steering wheel and instru-
ment panel during the initial stages of airbag deploy-
ment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the
most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-
tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your vehicle
are your primary means of protection in a collision.
The SRS airbags are designed to provide additional
protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safe-
ty of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY
NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehi-
cle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock
to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehi-
cle body’s front area may deform significantly as it
absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the
front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not de-
ploy irrespective of the deformation and damage to
the vehicle body. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision
with a utility pole, tree or other nar-
row object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal
collisions, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE
NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are not
designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot
typically provide protection to the occupant. 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). Seat and seat belts

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. 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. Seat and seat belts

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. 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
Point to safely dismantle the airbag system. Seat and seat belts
