airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.
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* E00407600084
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* E00409100067
The curtain airbags are contained in the front and
rear pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle
that is impacted, even with no passenger in the
front seat or rear seat.
Deployment of side airbags and cur-
tain airbags E00407701024
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DE-
SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are designed
to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-
severe side impact to the middle of the passenger
compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustration.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary
means of protection in a collision. The SRS side air-
bags and curtain airbags are designed to provide ad-
ditional protection. Therefore, for your safety and
the safety of all occupants, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.

other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags activate such
as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or as-
sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl 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 Do not allow the 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. Improper
work could result inadvertent deploy-
ment of a side airbags and curtain air-
bags, or could render a side airbags and
curtain airbags inoperative; either situa-
tion could result in serious injury.SRS warning lamp E00407801214
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”)
warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself and the lamp tells you if there is a prob-
lem. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
or “START” position, the warning lamp should il-
luminate for several seconds and then should go
out. This means the system is ready. If an SRS air-
bags or pretensioner seat belt is not operating prop-
erly, the warning lamp comes on and stays on and
a buzzer sounds.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the following:
l Driver’s airbag
l Front passenger’s airbag
l Side airbags*
l Curtain airbags*
l Seat belt pretensioners
l Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch

the SRS and/or seat belt pretensioners
are not working properly, and we recom-
mend you to have it inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point immediately. •The SRS warning lamp does not illu-
minate when you start the vehicle.
• The SRS warning lamp does not go
out after several seconds.
• The SRS warning lamp illuminates
while driving.SRS servicing E00407900784WARNINGlWe 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.
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.WARNINGl If your vehicle has received 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.
Also, if you have found any tear or open
seam in the seat fabric at the portion near
the side airbag, we recommend you to
have the seat inspected.
l On vehicles with the curtain airbags, if
you have found any scratch, crack or dam-
age to the portion of the front and rear pil-
lars and roof side rail, we recommend
you to 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 that owner to the applicable
section in this owner’s manual.
l If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge you
to first take the vehicle to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point so that
the SRS can be rendered safe.
