Overview

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works E00407301583
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

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.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100197
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 2-26.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp E00411500101
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the meter.
The indication lamp normally comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and
goes off a few seconds later.

When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the passenger front 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 operational.To turn an airbag off E00410600235WARNINGlTo 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 from “ON” position to
“LOCK” position.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from a 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.
• 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.WARNING• Turn ON the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch immediately after re-
moving a child restraint system from
the passenger seat.
• If the indication lamp 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
passenger 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
allow 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 key opening of the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch,
push the key inwards until stopped by a
touch and then turn the key from “ON” to
“OFF” position (anticlockwise).
2. Remove the key from the key opening of that the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
3.Insert the key into the ignition switch, and
turn the ignition to “ON” position. 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 passenger’s front airbag
system E00407400213
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 front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe impact (under-
carriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Because the front airbags may deploy in certain
types of unexpected impacts as shown in the illus-
tration that 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 dis-
tance from the steering wheel and instrument panel
during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful
and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.Collision with an elevated median/island or kerbVehicle travels over a deep hole/potholeVehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel padded cover, such as trim materi-
al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
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.WARNINGl 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 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.

Storage spacesE00713101244CAUTIONlNever leave lighters, cans of carbonated
drink, and spectacles in the cabin when
parking the vehicle in hot sunshine. The
cabin will become extremely hot, so light-
ers and other flammable items may catch
fire and unopened drink cans (including
beer cans) may rupture. The heat may al-
so deform or crack plastic spectacle len-
ses and other spectacle parts that are
made of plastic.
l Keep the lids of storage spaces closed
while driving the vehicle. A lid or the con-
tents of a storage space could otherwise
cause injuries.
NOTE
l Do not leave valuables in any storage space
when leaving the vehicle.

Fusible linksE01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.Fuses E01003001963
Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to
shortcircuiting or overloading, each individual cir-
cuit is provided with a fuse.
There is a fuse block in the passenger compartment.The location of the fuse block in the passenger com-
partment depends whether the vehicle is LHD or
RHD. In a LHD vehicle, it is located behind the cov-
er in front of the driver’s seat. In a RHD vehicle, it
is located at the back of the glove box (as shown in
the illustration).
Fuse load capacity
The fuse capacities and the names of the electrical
systems protected by the fuses are shown on the
back of the cover in a LHD vehicle and behind the
cover at the back of the glove box in a RHD vehicle.
NOTE l The vehicle is not equipped with spare fuses.
Please purchase replacement fuses as neces-
sary.
Passenger compartment fuse location table
NOTE l When replacing a fuse, be sure to use a fuse
of the same capacity.
