Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mechanisms for positive engage-ment and release of the latch plate. Check the retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obviouscuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec- tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from sunlight. All of these con-ditions indicate a weakening of the belt, which may adversely affect seat belt perfor- mance in an accident.
N00407701892
This vehicle is equipped with a SupplementalRestraint System (SRS), which includes air-bags for the driver and passengers. The SRS front airbags are designed to supple- ment the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems by provid- ing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air- bags, together with sensors at the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the frontseats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce theforward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate to severe frontal colli-sions. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supplement the seat belts. The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chestinjuries by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and the passengers on the front seat and the rear outboard seats with protection against head injuries by deploying the curtain airbagon the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions and by deploying both curtain airbags when a rollover is detected.The curtain airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk of complete and partial ejec- tion from the vehicle through side windows
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This work should be done by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer perform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or death in an accident.
 Never use an organic solvent to clean the seat belt webbing. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the seat belt webbing. These may weaken the seat belt webbing, increasing risk of injury or death in anaccident. Clean seat belt webbing only with mild soap or detergent solution and rinse itwith lukewarm water, and dry the seat belt webbing completely before retracting it.
Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem (SRS) - airbag
NOTE
 The SOS emergency assistance (if so equipped) is designed to operate when any of the airbags deploy or severe collision occurs. Refer to “Telematics Control Unit (TCU)” on page 3-5.WA R N I N G

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per- formed only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Do not permit anyone elseto do any service, inspection, maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wir- ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS shouldever be handled, removed or disposed by anyone except an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Improper work methods on the SRS com- ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deployment or could makethe SRS inoperable. Either of these situa- tions could result in serious injury or death. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component or related vehiclepart. For example, replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure canadversely affect SRS performance and may lead to injury. If your vehicle has received any damage, you should have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to make sure it is in proper working order.
 Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modifications can adversely affect SRS performance and may lead to injury. Also, if you discover any tear or openseam in the seat fabric near the side air- bag, have the seat inspected by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of the front andrear pillars and roof side rail, you should have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
 When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applicable sec-tions in this owner’s manual.  If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge you to first take
it to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer so that the SRS can be made safe for disposal.  If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by a handicapped person, the advanced airbag system will be greatly affected.

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-73

When turning a sharp corner in “GRAVEL” position at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced similar to feel- ing as if the brakes were applied. This iscalled tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon istypical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “SNOW” in accordance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Set the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure onthe accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tires, and check the tire pres- sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.
CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and “SNOW” position to drive on dry paved road will increase fuel con- sumption, with possible noise and vibration generation.
Turning sharp corners On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other drive-system components are put underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents. If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is being driven, immedi- ately park your vehicle in a safe place andfollow these procedures:NOTE

If the electrical circuits become wet, furtheroperation of the vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid driving through water unlessabsolutely necessary. If driving through water is unavoidable, use the following procedure: Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Drive
slowly to avoid creating excessive water splashing.
N00530700085
After operating the vehicle in rough road con- ditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:  Check that the vehicle has not been dam- aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
• If the engine coolant temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly.Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.• If the “ ” warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the “ ” warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display.Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-66.WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people andphysical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, causing injury or dam-age to nearby people or objects.NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning; such operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck.CAUTION
 If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or muddy roads, it can often be moved with a rocking motion. Move the selector lever alternately between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE) positions while pressinglightly on the accelerator pedal.  Driving on rough road can cause rust on the vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp grades Driving through water
NOTE
CAUTION Never drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. Do not change the selector lever posi-tion while driving through water. Frequent driving through water can adversely affect the life span of the vehicle;consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice and take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle. After driving through water, apply the brakes to be sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are wet and not functioning prop- erly, dry them out by driving slowly whilelightly depressing the brake pedal. Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.

Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) 5-128 Features and controls
5
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle hasbeen equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated tire causes the tire tooverheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi- cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute forproper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pres- sure, even if under-inflation has not reachedthe level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthe system is not operating properly. TheTPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, thetelltale will flash for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequentvehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi-nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a varietyof reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-ing properly. Always check the TPMS mal- function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure thatthe replacement or alternate tires and wheels
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illuminate when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitoring system isnot working properly. Have the system inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking,sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated. The warning light will issue further warnings each time the engine is restarted as long as the malfunctionexists. Check to see whether the warning light goes off after few minutes driving.If it then goes off during driving, there is no problem. However, if the warning light does not gooff, or if it blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp turning andhigh-speed driving.
NOTE
 In addition, the warning display is displayed on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.
