Front passenger seat belt warning light
N00418300149
The front passenger seat belt warning light is located between
the central vents in the instrument panel.
The light normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position and goes off a few seconds later.
The light comes on when a person sits on the front passenger
seat but does not fasten the seat belt. It goes off when the seat
belt is subsequently fastened.
WA R N I N G
!
In order to reduce the risk of serious injury or death
in an accident, always wear your own seat belt. Do
not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or
she is also seated and wearing a seat belt. Children
should additionally be restrained in a secure child
restraint system.
WA R N I N G

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR
YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN
AIR BAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and passengers
properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury
in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious
injuries or death when the air bags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an
unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or
passengers can move forward into direct contact
with, or within close proximity to, the air bag when
it begins to inflate.
The beginning stage of air bag inflation is the most
forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if
the occupant comes in contact with the air bag at
this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rear impact
collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions
because the air bags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle in a collision or rollover.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during air bag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
• Air bags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the air bag may not provide
the proper protection and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s air bag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s air
bag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
• Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system. WA R N I N G

Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900092
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the air bag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The air bag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front air bag in accordance with the information
it receives from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor,
the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light” on page 2-44.
Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000188
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the air bag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The air bag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front air
bag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front air bag will not deploy in an impact
when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approxi-
mately 66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s air bag
off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s air bag off indicator” on page 2-43.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light” page 2-44.
WA R N I N G
!
If the SRS warning light comes on, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible.
Please observe the following instructions to ensure
that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate
correctly.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seat” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary
when driving.
• Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the
front seat.

If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the
sensor inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
!
If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as pos-
sible:
• The SRS warning light does not initially come on
when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while you are
driving.

Passenger’s air bag off indicator
N00418100235
The passenger’s air bag off indicator is located between the
central vents in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will stay on to show
that the passenger’s front air bag is not operational.

The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passen-
ger seat.

The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator
goes out to show that the passenger’s front air bag is opera-
tional.
WA R N I N G
!
If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have the air bag system in your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible:
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator comes on
when an adult is sitting on the front passenger
seat.
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator does not
come on when the front passenger’s seat is not
occupied.
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator does not
come on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator comes on and
goes out repeatedly.

Do not attach any accessory to your vehicle that
makes the passenger’s air bag off indicator difficult
or impossible to see.
You must be able to see the passenger’s air bag off
indicator and verify the status of the passenger’s air
bag system.
