Because the side air bags and curtain air bags do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.
WARNING
!●The side air bags and curtain air bags are designed
to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in
certain side impacts. Seat belts should always be
worn properly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning against the
window or door.
WARNING
!●The side air bags and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. The driver and passenger should not put
their arms out the window, and should not lean
against the door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possibly fatal injury from the deploying side air bags
and curtain air bags.

WARNING
!●Do not allow a child to kneel on the passenger seat
facing the passenger’s side door, since the side air
bags and curtain air bags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
WARNING
!●Do not allow any second seat occupant to hold onto
the seatback of either front seat, in order to reduce
risk of injury from the deploying side air bags. Spe-
cial care should be taken with children.●Do not place any objects near or in front of the seat-
back of either front seat. They could interfere with
proper side air bag inflation, and also could cause
injury if thrown free by side air bag deployment.●Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on
the seatback of either front seat. They could inter-
fere with proper side air bag inflation.●Do not install seat covers on seats with side air bags.
Do not re-cover the seats with side air bags. They

WARNING
!●Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other device
or object around the part where the curtain air bags
activate such as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or assist grips.
When the curtain air bags inflate, the microphone
or other device or object will be hurled with great
force or the curtain air bags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
!●Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object
on the coat hook.
If the curtain air bag was activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force and could
prevent the curtain air bag from inflating correctly.
Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without
using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the
pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook.●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 air bags and cur-
tain air bags are located. It is dangerous if the side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead
to serious or fatal injury to the child.●We recommend work around and on the side air
bags and curtain air bags system to be done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper work could result in inadvertent deploy-
ment of side air bags and curtain air bags, or could
render side air bags and curtain air bags inopera-
tive; either situation could result in serious injury.

SRS warning lamp
E00407800653
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 problem. When the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” or “START” position, the warning lamp should
illuminate for several seconds and then should go out. This
means the system is ready. If an SRS air bags or pre-tensioner
seat belt is not operating properly, the warning lamp comes on
and stays on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the following:
●Driver’s air bag
●Front passenger’s air bag
●Side air bags
●Curtain air bags
●Seat belt pre-tensioners
●Driver’s seat position sensor
●Front passenger’s air bag ON-OFF switch
WARNING
!●If any of the following conditions occurs, the SRS
and/or seat belt pre-tensioners are not working
properly, and we recommend you to have it
inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point immediately.
• The SRS warning lamp does not illuminate when
you start the vehicle.
• The SRS warning lamp does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.

E00407900726
NOTE●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 applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.

WARNING
!●We recommend any maintenance performed on or
near the components of the SRS to be performed by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service

Improper work on the SRS components or wiring
could result in inadvertent deployment of the air
bags, or could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.●Do not modify your steering wheel, seat belt retrac-
tor or any other SRS components. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.●If your vehicle has received any damage, we recom-
mend you to have the SRS inspected to ensure it is in
proper working order.●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 air bag, we
recommend you to have the seat inspected.●If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to
the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side
rail, you should have the SRS inspected by a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
