Seat belt inspection
E00406300550
l Check
the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent in warm water. After rinsing in water,
let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this will af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We
recommend you have all seat belt as-
semblies including retractors and attach-
ing hardware inspected after any colli-
sion. We recommend that seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to op-
erate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407201742
The

information written in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, driv-
er’s knee, side and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.

The SRS driver and front passenger airbags em-
ploy a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver
and front passenger airbag is controlled by the im-
pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle and near the
center of the vehicle at floor level) and the driver’s
seat position sensor and the SRS front passenger air-
bag is controlled by the impact sensors.

The SRS side airbags are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest and ab-
domen injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side
impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the driv-
er and passenger with protection against head inju-
ries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag
system E00407400356
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 driver’s airbag inflates at two different rates ac-
cording to the fore-aft position of the driver’s seat
and the severity of the impact. The front passenger’s airbag deploys at the same
time

as the driver’s airbag, even if the passenger
seat is not occupied, and inflates at two different
rates according to the severity of the impact. Deployment of front airbags

cupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l 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. WARNING
l Right
after the airbag inflation, several
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.

WARNING
l 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 airbags. Special
care should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover the seats
with side airbags. They could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation. WARNING
l Do
not attach a microphone (A) or any
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. WARNING
l 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 inflating 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 a 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 in inadvertent deploy-
ment of side airbags and curtain airbags,
or could render side airbags and curtain
airbags inoperative; either situation
could result in serious injury. Seat and seat belts

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 prob-
lem. When the ignition switch 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 airbag or pretensioner seat belt is not oper-
ating properly, the warning lamp comes on and
stays on.
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 Driver’s seat position sensor
l Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch WARNING
