Safety mechanism E00302500537
Door’s window
If

a hand or head is trapped in the closing power
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the power window when closing a
power window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the power window is fully closed.
This allows the power window to close
completely. Therefore be especially care-
ful that no fingers are trapped in the pow-
er window.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the power window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the power window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. Repeatedly raise the appropriate power
window switch until that power window has
been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold
it in this condition for at least one second,
then release it. You should now be able to op-
erate the power window in the normal fashion.
Rear retractable power window
If

a hand or head is trapped in the closing rear re-
tractable power window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the rear retractable power window
when closing a rear retractable power window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the rear retractable power window is
fully closed. This allows the rear retracta-
ble power window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the rear retractable
power window.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the rear retractable power window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to
that caused by a trapped hand or head. Locking and unlocking

l Operate

in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.

terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on

Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system* E00405700283
The
driver’s and front passenger’s seat equipped
with an airbag has a pretensioner seat belt.
Pretensioner system E00405801089
The pretensioner system will retract their respec-
tive

seat belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the
seat belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact
severe enough to injure the driver and/or front pas-
senger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
The seat belt pretensioner includes the following
components: 1- Front impact sensors
2-

Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit WARNING
l To
obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad-
justed your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly. CAUTION
l
Installation
of audio equipment or re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. It is important to do
so because unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause inju-
ries.
NOTE l The

pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp E00405900126
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 2-38.
Force limiter system
E00406000078
In the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem

will effectively absorb the load applied to the
seat belt so as to minimize the impact to the passen-
ger. Seat and seat belts

The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When
the airbag control unit detect an impact of suf-
ficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition sig-
nal to the airbag modules to ignite materials in the
inflator and generate gas and inflate the airbags.
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.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye. CAUTION
l
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 E00410100184
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be

used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a rearward facing child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front
passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-30.) The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.
WARNING
l To 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. WARNING
• Always
remove the key from the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch. Failure to
do so could lead to improper position
of the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch.
