3.Push and pull the child restraint in all direc-
tions to be sure it is secure.WARNINGl For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sud-
den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed.Seat belt inspection E00406300475
l Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if defective.
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 affects
their characteristics.WARNINGl 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 to 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 activated, it
cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag* E00407201797
The information written in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, 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 side airbag is designed to supplement the
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest injury
in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment the properly worn seat belts and provide the
driver and passengers with protection against head
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact
collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum protection in all types of crashes and ac-
cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-
eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG:

tion lamp E00410200257
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the instrument panel.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is not opera-
tional.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned ON, the indication lamp goes off to show
that the front passenger’s airbag is operational.
WARNINGl If the indication lamp behaves in any of
the following ways, there may be a fault
in the airbag system.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible. •The indication lamp does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned OFF.
• The indication lamp stays on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON.
l Do not fit any accessory that makes the in-
dication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the sta-
tus of the passenger airbag system.Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag
system E00407400330

WARNINGlDo not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-
rial, badges, etc. It might strike and in-
jure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates.WARNINGl 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.WARNINGl 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.Side airbag system E00407600563
The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and
front passenger seatbacks.

WARNINGlDo not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbag. 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 seats that
have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.WARNINGl Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door
glass, front and rear pillars and roof side
or assist grips. When the curtain airbags
inflate, 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.WARNINGl 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 of
the seat where the side airbag and cur-
tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if
the side airbag and curtain airbag 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 MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. Improper
work could result in inadvertent deploy-
ment of a side airbags and curtain air-
bags, or could render a side airbags and
curtain airbags inoperative; either situa-
tion could result in serious injury.

SRS warning lampE00407801201
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 SRS airbag
and the seat belt pretensioner system.WARNINGl If any of the following conditions occur,
the SRS and/or seat belt pretensioners
are not working properly, and we recom-
mend you to have it inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point immediately.WARNING• The SRS warning lamp does not illu-
minate when you start the vehicle.
• The SRS warning lamp does not go
out after several seconds.
• The SRS warning lamp illuminates
while driving.SRS servicing E00407901244WARNINGlWe recommend any maintenance per-
formed on or near the components of the
SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper work on the SRS components
or wiring could result in inadvertent de-
ployment of the airbags, or could render
the SRS inoperative; either situation
could result in serious injury.
l Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
belt retractor or any other SRS compo-
nents. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
l If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we recommend you to have the SRS in-
spected to ensure it is in proper working
order.WARNINGl On vehicles equipped with side airbags,
do not modify your front seats, centre pil-
lar 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 airbag, we recommend you to
have the seat inspected.
l On vehicles with the curtain airbags, if
you have found any scratch, crack or dam-
age to the portion of the front and rear pil-
lars and roof side rail, we recommend
you to have the SRS inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE
l 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 the new owner to the applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
l If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge you
to first take the vehicle to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point so that
the SRS can be rendered safe.
