To install
WARNINGl If there is any foreign material in or
around the connectors, remove it before
installing the child restraint system. Also, make sure the seat belt is away from, not
looped through or otherwise interfering
with, the child restraint system. If foreign matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes with the child restraint system,
the child restraint system will not be se-
cured properly and could move forward in the event of sudden braking or a colli-sion, seriously injuring the child and pos-
sibly other vehicle occupants.

rections 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
instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when the child restraint is removed.Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
lCheck the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if defective.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing 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* E00407202273
The information written in this Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) section contains im- portant points concerning the driver, front
passenger, side and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags
are designed to supplement the primary pro- tection of the driver and front passenger side
seat belt systems by providing those occu- pants with protection against head and chest
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbag is designed to supple-
ment the properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and front passenger with protection
against chest injury in certain moderate-to-se-
vere side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup- plement the properly worn seat belts and pro-
vide the driver and passengers with protec-
tion 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 accidents, seat belts should AL- WAYS be worn by everyone who drives or
rides in this vehicle.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIR- BAG:
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-
sengers properly positioned, which re- duces injury risk in all collisions, andreduces the risk of serious or fatal inju-
ries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained or improper-
ly restrained driver or passengers can move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the colli- sion.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause se- rious or fatal injuries if the occupant contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in
roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and inlower-speed frontal collisions, because
driver’s and passenger’s airbags are
not designed to inflate in those situa-
tions.WARNING• Seat belts reduce the risk of being
thrown from your vehicle in a collision
or roll-over.
l IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air- bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when it inflates.
• Before driving, adjust the driver’s seat
as far back as possible while still main-taining complete control of the vehicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen-
ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al-
ways properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the
driver and passengers should sit well
back and upright without leaning against the window or door.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the
instrument panel.

WARNINGlInfants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.WARNINGl A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child.NOTEl 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 passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 4-31.)WARNINGl A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should not be used in the frontpassenger seat whenever possible; if used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward position. Failure to
do so could kill or cause serious injuries to
the child.

E00408800588
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a front passenger airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
Do not use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407301352
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front impact sensors
5- Airbag control unit
6- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch

7- Side airbag modules
8- Side impact sensors
9- Curtain airbag modules
The airbags will operate only when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-
tion.
When the airbag control unit detect an impact of sufficient frontal or side force, it sends an
ignition signal 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 andpowder, but these conditions are not injuri-
ous, and do not indicate 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.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag*
4-30OKTE15E3Seat and seat belts4

The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi- sion.
The time required from the sensors detecting an impact to deflation of the airbags after de-
ployment is shorter than a blink of an eye.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, light cuts,
bruises, and the like.Front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch

sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer to
“To turn an airbag off” on page 4-31.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is located in the glove box.WARNINGl 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” posi- tion.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.WARNING• Always remove the key from the front

The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained in
the instrument panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are designed to inflate at the same
time even if the passenger seat is not occu- pied.
Deployment of front airbags
E00407501354
The front airbags ARE DE- SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag*
4-33OKTE15E3Seat and seat belts4

Head-on collision with a solid wall at speed of
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher Moderate to severe frontal impact within the shaded
area between the arrowsThe front airbags are designed to deploy
when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is shown
in the illustration.

The front airbags will deploy if the severity of impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately
25 km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting
straight into a solid wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is be-low the above threshold level, the front air- bags may not deploy. However, this thresh-
old speed will be considerably higher if the
vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the im- pact by either deforming or moving (for ex-
ample, another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you in a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa- tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed
to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu-
pants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.The front airbags MAY NOT
DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorbthe shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags
may not deploy irrespective of the deforma- tion and damage to the vehicle body. Exam-
ples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
