Examples of some typical conditions areshown in the illustration.

Because the front airbags may deploy in cer- tain types of unexpected impacts as shown in
the illustration that can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you a safe distance from the steering
wheel and instrument panel during the initial
stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful andcan possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.
Collision with an elevated median/island or kerbVehicle travels over a deep hole/potholeVehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-
rial, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occu-
pant 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 objects
between the airbags and the driver orfront passenger. It could affect airbagperformance, or could cause injury when the airbag inflates.
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 recommend
you to have the entire airbag system in- spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

Side airbag system
E00407600563
The side airbags (A) are contained in the
driver and front passenger seatbacks.
The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, evenwith no passenger in the front seat.
The label shown here is attached to the seat- backs with a side airbag.
Curtain airbag system
E00409100474
The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve- hicle that is impacted, even with no passen- ger in the front seat or rear seat.
Deployment of side airbags and
curtain airbags
E00407701011
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustra-
tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in a collision. The SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are de-
signed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.

The side airbags and curtainairbags MAY NOT DEPLOY
when…
With certain types of side collisions, the ve-
hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.

Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of
side collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.Side impacts in an area away from the passenger

The side airbags and curtainairbags ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc- cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
Head-on collisionsRear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in certain side im-
pacts. 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.
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and front passenger should not put their arms out the window, and should not lean
against the door, in order to reduce the risk of serious or possible fatal injuryfrom the deploying side airbag and cur-
tain airbag.WARNINGl Do not allow a child to kneel on the pas-
senger seat facing the passenger’s side
door, since the side airbags and curtain airbags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri- ously injured.WARNINGl Do 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.

WARNINGlDo 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.
l 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 as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force orthe 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 (withoutusing a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects 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 curtain airbag
are located. It is dangerous if the side air- bag 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 Au-
thorized Service Point. Improper work could result in inadvertent deployment of
a side airbags and curtain airbags, or could render a side airbags and curtain airbags inoperative; either situation could
result in serious injury.SRS warning lamp
E00407802761
There is a Supplemental Restraint System
(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition. The SRS warning lamp will come on
for several seconds and then go out. This is
normal and means the system is working properly. If there is a problem involving one
or more of the SRS components, the warning
lamp will come on and stay 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,
there may be a problem with the SRS air- bags and/or seat belt pretensioners, and they may not function properly in a colli-

WARNINGsion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
• Even when the ignition switch is
in“ON” position, the SRS warning lamp does not come on or it remains
on.
• The SRS warning lamp comes on while
driving.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pretension- ers are designed to help reduce the risk of
serious injury or death in certain colli- sions. If either of the above conditions oc-
curs, immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.SRS servicing
E00407901244
WARNINGl We 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.WARNINGl 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 workingorder.
l 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
damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, we recom-
mend you to have the SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.NOTEl 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.
