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.

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.
