The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts.
For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts
must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in
this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate
child restraint system in the rear seat, and older children buck-
led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page
2-24.
WA R N I N G
!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR
YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN
AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and passengers
properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury
in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious
injuries or death when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an
unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or
passengers can move forward into direct contact
with, or within close proximity to, the airbag when
it begins to inflate.
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if
the occupant comes in contact with the airbag at
this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rollovers,
rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal
collisions, because the airbags are not designed to
inflate in those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle in a collision or rollover.
WA R N I N G
!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
• Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s
airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
• Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system.

WA R N I N G
!
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your
lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean
your head or chest close to the steering wheel or the
instrument panel.
Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.
WA R N I N G
!
Infants and small children should never ride unre-
strained, or lean against the instrument panel. They
should never ride held in your arms or on your lap.
They can be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent, especially when the airbags inflate. Infants and
children should be properly seated in the rear seat in
an appropriate child restraint system. Refer to
“Child restraint systems” on page 2-24.

NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-triv-
ial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900164
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information
it receives from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor,
the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning” on page 2-45.
WA R N I N G
!
If the SRS warning comes on, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible.
Please observe the following instructions to ensure
that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate
correctly.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary
when driving.
• Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the
front seat.

If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the
SRS sensor inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as soon as possible.

Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000247
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the airbag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The airbag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front
airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when
the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s airbag off indi-
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-44.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning” page 2-45.
WA R N I N G
!
If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as pos-
sible:
• The SRS warning does not initially come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning does not go out after several sec-
onds.
• The SRS warning comes on while you are driving.

To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s airbag system.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary.
• Never have more than one person (adult or child)
sitting on the seat.
• Do not place anything between the seat and the
floor console.
• Do not hang anything on the front passenger’s
seatback.
• Do not remove the head restraints.
• When attaching a child restraint system, secure it
firmly.
• Do not place luggage or other objects on the seat.
• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.
• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.
• Do not place luggage or other objects under the
seat.
• Do not place the floor mat on the seat rails.
• Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.
• Do not subject the sensors to shock.
• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to push the front
passenger seat with their feet or force the front
passenger seat upward.WA R N I N G

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
N00407900318
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove compart-
ment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are
designed to deploy at the same time. However, the front pas-
senger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat
is not occupied or when the weight sensor in the front passen-
ger seat senses a weight on the seat of less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg).
WA R N I N G
!
There may be a system error if the warning
light/display appears as indicated. In such cases, an
SRS airbag or a seat belt pre-tensioner system may
not function properly in a collision. Have your vehi-
cle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer:
• Even when the ignition switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning light does not come on or it
remains on a few seconds later
• When warning light comes on while driving
• When warning display appears while driving

Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s pad-
ded cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. These
could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag
inflates.
Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove compartment.
Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the
airbag inflates.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of,
the windshield. They could restrict the airbag infla-
tion, or strike and injure an occupant, when the
airbag inflates.
Do not attach additional keys or accessories (hard,
pointed or heavy objects) to the ignition key. Such
objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from
inflating normally or could be propelled to cause
serious injury if the airbag inflates.
Do not attach accessories to the lower portion of the
driver’s side instrument panel. Such objects could
prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating nor-
mally or could be propelled to cause serious injury if
the airbag inflates.
