Deployment of side airbag and curtain airbag
N00408200389
The side airbag and curtain airbag ARE DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when … A side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the mid-
dle of the passenger compartment.
The typical situation is shown in the illustration.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of pro-
tection in an accident. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide
additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety
of all occupants, be sure to always wear your seat belts prop-
erly.
Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag
and curtain airbag system components should be
done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer. Improper work methods can cause acciden-
tal side airbag and curtain airbag deployment, or
render a side airbag and curtain airbag inoperable.
Either of these situations can result in serious injury
or death.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag MAY NOT
DEPLOY when … In certain types of side collisions, the side airbag and curtain
airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body
seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure is
designed to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help
protect the occupants. Also, depending on the location of the
impact, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy
simultaneously. Some typical situations where the side airbag
and curtain airbag may not deploy are shown in the illustra-
tions.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always wear
your seat belts properly.
Side impact in an area away from the passenger compartment
Motorcycle or other similar small vehicle collision with the
side of vehicle
Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object

SRS servicing
N00408500601
NOTE
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another
person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applica-
ble sections in this owner’s manual.
If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge you to
first take it to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer so
that the SRS can be made safe for disposal.
If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use
by a handicapped person, the advanced airbag system will
be greatly affected. Please consult an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer for assistance.
Driver’s seat
Front passenger seat
Front seat belt
Steering wheel
Instrument panel
WA R N I N G
!
Any maintenance performed on or near the compo-
nents of the SRS should be performed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Do not permit
anyone else to do any service, inspection, mainte-
nance or repair on any SRS components or wiring.
Similarly, no part of the SRS should ever be han-
dled, removed or disposed by anyone except an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Improper work methods on the SRS components or
wiring could result in an accidental airbag deploy-
ment or could make the SRS inoperable. Either of
these situations could result in serious injury or
death.
Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS
component or related vehicle part. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and may lead to injury.
If your vehicle has received any damage, you should
have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to make sure it is in proper working
order.
Do not modify your front seats, center pillar or cen-
ter console. Such modifications can adversely affect
SRS performance and may lead to injury.
Also, if you discover any tear or open seam in the
seat fabric near the side airbag, have the seat
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
If you find a crack in or damage to the front pillar,
rear pillar, or roof side rail where the curtain airbag
is located, have the SRS inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.WA R N I N G

NOTE
Do not attach additional keys or accessories to the ignition
key. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag
from inflating normally. Refer to “Deployment of front
airbags” on page 2-44.
In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to rec-
ognize the registered ID code from the key. This means
the engine will not start even when the key is turned to the
“START” position.
When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or
magnetic object (Type A)
When the key grip contacts metal of another key (Type
B)
When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizer
keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)
In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away
from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
A keyless entry system is being used nearby
The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate using the emergency key” on page 3-
33.
The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations in its communication with the vehicle. This means
that the battery is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1
to 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.
Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception
operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves
can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not
place near electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200109
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and operates a switch or handle
of a door or the trunk lid, verification of the ID code is per-
formed.
The F.A.S.T.-key enables the doors to be locked and unlocked,
the trunk lid to be opened and the engine to be started only
when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match.NOTE
When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.

Startability of Twin Clutch SST vehicle with an ambient
temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it
may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the
gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transmission has not
warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it
occurs, place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position
and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transmission will warm up, and you will be able to start
normally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
Flooded engine
If the engine has flooded during starting, first run the starter for
5 to 6 seconds while holding down the accelerator pedal.
Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK (PUSH OFF)” posi-
tion and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a moment, then
without depressing the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position for another 5 to 6 seconds.
Release the ignition switch if the engine starts. Repeat as nec-
essary. Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-
ity of your choice for assistance.

will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.
6. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with SST, make sure the gearshift lever is in
the “P” (PARK) position.
NOTE
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not
operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK)
position or the gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
7. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the

NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
NOTE
If the emergency key is attached to a key ring, it may
become impossible to insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the
emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being
started. When using the emergency key to start the engine,
first remove the key from the key ring.
At extremely cold ambient temperature
If the engine won’t start, press the accelerator pedal about half-
way down while cranking the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the
emergency key after the engine is started.
If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall to the
floor, which could disturb the pedal operation. Fur-
thermore, the F.A.S.T.-key could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injury if the air-
bag inflates.

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)
N00529600055
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions) using a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobilizer
system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.Replacement F.A.S.T.-keys
N00561000055
Only the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been programmed to the vehi-
cle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the F.A.S.T.-key, you can order a F.A.S.T.-key from
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key
number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID codes for all the F.A.S.T.-keys
except the one for the lost F.A.S.T.-key must be programmed
again.
Take your vehicle and all the remaining F.A.S.T.-keys to your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID codes
programmed again.
CAUTION
!
When starting the engine, make sure you depress
the brake pedal. If you start the engine with the
accelerator pedal depressed, move your foot to the
