The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when …The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are not designed to
deploy in situations where they cannot provide protection to
the occupants.
Some typical situations are shown in the illustrations.
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not pro-
tect the occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to always
wear your seat belts properly.
Rear end collision to your vehicle
Side collision to your vehicle
Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

Curtain airbag system
N00419200174
The curtain airbags are contained in the front and rear pillars
and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only
on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no passen-
ger in the front seat.

WA R N I N G
!

Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object
around the part where the curtain airbag (B)
deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or
front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates, the microphone or other
object may be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.
WA R N I N G
!

Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed 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 (without using a hanger). Make sure there are
no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes
that you hang on the coat hook.


Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint
systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.


Front-facing child restraint systems should also be
used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child
restraint system must be used in the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible, and make
sure that the child stays in the child restraint system,
properly restrained and away from the door.


Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the
passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not
lean against or be close to the section of the seatback
where the side airbag and curtain airbag are
located. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain
airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of these instruc-
tions could lead to serious injury or death to the
child.

SRS servicing
N00408500614
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
