The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following com-
ponents:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode is under the following conditions. These include all
of the items listed above and all related wiring.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The operation mode is in ON.The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate under the same condi-
tions as the airbag control unit.
When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is
released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harm-
ful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it
may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory
problems.
The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-
severe front or side impact, even if the seat belt is not being
worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain
collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely
damaged. Such non-activation does not mean that something is
wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that
the collision forces were not severe enough to activate the sys-
tem.1- SRS warning light
2- Front impact sensors
3- Seat belt pre-tensioner

!
The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to
work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners
have been activated, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt
pre-tensioner system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull
the restraint in all directions to be sure it is firmly secure.
Do this before each use. If the child restraint system is not
firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and
deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the
restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from
the restraint and let the belt fully retract.
10. Reinstall the head restraint.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 2-11.
Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600605
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
WA R N I N G
!
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle, always take the child out as well.
Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped
inside the vehicle, especially on hot days.
Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep
your vehicle keys away from children.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode is under the following conditions. These include all
of the items listed above and all related wiring.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags will operate under the same conditions as the
airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact
to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be
deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by
a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally
inhale the smoke as it may cause temporary irritation to people
with respiratory problems.
An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even
notice that the airbag was inflated.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or
being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
Event Data Recording
N00418600256
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how
a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynam-
ics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

Whether or not the driver and front passenger safety belts
were buckled/fastened;

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
CAUTION
!
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In
certain situations, contact with an inflating airbag
may cause small cuts, abrasions, and bruises.

Passenger’s seat occupant classification sensor
system
N00418000364
The passenger’s seat occupant classification sensor system is
attached to the front passenger seat cushion and provides the
airbag control unit with information regarding the occupant 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 system.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when
the system senses no occupant on the front passenger seat or a
child in a child restraint system. In this case, the passenger’s
airbag off indicator will illuminate.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-43.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat occupant
classification sensor system, the SRS warning light in the
instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light” page 2-44.
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 light does not initially come on
when the ignition switch or the operation mode is
under the following conditions.
• [Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-
key]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The operation mode is in ON.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while you are
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.

3-2 Features and controls
3Break-in recommendations
N00508700330
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accel-
eration, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden brak-
ing. These would have a detrimental effect on the engine
and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
shift position (low gears).

Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating
capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-
13.)

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.
