bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance withthe information it receives from this system. The passenger’s front ai
rbag will not deploy
in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenger’s seat or a child in a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger airbag off indi
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s ai
rbag off indicator” on
page 4-39. If there is a problem involving the passen- ger’s seat occupant cl
assification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrumentpanel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 4-40.

There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light on
the instrument panel.
The system checks itself every time the igni- tion switch is turned
to the “ON” position or
the operation mode is put in ON. The SRS warning light will co
me on for several sec-
onds and then go out. This is normal and means the system is working properly.If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning light will come on and stay on. At the same time, thewarning display will
appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display (Type 1 only).The SRS warning light/display is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe fr
ontal impact. A typical
condition is shown in the illustration to the left. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderateto severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration to the right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is above a sp
ecific threshold level.
The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal co
llision straight into a
solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. Thisthreshold level may also
be higher if the vehi-
cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehi
cle, a pole or a guard
rail). The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful, and can cause serious injury or death if you are too clos
e to the deploying air-
bag. Accordingly, it is important that youalways wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the impact anddeform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air- bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the oc
cupant in all types of
frontal collisions, be su
re to always wear your
seat belts properly.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy if the underside of the vehiclesuffers a moderate to
severe impact (under-
carriage impact). Some
typical situations are
shown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts, as show
n in the illustrations,
and these unexpected
impacts can move you
out of position, it is
important to always wear
your seat belts properly.
When worn properly,
seat belts can help maintain your distance from the airbags when they begin to inflate. The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close to the deploying airbag.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when …

WA R N I N G Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-rial, badges, etc. These could strike andinjure 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 infl

The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. TheSRS side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of alloccupants, be sure to
always wear your seat
belts properly. In certain types of side
collisions, the side air-
bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to belarge, because the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. Thereare also cases where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag may not de
ploy at the same time,
depending on the location of the impact.Some typical situations
where the side air-
bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations.
Since the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant
in all types of side
collisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.
The side airbag and curtain airbag are not designed to deploy in situations where theycannot provide protecti
on to the occupants.

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per-formed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do any service, inspection, maintenanceor repair on any SRS components or wir- ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or disposed byanyone except an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Improper work methods on the SRS com-ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deployment or could make the SRS inoperable. Ei
ther of these situa-
tions 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 thesteering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure can adversely affect SR
S performance and
may lead to injury. If your vehicle has re
ceived any damage,
you should have the
SRS inspected by an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer to
make sure it is in proper working order.
 Do not modify your fron
t seats, center pil-
lar or center console. Such modificationscan adversely affect
SRS performance and
may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should
have the SRS inspecte
d by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.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 applicable sec- tions 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 canbe made safe for disposal.  If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by
a handicapped person,
the advanced airbag sy
stem will be greatly
affected. Please consult an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer. •Driver’s seat • Front passenger seat • Front seat beltWA R N I N G
