There is a Supplemen
tal 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 orthe operation mode is put in ON. The SRSwarning light will come on for several sec-
onds and then go out. This is normal andmeans the system is working properly.If there is a problem
involving one or more of
the SRS components, the warning light willcome on and stay on. At
the same time, the
warning display will appear on the informa-tion screen in the multi information display(Type 1 only).The SRS warning light/display is shared bythe SRS airbag and the se
at belt pre-tensioner
system.
WA R N I N GIf any of the following conditions occur,you should immediat
ely have the airbag
system in your vehicle inspected by anauthorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as
soon as possible:• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on when an adul
t is sitting on the
front passenger seat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the front passengerseat is not occupied.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the ignition switch isturned to the “ON” position or the oper-ation mode is put in ON.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when a
child is in a child
restraint system on the front passenger’sseat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on and goes out repeatedly.
Do not attach any accessory to your vehi-cle that makes the passenger’s airbag offindicator difficult or
impossible to see.
You must be able to see the passenger’sairbag off indicator an
d verify the status
of the passenger’s airbag system.

The driver’s airbag is located under the pad-ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel.The front passenger’s ai
rbag is contained in
the instrument panel above the glove com-partment. The driver’s airbag and the frontpassenger’s airbag are designed to deploy atthe same time. However, the front passen-ger’s airbag does not deploy when the frontpassenger seat is not occupied or when thesystem senses that a child is in the childrestraint system.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe fro
ntal impact. A typical
condition is shown in th
e illustration to the
left.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy only in certain moderateto severe frontal collisions within the shadedarea between the arrows in the illustration tothe right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbagwill deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s mainstructure is above a sp
ecific threshold level.
The threshold level is
approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into asolid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure isbelow this threshold le
vel, 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 you
always wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the frontairbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the bodyseems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to
absorb the impact and
deform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare 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 airbagmay deploy if the underside of the vehiclesuffers a moderate to
severe impact (under-
carriage impact). Some typical situations areshown in the illustration.Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air-bag may deploy in ce
rtain types of unex-
pected impacts, as show
n in the illustrations,
and these unexpected impacts can move youout of position, it is
important to always wear
your seat belts properly. When worn properly,seat belts can help maintain your distancefrom the airbags when they begin to inflate.The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful and can cause serious injury ordeath if you are close to the deploying airbag.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when …

The side airbags (A) are contained in thedriver and front passenger seatbacks.The side airbag is de
signed to inflate only on
the side of the vehicle that is impacted, evenwith no passenger in the front seat.A label is attached to the seatbacks in vehi-cles equipped with side airbags.
Do not attach addition
al keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or
heavy objects) to the
ignition key. Such objects could preventthe driver’s knee ai
rbag from inflation
normally or could be propelled to causeserious injury if
the airbag inflates.
Do not attach accessories to the lower por-tion of the driver’s side instrument panel.Such objects could prevent the driver’sknee airbag from inflating normally orcould be propelled to cause serious injuryif the airbag inflates.WA R N I N GDo not attempt to remove, install, disas-semble or repair the SRS airbags.WA R N I N G
Do not place objects,
such as packages or
pets, between the airbags and the driveror the front passenger. Such objects canadversely affect ai
rbag performance, or
cause serious injury or death when theairbag deploys.Immediately after airbag inflation, someparts of the airbag syst
em will be hot. Do
not touch them. You could otherwise beburned.The airbag system is designed to workonly once. After the
airbags deploy, they
will not work again. They must promptlybe replaced and the
entire airbag system

The curtain airbags are contained in the frontpillar, the rear pillar and the side sections ofthe roof.The curtain airbag is designed to inflate onlyon the side of the ve
hicle that is impacted,
even with no passenger in the seat.Also, when the airbag control unit detectsrollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbagswill deploy.Curtain airbag system
WA R N I N GThe side airbags and
curtain airbags can
cause serious injury
or death to anyone
too close to the airb
ag when it deploys. To
reduce the risk of in
jury from a deploying
side airbag or curtai
n airbag, dr
iver and
front passenger must be properlyrestrained and seated well back, upright,and in the middle of
the seat. Do not lean
against the door.WA R N I N GIn order to reduce the risk of injury froma deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
second row seat passengers to hold ontothe back of either front seat. Special careshould be taken with children.
Do not place any objects around the areawhere the side airbags deploy. Suchobjects can interfere with proper side air-bag deployment, and
cause injury during
deployment of the side airbag.Do not place stickers, labels or additionaltrim on the back of either front seat. Theycan interfere with proper side airbagdeployment.Do not attach a microphone (A) or anyother object around the part where thecurtain airbag (B) depl
oys, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front andrear 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 inflatecorrectly, resulting in death or seriousinjury.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag aredesigned to deploy when the vehicle suffers amoderate to seve
re side impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment.Also when the vehicle
detects rollover of the
vehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy.Typical situations are shown in the illustra-tion.
WA R N I N GDo not put a hanger or any heavy orpointed object on the coat hook. If the cur-tain airbag was activated, any such itemcould be propelled aw
ay with great force
and could prevent th
e curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directlyon the coat hook (without using a hanger).Make sure there are no heavy or sharpobjects in the pocket
s of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.Do not install seat cove
rs or re-cover seats
that have side airbag
s. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance.Never install a rear-facing child restraintsystem in the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat.Front-facing child restraint systemsshould also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint systemmust be used in the front passenger seat,move the seat as far back as possible, andmake sure that the child stays in the childrestraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sitclose to the passenger door, even if thechild is seated in a child restraint system.The child’s head should also not leanagainst or be close to the section of theseatback where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag are located. It is dangerous ifthe side airbag or cu
rtain airbag deploys.
Failure to follow all of these instructionscould lead to serious in
jury or death to the
child.Work done on or in th
e vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain
airbag components
should be done only
by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of aserious injury or death. Improper workmethods can cause acci
dental side airbag
or curtain airbag depl
oyment, or render a
side airbag or curtai
n airbag inoperable.
Either of these situations could result inserious injury or death.WA R N I N G

The seat belts in your
vehicle are your pri-
mary means of protection in an accident. TheSRS side airbags and curtain airbags aredesigned to provide
additional protection.
Therefore, for your safety and the safety of alloccupants, be sure to always wear your seatbelts 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 isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deformin order to help protect the occupants. Thereare also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy at the same time,depending on the location of the impact.Some typical situations
where the side air-
bags and curtain airb
ags may not deploy are
shown in the illustrations.
Since the side airbags and curtain airbags donot protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.
The side airbag and curtain airbag are notdesigned to deploy in situations where theycannot provide protec
tion to the occupants.
