Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup-ports the use of reform
ulated gasoline. Prop-
erly blended reformul
ated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or thedurability of the engine and the fuel system.MMT is a manganese-containing metallicadditive that is blende
d into some gasolines
to increase the octa
ne number. Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-lines without MMT.Use of gasolines blended with MMT mayadversely affect performance, and cause themalfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have
been designed to sat-
isfy California’s low-emission regulationsbased on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.Gasoline sold in parts of the country otherthan California is allowed to have a highersulfur content. Using such gasoline couldadversely affect the ve
hicle’s catalytic con-
verter and cause the e
ngine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”)
to come on. Illumina-
tion of this indicator
while using high-sulfur
gasoline does not necessa
rily mean the vehi-
cle’s emission-control
system is malfunction-
ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer may suggest using a different, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter-mine if the problem is fuel-related.
N00301101994
MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline
can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling during idling,abnormal engine noise
, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob-lems, try using a differ
ent brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunc
tion indicator (“SER-
VICE ENGINE SOON” light”) flashes, have
the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.
Repeatedly driving s
hort distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resu
lting in hard starting
and poor acceleration.
If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel thevehicle. The additive
will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure
to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleani
ng additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an enginemalfunction. For details,
please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

WA R N I N GWhen handling fuel, comply with thesafety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations.Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. Whenrefueling your vehicle,
always turn the
engine off and keep
away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Alwayshandle fuel in well-ventilated outdoorareas.NOTE

The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning ofthe vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac-tors (A) and in the front
passenger se
at’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension-ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing andincrease seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]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-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,some smoke is released
and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]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 opera
te under the same con-
ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficientfront or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rolloverof the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed.When airbags deploy, so
me smoke is released
accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke isnot harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so youmay not even notice that the airbag wasinflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driverfrom seeing or being able to steer the vehicle,and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less.The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch data as:How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;Whether or not the driver and front pas-senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they haveaccess to the vehicle or the EDR.
N00417900177
The driver’s seat position sensor is attachedto the seat rail and provides the airbag controlunit with information on the seat’s fore-aftposition. The airbag control unit controlsdeployment of the driver’s front airbag inaccordance with the information it receivesfrom this sensor.If there is a problem involving the driver’sseat position sensor, the SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light/dis
play” on page 4-41.

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.
