The SRS includes the following components:
WA R N I N G NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This pl
aces the infant too
close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously inju
red or killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be usedin the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward po
sition and make sure
the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with thei
r seat belt properly
worn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed. Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint systems” on page 4-32.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following condi
tions. These include
all of the item
s listed above a
nd 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 airbags will operate under the same con- ditions 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 the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags 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 ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag wasinflated. 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.

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 hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’
s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to
record data related to
vehicle dynamics 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 pas- senger safety belts
were 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 which crashes and injuries occur.

CAUTION Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In certain situ
ations, contact with an
inflating airbag may cause small cuts, abra- sions, and bruises.

The passenger’s airbag off indicator is located in the instrument panel. The indicator normall
y comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes out a few seconds later. In the following situ-ations, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger front airb
ag is not operational.
 The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
 The system senses that a child is using a child restraint system on the front passen-ger’s seat.
When the passenger’s seat occupant classifi- cation sensor sy
stem sense there is a person
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the indi-cator goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.

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 fro
ntal impact. A typical
condition is shown in th
e illustration to the
left. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration tothe right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does
not bend or deform. If
the impact to the vehicle’s main structure isbelow this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. This threshold 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 the most 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 fr
ont collisions, the front
airbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, be
cause 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 occupant in all types offrontal 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 ce
rtain 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 side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to seve
re side impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment.A typical situation is shown in the illustra- tion. The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. The
SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide
additional protection.
Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, 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 be large, 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 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 do not protect the occupant
in all types of side
collisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.

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 SR
S 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 meth
ods 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 Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to
make sure it is in
proper work
ing order.
