rides in this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-26.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury in all collisions,and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate. During sudden brakin
g just before a col-
lision, an unrestra
ined or improperly
restrained driver or front passenger can move forward into di
rect contact with, or
within close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate. The beginning stage of
airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes in contact with the ai
rbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions because the air- bags are not designed
to inflate in those
situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can beseriously injure
d or killed.
• Airbags inflate ve
ry quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas- senger are not properly seated and restrained, the airbag may not providethe proper protection, and can cause serious injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, al
ways properly wear
your seat belt and ad
just the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining a position that still
allows the driver to
have good control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle con-
trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy-ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the passenger always we
ars the seat belt
properly, remains seat
ed upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrain
ed in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.
WA R N I N G Airbags inflate very
quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of theseat or sit with your
lower legs too close to
the instrument panel,
or lean your head or
chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument panel. Do not put your feet or
legs on or against
the instrument panel.

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 at the same time. However, the front passen- ger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat is not occupied or when the system senses that a child is in the childrestraint system.

The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steering wheel. The driver’s knee airbag is
designed to deploy at
the same time as the
driver’s front airbag.

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 front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when …

ed median/island or
curb Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
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 wind
shield. They could
restrict the airbag infl
ation, or strike and
injure an occupant, when the airbag inflates.

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
received any damage,
you should have the
SRS inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to
make sure it is in
proper work
ing order.
Do not modify your front 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 an
y scratch, crack or
damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should
have the SRS inspected 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

Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lowerWhen the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector leverin the “D” (DRIVE) position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation. The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine performance.
