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 and
deform 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 are not designed to deploy in situations where
they cannot provide protection to the occu- pants.Some typical situations are shown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the oc

of collisions, be sure
to always wear your seat
belts properly.

The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillar, the rear pillar and the side sections of the roof.The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the ve
hicle that is impacted,
even with no passenger in the seat.Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will 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 from a deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
second row seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special careshould be taken with children.
 Do not place any objects around the area where 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 additional trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbagdeployment. Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where the curtain 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 inflate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.WA R N I N G

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
WA R N I N G Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed 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 sharp objects 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 restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible, andmake sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained and away from the door.
 Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if thechild is seated in a child restraint system.The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if the 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 a serious injury or death. Improper work methods 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. Do not place luggage
heavier than the
specified on the roof carrier. Such luggage may caus
e the curtain air-
bags to inflate acci
dentally, which could
result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

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
stem will be greatly

Wind buffeting can be described as the per-ception of pressure on the ears or a boomingor rumbling sound. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting when driving with one or both rear door windows down or partially opened.This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
N00511001682
The sunroof can be ope
ned and closed with
the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON.
WA R N I N G Before driving with a child in the vehicle, be sure to lock the window switch to makeit inoperative. Children tampering withthe switch could easily trap their hands or heads in the window.
Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window only)
WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled.If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There-fore be especially care
ful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately trap your hands or head in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by trapped hand or head.  If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for power window is replaced, thesafety mechanism will
be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically open/close completely.If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully closed.Following this, release the switch, raise theswitch once again and hold it in this condi- tion for at least 1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’sdoor window in the normal function.CAUTION
