Pretensioner system
E00405802523
When the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON, if there is a frontal impact or a side impact severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, the pretension- er system will retract their respective seat
belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness.
WARNINGl To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTIONl Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could affect the pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pretensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.NOTEl The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.SRS warning

to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406403507
When transporting children in your vehicle,some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil-
dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint system
to the rear seat, prevent the front seat- backs from touching the child restraintsystem.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.

it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.
l Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi- tion, do not modify, remove or install the seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not
be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.WARNINGl A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.Supplemental restraint
system (SRS)-airbag E00407203645
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are designed to supplement the primary pro-
tection of the driver and front passenger side
seat belt systems by providing those occu- pants with protection against head and chestinjuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal
collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protectionin certain moderate-to-severe frontal colli- sions.
The SRS side airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the
driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries in certain moderate-to-
severe side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup-
plement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection
against head injuries in certain moderate-to-
severe side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur- ing all types of collisions and accidents, all occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works

Front passenger’s airbag indi-cator
E00410201528
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is lo-
cated in the instrument panel.
The both indicator normally comes on when
the operation mode of the power switch is put
in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. When the front pas-
senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi- nute to show that the front passenger’s airbagis operational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301259WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF, before operating
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after putting the operation mode
in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so could lead to improper position of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.WARNING• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a child restraint system is fitted to the
front passenger seat.
• If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON- OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a

SRS warning lamp/display
E00407803191
There is a Supplemental Restraint System(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time
the operation mode of the power switch is put in ON. The SRS warning lamp will come on
for several seconds 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 lamp will come on and stay on. At the same time, thewarning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
The SRS warning lamp/display is shared by
the SRS airbag and the seat belt pretensioner system.
WARNINGl If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS air- bags and/or seat belt pretensioners, and they may not function properly in a colli-
sion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
• Even when the operation mode is in
ON, the SRS warning lamp does not come on or it remains on.
• The SRS warning lamp and/or the
warning display comes on while driv- ing.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pretension- ers are designed to help reduce the risk of
serious injury or death in certain colli- sions. If either of the above conditions oc-
curs, immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.SRS servicing
E00407902658WARNINGl We recommend any maintenance per-
formed on or near the components of the
SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI
