2 Quick indexAnti-lock braking system warning light

When this light comes on, the anti-lock braking system is not functioning and
only the ordinary braking system is functioning.

Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Test the system as described on page 3-98.

If the light does not go out after the test, or if it comes on again, we recom-
mend that you have the system checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. P. 3-98
SRS warning light

It is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommend that
you have the airbag and the pre-tensioner seat belt system checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible. P. 2-52
Tire pressure monitoring system warning light

If the warning light comes on, you should stop and adjust the tires to the
proper inflation pressure as soon as possible.
(See “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-27.)
Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will go off after a few
minutes of driving.

If the warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then remains con-
tinuously illuminated, the system is not operating properly. If the system
returns to normal, the warning light will go off. If the warning light does not
go off, have the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. P. 3 - 1 1 5

Extending a luggage compartment
N00405500105
NOTE

When the seatback of a front seat is reclined, return it to
the upright position before driving.
WARNING
!
Never adjust the seats to extend a luggage compart-
ment while the vehicle is in motion or on a slope.
The seats could move suddenly and cause serious
injury or an accident.
After returning a seatback to its normal position,
make sure that the seatback is firmly secured. If the
seatback is not secured, it could move and cause a
serious accident.
Do not allow anyone to ride in the luggage compart-
ment while the vehicle is in motion. People who are
not properly seated and restrained can be seriously
injured or killed in an accident.
The luggage compartment in the rear of the vehicle
should never be used as a play area by children. All
children should be properly restrained in a restraint
device that offers the maximum protection for their
size and age. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on
page 2-31.

The front passenger seat is equipped with weight
sensors. Depending on the weight detected, the front
passenger airbag is disabled or enabled. When fold-
ing the rear seats forward for increased cargo
capacity, the front passenger seat and seatback must
be adjusted to assure they are not contacting the
rear seat. In the event the front seat or seatback is
allowed to contact the folded rear seat, proper oper-
ation of the front passenger airbag system may be
affected.
CAUTION
!
In the luggage compartment, do not load the luggage
higher than the top of the seats and make sure that
the luggage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision
or unsecured objects entering the passenger com-
partment from the luggage compartment during
sudden braking can cause serious injury or an acci-
dent.
Seatbacks should always be folded and put back into
normal position by an adult. Seat adjustments by a
child could lead to an unexpected accident.
When adjusting the seats, be careful not to catch
your hand or leg. Personal injury could result.

SRS warning
N00408700081
This warning light tells you if there is a problem involving the
SRS airbags and the seat belt pre-tensioner system. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 2-52.Force limiter system
N00408900126
In the event of an accident, the seat belt force limiter system
will help reduce the force applied to the driver and front seat
passenger.
Child restraint systems
N00407100701
When transporting infants or small children in your vehicle, an
appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is
required by law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and
small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose
only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it com-
plies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS
213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions
Safety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufacturer’s state-
ment of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropriate for your
child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your vehi-
cle’s seat.
For detail information, refer to the instruction manual accom-
panying the child restraint system.Guidelines for child restraint system selectionAll children should be properly restrained in a restraint device
that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.
Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for
child size and age that may vary from the recommendations
listed below.
Children less than 1 year old and children less than 20
pounds (9 kg) MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat
that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.

Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than
40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm)
tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the
rear seat.

Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000322
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the airbag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The airbag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front
airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when
the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger airbag off indica-
tor will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-51.
If there is a problem involving the passenger seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-52.
WARNING
!
If any of the following conditions occur, you should
have your vehicle inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible:
• The SRS warning light does not initially come on
when the ignition switch or the operation mode is
under the following conditions.
• [Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.- key]
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 SRS warning light does not go out after sev- eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while you are
driving.

To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s airbag system.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary.
• Never have more than one person (adult or child) sitting on the seat.
• Do not place anything between the seat and the floor console.

Passenger’s airbag off indicator
N00418100280
The passenger airbag off indicator is located in the instrument
panel.
The indicator normally 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 situa-
tions, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger front
airbag is not operational.
The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passen-
ger seat.

The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator
goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag is opera-
tional.
