The SRS includes the following components:
Only when the operation mode of the powerswitch is in ON, the airbags will operate.The airbags deployment produces a sudden,loud noise, and releases some smoke andpowder, but these conditions are not injuri-ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.People with respiratory problems may feelsome temporary irritation from chemicalsused to produce the deployment; open thewindows after airbag deployment, if safe todo so.The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-ment, so there is little danger of obscuredvision.
How the supplemental restraint system works 1- Airbag module (Passenger)2- Airbag module (Driver)3- Driver’s knee airbag module4- Side airbag modules
5- Curtain airbag modules
CAUTION zAirbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, bruises, lightcuts, and the like.
WA R N I N G zIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-ERLY SEATED.A driver or front passenger too close tothe steering wheel or instrument panelduring airbag deployment can be killed orseriously injured.Airbags inflate very
fast, and with great
force.If the driver and front passenger are notproperly seated and restrained, the air-bags may not protect you properly, andcould cause serious or fatal injuries whenit inflates.WA R N I N G zDo not sit on the edge
of the seat, or sit
with your lower legs too close to theinstrument panel, or lean head or chestclose to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel. Do not put feet or legs on or againstthe instrument panel. zPlace all infants and small children in therear seat and properly restrained using anappropriate child restraint system.The rear seat is the safest for infants andchildren.

The label shown here is attached on vehicleswith front passenger’s airbag.
E00407400792
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad-ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel.The front passenger’s airbag is contained inthe instrument panel above the glove box.The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’sairbag are designed to inflate at the same timeeven if the passenger seat is not occupied.
WA R N I N G zInfants and small children should neverbe unrestrained,
stand up against the
instrument panel or held in your arms oron your lap. They could be seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision, includingwhen the airbag inflat
es. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in anappropriate child restraint system. See the“Child restraint” section of this owner’smanual.
WA R N I N G zOlder children should be seated in therear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,with an appropriate booster seat ifneeded.
Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicle with front passenger’s airbag
WA R N I N G zExtreme Hazard!NEVER use a rearward facing childrestraint on a seat protected by anACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATHor SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD canoccur.

The driver’s knee airbag is located under thesteering wheel. The driver’s knee airbag isdesigned to deploy at the same time as thedriver’s front airbag.
E00407502700
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy when the vehicle suffers amoderate to severe frontal impact. The typi-cal condition is shown in the illustration.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbagwill deploy if the severity of impact is abovethe designed threshold level, comparable toan approximately 25 km/h collision whenimpacting straight into a solid wall that doesnot move or deform. If the severity of theimpact is below the above threshold level, thefront airbags and driver’s knee airbag maynot deploy. However, this threshold speedwill be considerably higher if the vehiclestrikes an object that absorbs the impact byeither deforming or moving (for example,another stationary vehicle, pole or a guardrail).Because frontal collisions can easily moveyou out of position, it is important to alwaysproperly wear your seat belts. Your seat beltswill help keep you a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel duringthe initial stages of airbag deployment. Theinitial stage of airbag inflation is the mostforceful, and can possibly cause serious orfatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in yourvehicle are your primary means of protectionin a collision. The SRS airbags are designedto provide additional protection. Therefore,for your safety and the safety of all occu-pants, be sure to always properly wear yourseat belts.

Wi t h ce r ta i n ty pe s o f f r o nt al col l i s i on s , t h evehicle’s body structure is designed to absorbthe shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s front area maydeform significantly as it absorbs the impact.)Under such circumstances, the front airbagsand driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre-spective of the deformation and damage tothe vehicle body.Examples of some typical conditions areshown in the illustration.
Because the front airbags and driver’s kneeairbag do not protect the occupant in all typesof frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-erly wear your seat belts.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag arenot designed to deploy in conditions wherethey cannot typically provide protection tothe occupant.Such conditions are shown in the illustration.Because the front airbags and driver’s kneeairbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbagmay deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-fers a moderate to severe impact (undercar-riage damage).Examples of some typical conditions areshown in the illustration.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY NOT DEPLOY when… 1- When colliding with a utility pole, tree
or other narrow object.
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a
truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when… 1- Rear end collisions2- Side collisions3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when… 1- Collision with an elevated
median/island or curb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pot-

Because the front airbags and driver’s kneeairbag may deploy in certain types of unex-pected impacts as shown in the illustrationthat can easily move you out of position, it isimportant to always properly wear your seatbelts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safedistance from the steering wheel and instru-ment panel during the initial stages of airbagdeployment. The initial stage of airbag infla-tion is the most forceful and can possiblycause serious or fatal injuries if you contact itat this stage.
WA R N I N G zDo not attach anything to the steeringwheel’s padded cover, such as badges oraccessories. It might strike and injure anoccupant if the airbag inflates. zDo not set anything on, or attach anythingto, the instrument
panel above the glove
box. It might strike and injure an occu-pant if the airbag inflates.
WA R N I N G zDo not attach accessories to, or put themin front of, the windscreen. These objectscould restrict the airbag inflation, orstrike and injure an occupant if the air-bags inflate. zDo not attach accessories to the lower por-tion of the driver’s side instrument panel.Such objects could prevent the driver’sknee airbag from infl
ating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injuryif the airb
ag inflates.
WA R N I N G zDo not put packages, pets or other objectsbetween the airbags
and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag per-formance, or could cause injury when theairbag inflates. zRight after the airbag inflation, severalairbag system components will be hot. Donot touch these components. There is adanger of being burnt. zThe airbag system is designed to workonly once. Once
the airbags have
deployed, they will not work again. Theymust promptly be replaced and we recom-mend you to have the entire airbag systeminspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.

Under such circumstances, the side airbagsand curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to thevehicle body. Examples of some typical con-ditions are shown in the illustration.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbagsdo not protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.The side airbags and curtain airbags are notdesigned to deploy in conditions where theycannot usually provide protection to the occu-pant.
