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 goesout a few seconds later. In the following situ- ations, 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 66pounds (30 kg) on the front passenger seat.  The front passenger’s seat is not occu- pied.
When the weight applied to the front passen- ger seat is sensed to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator goesout to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.
 To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors can correctly sense the weight being applied to the seat, observe the fol- lowing instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect the per-formance of the passenger’s airbag sys- tem.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back against the seatback. Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary.• Never have more than one person (adultor child) sitting on the seat.• Do not place anything between the seatand the floor console.• Do not hang anything on the front pas-senger’s seatback.• Do not remove the head restraints.• When attaching a child restraint system, secure it firmly.• Do not place luggage or other objects onthe seat.• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not remove the seats and seat belts.• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place the floor mat on the seatrails.WA R N I N G
• Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.• Do not subject the sensors to shock.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to pushthe front passenger seat with their feet or force the front passenger seat upward.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to graspthe front passenger’s seatback or puttheir arms around it.• When attaching a child restraint systemin the rear seat, make sure it does not interfere with the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensors inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer assoon as possible.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. Typical situations are shown in the illustration above. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration tothe right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main
structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may not deploy. This
threshold level may also be higher if the vehi- cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guardrail).
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close to
the deploying airbag.
Accordingly, it is important that you alwayswear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure 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 deployare shown in the illustrations. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wearyour seat belts properly.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy if the underside of the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe impact (under- carriage impact). Typical situations areshown in the illustration. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts, as shown in the illustrations, and these unexpected impacts can move youout of position, it is important to always wear the seat belts properly. When worn properly, seat belts can help maintain your distancefrom the airbags when they begin to inflate.

Your vehicle is equipped with a curtain air-bag in the front pillar, the rear pillar and theside sections of the roof. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted,even with no passenger in the seat. Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbagswill deploy.
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to remove, install, disas- semble or repair the SRS airbags. Do not place objects, such as packages or pets, between the airbags and the driver or the front passenger. Such objects can adversely affect airbag performance, orcause serious injury or death when the airbag deploys. Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the airbag system will be hot. Do not touch them. You could otherwise beburned. The airbag system is designed to work only once. After the airbags deploy, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire airbag systemmust be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

WA R N I N G Side airbags and curtain airbags can cause serious injury or death to anyone too close to the airbag when it deploys. To reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag or curtain airbag, driver andfront passenger must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the middle of the seat. Do not leanagainst the door.WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag, do not allow anyrear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should be taken with children.
 Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Such objects 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. Theycan interfere with proper side airbag deployment. Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where the curtain airbag (B) deploys, such as on thewindshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the curtain airbag inflates, the microphone orother object may be hurled with great force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or seriousinjury.WA R N I N G
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 item could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag frominflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharpobjects in the pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook. Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have side airbags. Covers can inter- fere with proper side airbag deploymentand adversely affect side airbag perfor- mance. Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ONLY 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, and make sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door.

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.The 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 SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags and curtain airbags are designed toprovide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear your seat belts properly. In certain types of side collisions, the side air- bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. There are also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy at the same time, depending on the location of the impact. Some typical situations where the side air-bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.
 Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the section of theseatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if
the side airbag or curtain airbag deploys.Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious injury or death to the child. Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag or curtain airbag componentsshould be done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a serious injury or death. Improperwork methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or curtain airbaginoperable. Either of these situations could result in serious injury or death. Do not place luggage heavier than the specified on the roof carrier. Such luggage may cause the curtain air-bags to inflate accidentally, which could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G
