IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED. A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
 Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection, and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
 To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s air-
bag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
 Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system.
WA R N I N G
!

Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean your head
or chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument
panel.


Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.

WA R N I N G
!

Infants and small children should never ride unre-
strained, or lean against the instrument panel. They
should never ride held in your arms or on your lap.
They can be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent, especially when the airbags inflate. Seat all
infants and children in the rear seat, properly
restrained in an appropriate child restraint system.
Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 2-49.
WA R N I N G
!

NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in
the front passenger seat. This places the infant too
close to the passenger airbag. During deployment of
that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or
killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant
restraint systems must only be used in the second
row seat.Airbag

Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900177
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information
it receives from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor,
the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-69.
Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000289
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 air-
bag 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 2-68.
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 2-69.
WA R N I N G
!

If the SRS warning light or warning display comes
on, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.


Please observe the following instructions to ensure
that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate
correctly. Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-5.
 Do not recline the seatback more than necessary
when driving.
 Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the
front seat.


If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the
SRS sensors inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
!

If any of the following conditions occur, you should
have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible: The SRS warning light does not initially come on

 The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
 The SRS warning light comes on while you are
driving.

Passenger’s airbag off indicator
N00418100264
The passenger airbag off indicator is located in the instrument
panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the key is turned to the
“ON” position and goes out a few seconds later. In the follow-
ing situations, the indicator will stay on to show that the pas-
senger front airbag is not operational.

The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately about 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front
passenger seat.


The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately about 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the
indicator goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag is
operational.
WA R N I N G

If any of the following conditions occur, you should
have the airbag system in your vehicle inspected by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as
possible: The passenger’s airbag off indicator comes on
when an adult is sitting on the front passenger
seat.
 The passenger’s airbag off indicator does not come
on when the front passenger seat is not occupied.
 The passenger’s airbag off indicator does not come
on when the key is turned to the “ON” position.
 The passenger’s airbag off indicator comes on and
goes out repeatedly.

makes the passenger’s airbag off indicator difficult
or impossible to see.

bag system.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
N00407900288
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove compart-
ment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are
designed to deploy at the same time. However, the front pas-
senger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat
is not occupied or when the weight sensor in the front passen-
ger seat senses a weight on the seat of less than approximately
about 66 pounds (30 kg).

Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s pad-
ded cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. These
could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag
inflates.


Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove compartment.
Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the
airbag inflates.
WA R N I N G
!

Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of,
the windshield. They could restrict the airbag infla-
tion, or strike and injure an occupant, when the air-
bag inflates.


Do not place objects, such as packages or pets,
between the airbags and the driver or the front pas-
senger. Such objects can adversely affect airbag per-
formance, or cause 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 be burned.


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 air-
bag system must be inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.
