SRS servicing
EG29G-A
The entire SRS including air bag and
pre-tensioner seat belt must be inspected
by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer after
10 years.
WARNING
(1) Any maintenance performed on
or near the components of the
SRS must be performed only by
an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer. Do not permit anyone
else to do service, inspection,
maintenance or repair on any
SRS components or wiring;
similarly, no part of the SRS
should ever be handled or dis-
posed of by anyone except an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
Improper work on the SRS com-
ponents or wiring could result in
inadvertent deployment of the air
bags, or could render the SRS
inoperative; either situation
could result in serious injury.
(2) Do not modify your steering
wheel, seat belt retractor or any
other SRS components. For
example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifica-
tions to the front bumper or
body structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
WARNING
(3) If your vehicle has received any
front-end damage, you should
have the SRS inspected by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer to
ensure it is in proper working
order.
(4) On vehicles with the side air
bags, do not modify your front
seats centre pillar and centre
console.
It can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
Also, if you have found any tear
or open seam in the seat fabric
at the portion near the side air
bag, have the seat inspected at
an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.
(5) On vehicles with the side air
bags, if your vehicles has
received any damage to either
side, you should have the SRS
inspected by an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer to ensure it is in
proper working order.NOTE
(1) When you transfer ownership of the
vehicle to some other person, we urge
you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that
owner to the applicable section in this
owner’s handbook.
(2) If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge
you to first take the vehicle to an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer so that the
SRS can be rendered safe.

cigarette lighter and other electrical
devices can be operated.
3- The engine is running, and all the vehi-
cle’s electrical devices can be oper-
ated.
4- The starter motor operates. After the
engine has started, release the key and
it will automatically return to the“ON”

A/TNOTE
(1) For vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion, when removing the key, push the
key at the“ACC”position and keep it
depressed until it is turned to the
“LOCK”position, and remove it.
For vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission, when removing the key, first
set the selector lever to the“P”(PARK)

(3) For vehicles equipped with the Day-
time Running Lamp, when the igni-
tion switch is“ON”, the headlamp low
beams etc. are turned on.
Refer to“Headlamps”.
(4) As your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, to start the
engine, the ID code which the tran-
sponder inside the key sends must
match the one registered to the immo-
bilizer computer. (Refer to page 2-2).
CAUTION
(1) Do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while
driving. The steering wheel will
be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
(2) If the engine is stopped while
driving, the brake servomecha-
nism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, power steering sys-
tem will not function and it will
require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
(3) Do not leave the key in the“ON”
position for a long time when the
engine is not running; doing so
will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
(4) Do not turn the key to the
“START”position when the
engine is running; doing so
could damage the starter motor.

How to lock and unlock the steer-
ing wheel
EI01B-K
To lock
Remove the key at the“LOCK”position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the“ACC”position while
moving the steering wheel slightly.
CAUTION
Remove the key when leaving the
vehicle.
NOTE
If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the key from“LOCK”to“ACC”. Firmly turn
the steering wheel to the left or to the right
as you turn the key.
Starting
EI02FOH
Tips for starting(1) Do not operate the starter motor con-
tinuously for anything longer than 10
seconds; doing so could run down the
battery. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to“LOCK”, wait
a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor
still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
(2) If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, refer to the
“Emergency starting”section for
instructions on starting the engine.
(3) The engine is well warmed up if the
coolant temperature gauge needle
starts to move (the engine speed
decreases). Extended warming-up
operation will result in excessive fuel
consumption.
WARNING
Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer
than is needed to move your vehicle
in or out the area. Carbon monox-
ide gases are odorless and can be
fatal.

CAUTION
(1) Do not operate the transfer shift
lever while the rear wheels of the
vehicle are slipping on a snow
covered road.
(2) Do not drive your vehicle in the
“4H”or“4L”position on paved
roads and highway; this would
result in early wear of the tyres,
increased fuel consumption and
possible noise generation.
It may also increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting
in possible damage to the driv-
ing system parts. It is neces-
sary to operate the lever“2H”
position while driving under
these condition.NOTE
(1) When shifting from“2H”to“4H”soon
after driving the vehicle in a cold
weather area, the transmission gear
may make a noise. So try to shift the
gear while the vehicle is stopped.
(2) The 4WD operation indication lamp will
go out momentarily during shifting pro-
cess from“4H”to“4L”or vice versa, as
the shift lever passes through the neu-
tral position.
Be sure to operate the shift lever until
the 2WD/4WD operation indication
lamp illuminates again.
(3) There may be a case that the trans-
fer shift lever feels heavy when it is
moved from“4H”to“2H”with the steer-
ing wheel in turned position. This is nor-
mal and not any indication of trouble.
