tem works
EG29B-H
The SRS includes the following
components:
1- Air bag module (Driver)
2- Air bag module (Passenger)*
3- Air bag control unit
4- Seat belt pre-tensioner
5- Front impact sensor

The air bags will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the“ON”or“START”
position.

When the impact sensors detect an impact
of sufficient frontal or side force, an auto-
mated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The air bags deployment produces a sud-
den, loud noise, and releases some smoke
and powder, but these conditions are not
injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the
vehicle. People with respiratory problems
may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment;
open the windows after air bag deploy-
ment, if safe to do so.
The air bags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detect-
ing an impact to deflation of the air bags
after deployment is shorter than a blink of
an eye.
CAUTION
Air bags are inflated at an extremely
rapid speed. In certain situations,
contact with inflating air bags can
result in light cuts, bruises, and the
like.
G28G242A
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bag system
EG29C-D
The driver’s air bag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the steer-
ing wheel. The front passenger air bag is
contained in the instrument panel above the
upper glove box.
The driver air bag and the front passen-
ger air bag are designed to inflate at the
same time even if the passenger seat is not
occupied.

NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. It is
normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer
stops sounding after a few seconds.
If the lamp illuminates while
driving(1) Since there will always be a possibil-
ity of the vehicle becoming unstable
when brakes are applied rapidly,
ensure that brakes are applied gently
and that high-speed driving is not
attempted; furthermore, bring the
vehicle to halt in a safe location.
Restart the engine and check to see
whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off
during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up again when the vehicle
is driven, have the vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.
(2) After starting the engine using jumper
cables, if you attempt to drive the
vehicle before the battery is suffi-
ciently charged, the engine will run
irregularly and the ABS warning lamp
will illuminate indicating that the vehicle
should not be driven.
This situation, however, is caused
merely by insufficient battery voltage
and is not an abnormal situation.
If such a situation occurs, run the
engine at idle for some time to charge
the battery.
I24A119A
FrontNOTE
(1) Immediately after the vehicle starts
moving after engine start up, a brake
pedal pulsating is felt when the brake
pedal is depressed. This pulsation is
due to the self-diagnosis operation of
the ABS and does not indicate a mal-
function.
(2) After driving on snowy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have
become adhered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to dam-
age the wheel speed sensors (A) and
cables located at each wheel on
vehicles equipped with an ABS.

Front automatic air
conditioning*
EH14AOH
By setting the blower speed selection dial
and mode selection dial to the“AUT”
(AUTO) position and select the desired
temperature, the air conditioning oper-
ates to cool or warm automatically in order
to maintain the selected temperature. To
stop the air conditioning, set the blower
speed selection dial to the“
”(OFF)
position.
You can also operate it manually if neces-
sary.
The air conditioning can only be oper-
ated while the engine is running.
CAUTION
When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as
the air conditioning compressor is
switch on/off automatically. Espe-
cially for vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission, while the vehicle
is stationary, fully depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
H14B104A
NOTE
(1) There is a photo sensor, and interior air
temperature sensor inside the vehicle.
A- Photo sensor
B- Interior air temperature sensor
Never place anything on top of the
cover for these sensors, doing so will
prevent them from functioning prop-
erly.
(2) May slightly increase as the air condi-
tioning compressor is switched on/off
automatically
