e front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove box. The driver’s airbag inflates at
two different rates according to
the severity of the impact. The front passenger’s airbag de

SRS warning lamp
E00407800129
There is a supplemental restra
int system (“SRS”) warning lamp
on the instrument panel. The sy
stem checks itself and the lamp
tells you if there is a problem.
When the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” or “START” position, the warning lamp shouldilluminate for several seconds and then should go out. This means the system is ready. If
an SRS airbag or pre-tensioner
seat belt is not operating properly, the warning lamp illumi-nates and stays on. The SRS warning lamp is shared by the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and the
seat belt pre-tensioner system.
WARNING
!●
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook.If the curtain airbag was
activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag
from inflating correctly.
Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without
using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in thepockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
●
Do not allow the child to lean against or close to the front door even if the ch
ild is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not be leaned against orbe close to the area where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located. It
is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain airbag inflates.Failure to follow all these
instructions
could lead to
serious or fatal injury to the child.
●
We recommend work around and on the side air- bags and curtain airbags system to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Auth
orized Service Point.

Floor mats Carrying children in the vehicle
●
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition and children inside the vehicle. Children mayplay with the driving controls
and this could lead to an
accident.
●
Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection
in case of an accident.
●
Prevent children fr
om playing in the luggage compart-
ment. It is quite dangerous to allow them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggageWhen loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous no
t only because rearward vision
will be obstructed, but also the luggage may be projected into the passenger compartment under hard braking.
WARNING
!●
Keep floor mats clear of th
e pedals by correctly lay-
ing floor mats that are suitable for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of posi- tion, securely retain th
em using the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of an
other can obstruct pedal
operation and lead to a serious accident.
