improperly.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT:
The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant
in a vehicle crash.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front
safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for
any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are
operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle,
tugging on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, and
then pressing the release button. The latch plate should pop out of
the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows
a sign of breaking or cracking or if either buckle fails to operate
properly, owners should promptly contact their authorized dealer to
schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free
of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent
failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon
service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a
reasonable time, please contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037. Also
contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto
Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration operates Monday
through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Eastern Time. For more
information call (800) 424-9393 or (202) 366-0123. For the hearing

TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE VERIFICATION INFORMATION
TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE CAUTION
NOTE: CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELTS OR TIMING BELTS - The condition of
camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles
which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some
manufacturers do not recommend replacement at a specified
mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A
camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to
internal engine components on most engines, although some
designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs
are often called "Free Wheeling". Many manufacturers changed
their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to
reflect timing belt inspection and/or replacement at
50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules shown in
this section reflect these changes. Belts or components
should be inspected and replaced if any of the following
conditions exist:
* Crack Or Tears In Belt Surface
* Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
* Oil Contamination
* Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
* Incorrect Tension Adjustment

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON
position from passenger's side of vehicle in case of
accidental air bag inflation
AIR CONDITIONING SERVICING
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems SHOULD NOT
be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some
mixtures of air/R134a have shown to be combustible at
elevated pressures. These mixtures are dangerous and may
cause fire and/or explosions. See the appropriate
A/C SYSTEM GENERAL SERVICING article in the AIR CONDITIONING
& HEAT section.
