lars and roof side rail. The curt ain air bag is designed to inflate

passenger in the front seat or rear seat.
Deployment of side air bags and curtain air bagsE00407700652
The side air bags and curtain air bags ARE
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side air bags and curtain air bags are designed to deploy
when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to
the middle of the passenger compartment.
A typical situation is shown in the illustration.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of pro-
tection in a collision. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side air bags and curtain air bags are designed to provide
additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety
of all occupants, make sure that you always wear your seat
belts correctly.

WARNING!
●Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other device
or object around the part where the curtain air bags
activate, such as on the wi ndscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or assist grips.
When the curtain air bags inflate, the microphone
or other device or object wi ll be hurled with great
force or the curtain air bags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in de ath or serious injury.
WARNING!
●Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object
on the coat hook. If the cu rtain air bag is activated,
such items could be propel led away with great force
and prevent the curtain air bag from inflating cor-
rectly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (with-
out the use of a hanger). Make sure there are no
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that
you hang on the coat hook.
● Do not allow children close to or to lean against 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 or
be close to the area where the side air bags and cur-
tain air bags are located. This is dangerous if the
side air bags and curtain air bags inflate.
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 air bags system to be carried out
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. Improper work coul d result in inadvertent
deployment of side air bags and curtain air bags, or
could render side air bags and curtain air bags inop-
erative; either situation co uld result in serious
injury.

tor or any other SRS components. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications

your front seats, centre pillar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to
possible injury.

seat fabric at the portion near the side air bag, we
recommend you to have the seat inspected.
