NOTE●It is possible to prevent the driver’s door switches from

window and rear door windows while the lock switch is

For details, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBI-
SHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Timer function

The door windows can be opened or closed for 30 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned off. If the driver’s door is
opened during this period, the door window can be opened or
closed for another 30 seconds.
However, once the driver’s door is closed, the windows cannot
be operated.
Safety mechanism
E00302500029
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window, it will lower
automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head or hand out
of the window when closing a window.
The lowered window will become operational after a few sec-
onds.
WARNING
!●If the safety mechanism is activated three or more
times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem-
porarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious injury could
result.
CAUTION
!●The safety mechanism is cancelled just before the
window is fully closed. This allows the window to
close completely. Therefore be especially careful that
no fingers are trapped in the window.

NOTE●The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the door windows to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.
●If the safety mechanism is activated three or more times in
a row, the safety mechanism will be cancelled and the
door window will not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure should be imple-
mented to rectify this situation. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the appropriate window switch until that
window has been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this con-
dition for at least one second, then release it. You should
now be able to operate all windows in the normal fashion.

WARNING
!●IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering
wheel or instrument panel during air bag deploy-
ment can be killed or seriously injured.
Air bags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the air bags may not protect
you properly, and could cause serious or fatal inju-
ries when it inflates.
• Before driving, adjust the driver’s seat as far back
as possible while still maintaining complete control
of the vehicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passenger seat as
far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are always prop-
erly restrained using the available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the driver and
passenger should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
WARNING
!●Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean head or
chest close to the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the instrument
panel.●Place all infants and small children in the rear seat
and properly restrained using an appropriate child
restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest for infants and children.

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 automated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The air bags deployment produces a sudden, 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 deployment, 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 detecting an impact to
deflation of the air bags after deployment is shorter than a blink
of an eye.8- Side air bag modules
9- Curtain air bag modules
10- Side impact sensors
CAUTION
!●Air bags inflate at an extremely rapid speed. In cer-
tain situations, contact with inflating air bags can
result in abrasions, light cuts, bruises, and the like.
