rectly with your back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seat” on page 2-6.
• Do not have the seatback reclined more than nec-
essary when driving.

1. Insert the key into the key opening of the appropriate air
bag ON-OFF switch, and turn that air bag ON-OFF switch
to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of that air bag
ON-OFF switch.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn the igni-
tion to “ON” position.
That air bag off indication lamp, with the word “OFF”
(depending upon which air bag has been turned off) should
illuminate. That will tell you that air bag is OFF, and will NOT
deploy. (Refer to “Front passenger’s air bag off indication
lamp” on page 2-62.)
WARNING
!●To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from the ignition switch
before operating an air bag ON-OFF switch. Fail-

ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition switch
from “ON” position to “LOCK” position.
The air bag SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag.

switch after operating that switch. Failure to do so
could lead to improper position of the air bag
ON-OFF switch.

Driver’s and passenger’s front air bag system
E00407400356
The driver’s air bag is located under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s air bag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove box.
The driver’s air bag inflates at two different rates according to
the fore-aft position of the driver’s seat and the severity of the
impact.
The front passenger’s air bag deploys at the same time as the
driver’s air bag, even if the passenger seat is not occupied, and
inflates at two different rates according to the severity of the
impact.
WARNING
!●If the indicator behaves in any of the following ways,
there may be a fault in the air bag system. We rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point
as soon as possible.
• The indicator does not come on when the front
passenger’s air bag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF.
• The indicator stays on when the front passenger’s
air bag ON-OFF switch is turned ON.
●Do not fit any accessory that makes the indicator
impossible to see, and do not cover the indicator
with a sticker. You would not be able to verify the
status of the passenger air bag system.

WARNING
!●Do not attach anything to the steering wheel padded
cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. It might
strike and injure an occupant if the air bag inflates.●Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove box. It might
strike and injure an occupant if the air bag inflates.
WARNING

the windscreen. These objects could restrict the air
bag inflation, or strike and injure an occupant if the
air bags inflate.
●Do not put packages, pets or other objects between
the air bags and the driver or front passenger. It
could affect air bag performance, or could cause
injury when the air bag inflates.●Right after the air bag inflation, several air bag sys-
tem components will be hot. Do not touch them; you
could be burned.●The air bag system is designed to work only once.
Once the air bags have deployed, they will not work
again. They must promptly be replaced, and we rec-
ommend you to have the entire air bag system
inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.

Because the side air bags and curtain air bags do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.
WARNING
!●The side air bags and curtain air bags are designed
to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in
certain side impacts. Seat belts should always be
worn properly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning against the
window or door.
WARNING
!●The side air bags and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. The driver and passenger should not put
their arms out the window, and should not lean
against the door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possibly fatal injury from the deploying side air bags
and curtain air bags.
