2Seat belt inspection
E00406300550
●Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed webbing and for
cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if detectable.
●A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral detergent in
warm water. After rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade.
Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts because this
affects their characteristics.
WARNING
!●For some types of child restraint, the locking clip (A)
should be used to help avoid personal injury during
a collision or sudden manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance with the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when the child
restraint is removed.
WARNING
!●We recommend you to have all seat belt assemblies
including retractors and attaching hardware
inspected after any collision. We recommend that
seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts
show no damage and continue to operate properly.●Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the
seat belt assemblies; we recommend you to have this
work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. Incorrect repair or replacement
could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could
result in serious injury in the event of a collision.●Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it cannot be
re-used.
It must be replaced together with the retractor.

To turn an air bag off
E00410600118
To turn an air bag off, follow these steps:
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-
ure to do so could adversely affect the air bag per-
formance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the air bag
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.
• Always remove the key from an air bag ON-OFF
switch after operating that switch. Failure to do so
could lead to improper position of the air bag
ON-OFF switch.
