•The seat frame and head restraint have been
installed to the proper positions to minimize the
severity of whiplash injury at rear-end collision at
a low speed. (Whiplash injury reduction seat
structure)
•The overall height mechanism raises and lowers
the seat cushion together with the seatback, thus
the driver's posture is always kept at the best
position, resulting in the improved riding comfort.
•The pump-type height lever has been adopted for
easier operation with a light force by the vertical
adjustment system. Also, the height adjustment
amount has been increased for more optimum
driving position.
•The variable hardness pad has been adopted for
the sporty-look seat with increased bucket
amount of side bolster in order to establish the
sporty shape with support function , and
the standard shape which is basic and for actual
use and comfortable driving.
•Heated seats are available for the driver's and
passenger's seats.
•The genuine leather for the seat has been
upgraded to enhance the texture and luxury feel

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING
•Improper service or maintenance of an y component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver and
passenger (from renderin g the SRS inoperative).
•Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
•MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any
SRS-related component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS air bag control unit, SRS warning light, front impact sensors, driver’s and
passenger’s (front) air bag modules, knee air bag module, side-airbag module, curtain air bag module, side impact sensors,
seat belt pre-tensioners, clock spring, and interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2260000100819
For the front axle, a double-row angular contact ball
bearing with an integral oil seal is adopted as a
wheel bearing, and EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity
joint as a driveshaft.
It has the following features:
•The driveshaft incorporates lightweight and com-
pact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joints.
•Lead-free grease for the constant velocity joint is
adopted.
•Hexavalent chromium is eliminated from the dust
cover material.
•The number of parts is reduced by integrating the
magnetic encoder for ABS wheel speed detection
into the wheel bearing.
NOTE: .
ETJ (High Efficiency Compact Tripod Joint): the
lighter and smaller constant velocity joint com
-
pared with the conventional TJ has been
installed.
EBJ (High Efficiency Compact Birfield Joint): the
lighter and smaller constant velocity joint com
-
pared with the conventional BJ has been
achieved by adopting the eight small balls.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FOUR-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (4ABS)35B-3
MAIN COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
.
Parts nameNo.Functional description
SensorWheel speed sensor1Outputs the frequency signal in proportion to the
rotation speed of each wheel to ABS-ECU.
Magnetic encoder for
wheel speed detection2The wheel speed sensor is a pulse generator. When
the magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection (a
plate on which north and south pole sides of the
magnets are arranged alternately) rotates, it outputs
frequency pulse signal in proportion to each wheel
speed.
Stop light switch3Outputs the signal indicating whether the brake pedal
is depressed or not through ETACS-ECU to ABS-ECU
via the CAN line.
ActuatorHydraulic unit4Drives the solenoid valve using the signal from
ABS-ECU, and controls the brake fluid pressure for
each wheel.
ABS warning light5Informs the driver of the system status by illuminating,
flashing, or turning off the warning light according to
the signal from ABS-ECU.
Brake warning light6Used as the warning light for the parking brake, brake
fluid level, and EBD control. Informs the driver of the
system status by illuminating or turning off the warning
light according to the signal from ABS-ECU, ETACS or
combination meter.
Data link connector7Establishes the communication with scan tool.
ABS control unit (ABS-ECU)8Controls the actuators (described above) based on the
signals coming from each sensors.
Controls the self-diagnostic functions and fail-safe
functions.
Controls diagnostic function (Compatible with scan
tool).
