Seat belt pre-tensioner system and force
limiter system
E00405700081
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each have a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner system
E00405800747
The pre-tensioner system will re
tract their respective seat belts
instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the driver and/or front passenger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position.
WARNING
!●
Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Pregnant women should use the available seat belts. This will reduce the likelihood of injury to both the woman and the unborn child. The lap beltshould be worn across the
thighs and as snug against
the hips as possible, but not across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have
any additional questions or
concerns.
WARNING
!●
To obtain the best results from your pre-tensioner seat belt, make sure you
have adjusted your seat
correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTION
!●
Installation of audio equipment or repairs in the vicinity of the pre-tension
er seat belts or floor con-
sole must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is important to do so because the work could aff
ect the pre-tensioner sys-
tems.

How the supplemental restraint system works
E00407300922
The SRS includes the following components:
The airbags will operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. The airbags deployment produces
a sudden, loud noise, and
releases some smoke and powder,
but these condi
tions are not
injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory problems may feel some temporary irritation fromchemicals used to produce the deployment; open the windows after airbag deployment,
if safe to do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidl
y after deployment, so there is
little danger of obscured vision.

The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when...With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may deform significantly as it abso
rbs the impact.) Under such cir-
cumstances, the front airbags
may not deploy irrespective of
the deformation and damage to the vehicle body. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustra-tion. Because the front airbags do not
protect the occupant in all
types of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY
when...The front airbags are not designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot typically provide protection to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in the illustration. Because the front airbags do not
protect the occupant in all
types of collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seatbelts.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow objects 2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck 3- Oblique frontal impacts
1- Rear end collisions 2- Side collisions3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

Deployment of side airbags and curtain airbags
E00407700375
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when...The side airbags and curtain
airbags are designed to deploy
when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the middle of the passenger compartment.The typical condition 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 airbags and curtain
airbags are designed to provide
additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety
of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear your seatbelts.
The side airbags and curtain airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when...With certain types of side collisions, the vehicle’s body struc- ture is designed to absorb the
shock to help protect the occu-
pants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may deform significantly as it absorbs th
e impact.) Under such circum-
stances, the side airbags and
curtain airbags may not deploy
irrespective of the deformatio
n and damage to the vehicle
body. Also, depending on the location of the impact, the sideairbags and curtain airbags ma
y not deploy simultaneously.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustra- tion.

NOTE●
In certain cases immediately after the engine has been started or when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, a noise gen- erated by operation of brake devices may beheard coming from
the engine compart-
ment. This type of noise is normal and there is no need for concer
n. In fact, it indicates
that the corresponding devices are operating normally.
●
The brake system uses
brake fluid pressu-
rized by the pump. Please refer to “Braking” on page 4-56.
CAUTION
!●
In the situations listed below, brake performance may be compromised orthe vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied suddenly; conse- quently, avoid driving at high speedsor applying the brakes suddenly. Fur- thermore, the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a safe location andto have it checked.• The brake warning lamp does notilluminate when the parking brake is applied or does not turn off when the parking brake is released.• The brake warning lamp remains illuminated during driving. • The brake warning buzzer does notturn off.
●
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance has deteriorated.• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard. • Should the brakes fail, use enginebraking to reduce your speed and pull the parking brake lever. Depress the brake pedal to operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles
behind you.CAUTION

Check engine warning lamp
E00502600093
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys- tem which monitors the emissions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. If a problem is detected
in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to havethe system checked as soon as possible. This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
NOTE●
The engine electr
onic control module
accommodating the onboard diagnostic sys- tem has various fault data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored.This data will be erased
if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a batterycable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
CAUTION
!●
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may cause further damage to the emis- sion control system.
It could also affect
fuel economy and drivability.
●
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, we recommend you to have the system checked.
●
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds and we recommend you to have the system checked.Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these conditions.

NOTE●
To protect the rubber parts of
the wipers, this operation of
the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is station-
ary and the ambient temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
●
Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating on the windscreen. The rain
sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers might stop work-ing normally.
●
In the following cases, the rain sensor may be malfunc- tioning.Have the vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • When the wipers operate at
a constant interval despite
changes in the extent of rain. • When the wipers do not operate even though it is rain- ing.
●
The wipers may automatically
operate when things such
as rain, dust, mud, insects, tr
ee sap, oil or salt are affixed
to the windscreen on top of the rain sensor or when thewindscreen is frozen. (Wrong operation may also occur due to strong electromagnetic
waves, etc.) Objects affixed
to the windscreen wi
ll stop the wipers when the wipers
cannot remove them. To make the wipers operate
again, place the lever in the
“LO” or “HI” position.
●
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point when replacing the winds
creen or reinforcing the
glass around the sensor.
To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
E00517100038
With the lever in the “AUTO” (rain sensor) position, it is possi- ble to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor by turning knob (A).NOTE●
It is possible to activate the following functions. For fur- ther information, we reco
mmend you to consult a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • Automatic operation (rain droplet sensitive) can be changed to intermittent ope
ration (vehicle-speed sensi-
tive). • Automatic operation (rain droplet sensitive) can be changed to intermittent oper
ation (except vehicle-speed
sensitive).
