Heated seats*
E00401100289
The heated seats can be operated
with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position. Operate the switch as indicated by arrows. The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.1- Heater high (for quick heating). 2- Heater off.3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
!●
Switch off seat heat
ers when not in use.
●
Operate in the high positi
on for quick heating. Once
the seat is warm, set the
heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in
seat temperature may be
felt while using the heated
seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s
internal thermostat and
does not indicate a malfunction.
●
If the following types of p
ersons use the heated seats,
they might become too ho
t or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):• Children, elderly or ill people • People with sensitive skin • Excessively tired people • People under the influe
nce of alcohol or sleep
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
●
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other poin
ted objects into it.
●
Do not use a blanket, cushio
n, or other material with
high heat insulation prop
erties on the seat while
using the heater; this migh
t cause the heater element
to overheat.
●
When cleaning the seat,
do not use benzene, gaso-
line, alcohol, or other organic solvents; this might damage the surface of the
seat and also the heater
element.
●
If water or any other liquid
is spilled on the seat,
allow it to dry thoroughly
before attempting to use
the heater.
●
Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunctioning during use.CAUTION

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.

To turn an airbag off
E00410600075
WARNING
!●
Do not fit any accessory
that makes the indicator
impossible to see, and do
not cover the indicator
with a sticker. You would no
t be able to verify the
status of the passenger airbag system.
WARNING
!●
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:• Always remove the key from the ignition switch before operating an ai
rbag ON-OFF switch. Fail-
ure to do so could advers
ely affect the airbag per-
formance. • Wait at least 60 seconds
to operate the airbag ON-
OFF switch after turning
the ignition switch from
the “ON” position to the “LOCK” position. The SRS airbag system is designed to retainenough voltage to deploy the airbag. • Always remove the key from an airbag ON-OFF switch after operati
ng that switch. Failure to do so
could lead to improper posi
tion of the airbag ON-
OFF switch. • Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except when
a rearward facing child
restraint system is fitt
ed to the front passenger
seat.• If the indicator does not illuminate when the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned OFF,
do not fit a rearward facing child restraint systemto the front passenger seat. We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the indicator remains
on when the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passenger seat. Werecommend you to have th
e system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service
Point.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
E00407400372
The driver’s airbag is located
under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. Th
e front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove box. The driver’s airbag inflates at
two different rates according to
the severity of the impact. The front passenger’s airbag de
ploys at the same time as the
driver’s airbag, even if the passe
nger seat is not occupied, and
inflates at two different rates
according to the severity of the
impact.

SRS warning lamp
E00407800129
There is a supplemental restra
int system (“SRS”) warning lamp
on the instrument panel. The sy
stem checks itself and the lamp
tells you if there is a problem.
When the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” or “START” position, the warning lamp shouldilluminate for several seconds and then should go out. This means the system is ready. If
an SRS airbag or pre-tensioner
seat belt is not operating properly, the warning lamp illumi-nates and stays on. The SRS warning lamp is shared by the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and the
seat belt pre-tensioner system.
WARNING
!●
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook.If the curtain airbag was
activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag
from inflating correctly.
Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without
using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in thepockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
●
Do not allow the child to lean against or close to the front door even if the ch
ild is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not be leaned against orbe close to the area where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located. It
is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain airbag inflates.Failure to follow all these
instructions
could lead to
serious or fatal injury to the child.
●
We recommend work around and on the side air- bags and curtain airbags system to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Auth
orized Service Point.
