NOTE●
The pre-tensioner seat belts will
be activated if the vehicle
suffers a severe frontal impact
, even if the seat belts are
not worn.
●
The pre-tensioner seat belts are designed to work only once. After the pre-tensioner seat belts have been acti- vated, we recommend you have it replaced by a MIT- SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
E00405900083
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags and the pre- tensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 2-75.Force limiter system
E00406000153
In the event of a collision, each
force limiter syst
em will effec-
tively absorb the load applied to
the seat belt to minimize the
impact to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406401066
When transporting children in your vehicle, some type of child restraint system should always
be used according to the size of
the child. This is required by law in most countries.The regulations concerning driving with children in the front seat may differ from country to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.
●
If you need to scrap the
vehicle, please consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. It is important to do so
because unexpected activa-
tion of the pre-tensioner seat belts could cause inju- ries.CAUTION
!
WARNING
!●
When possible, put children in the rear seat. Acci- dent statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and
ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
●
Holding a child in your arms
is no substitute for a
restraint system. Failure
to use a proper restraint
system can result in severe
or fatal injury to your
child.
●
Each child restraint device
or fixing is to be used
only by one child.
●
When attaching a child rest
raint to the rear seat,
place the front seatbacks
in the upright position.
Otherwise, the child coul
d be seriously injured in
the event of hard braking or a collision.

Deployment of front airbags
E00407500067
The front airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when...The front airbags are designed
to deploy when the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is shown in the illustration.
The front airbags will deploy if the severity of impact is above the designed threshold level, co
mparable to an approximately
25 km/h
(15 mph)
collision when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impactis below the above threshold level, the front airbags may not deploy. However, this threshold speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an
object that absorbs the impact
by either deforming or moving (for example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard rail). Because frontal collisions can
easily move you out of position,
it is important to always properl
y wear your seat belts. Your
seat belts will help you to keep
a safe distance from the steer-
ing wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of air-bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful one and can possibly ca
use serious or fatal injuries.
Moreover, the seat belts in
your vehicle are your primary
means of protection in a col
lision. The SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) airbags are de
signed to provide additional
protection. Therefore, for your sa
fety and the safety of all occu-
pants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at speed of approxi-
mately 25 km/h (15 mph) or higher
2- Moderate to severe frontal impact within the shaded area
between the arrows

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.

Fuel filter indication lamp (diesel-powered vehicles)
E00509900040
This indication lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position andgoes off after the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is ru
nning, it indicates that
water has accumulated inside the fuel filter; ifthis happens, remove the
water from the fuel fil-
ter. When the lamp goes out, you can resume driv-ing. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to have the vehicle inspected.

When the parking brake lever has been engaged.
●
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir falls to a low level.
●
When the brake circuit
is not operating cor-
rectly.
Brake warning buzzer When there is a danger of brake performance becoming compromised,
a buzzer will sound to
alert the driver. If this
buzzer should continue to
sound, park your vehicl
e in a safe place and we
recommend you to have it checked.NOTE●
