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.

The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when...The side airbags and curtain airb
ags are not designed to deploy
in conditions where they cannot usually provide protection to the occupant. Typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.
Because the side airbags and cu
rtain airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.1- Head-on collisions 2- Rear end collisions
WARNING
!●
The side airbags and curtai
n airbags are designed to
supplement the protection through the driver andpassenger seat belts in certain side impacts. Seat belts should always be worn properly, and the driver and passenger should sit well back and uprightwithout leaning
against the window or door.
●
The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate with great force. The driver and passenger should not put theirarms out of the window, an
d should not lean against
the door, in order to reduce
risk of serious or possi-
bly fatal injury from the deploying side airbag and curtain airbag.

SRS servicing
E00407901042
WARNING
!●
If any of the following
conditions occur, the SRS
and/or seat belt pre-tensioners are not workingproperly, and we recommend you to have it inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point immediately.• The SRS warning lamp do
es not illuminate when
you start the vehicle. • The SRS warning lamp does not go out after sev-eral seconds. • The SRS warning lamp illuminates while driving.
WARNING
!●
We recommend any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS to be performed bya MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service
Point. Improper work on the SR
S components or wiring
could result in inadverten
t deployment of the air-
bags, or could render the SRS inoperative; either situation could result in serious injury.
●
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat belt retrac- tor or any other SRS co
mponents. For example,
replacement of the steering
wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body
structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and
lead to possible injury.
●
If your vehicle has received any damage, we recom- mend you to have the SRS in
spected to ensure it is in
proper working order.
●
On vehicles with the side
airbags, do not modify
your front seats, centre pillar and centre console. It can adversely affect SR
S performance and lead to
possible injury.If you found any tear scratch, crack or damage to the seat fabric near the side airbag, the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, youshould have the SRS in
spected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
