Timer function E00302400800
The door windows can be opened or closed for 30
seconds after the engine is stopped.
However,

once the driver’s door or the front passen-

ated.
Safety mechanism (driver’s door win-
dow only) E00302500609
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or

hand out of the window when closing the driv-
er’s door window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated
while the switch is pulled up. Therefore
be especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the driver’s door window to be subjec-
ted to a physical shock similar to that caused
by a trapped hand or head. l
If
the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate the driver’s door window in the nor-
mal fashion. Locking and unlocking

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407301554
The SRS includes the following components: 1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front
passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Driver’s knee airbag module*
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch 6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules* Only when the ignition switch or the operation
mode

is under the following conditions, the airbags
will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless opera-
tion system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” po-
sition.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision. CAUTION
l
Airbags
inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
bruises, and the like. WARNING
l IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or
against the instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for in-
fants and children. Seat and seat belts

Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not
protect
the occupant in all types of side collisions,
be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not de-
signed to deploy in conditions where they cannot
usually provide protection to the occupant. Typical
conditions are shown in the illustration. 1- Head-on collisions
2-

Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do
not protect the occupant in all types of colli-
sions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts. WARNING
l The
side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbags and curtain airbags. WARNING
l Do
not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbags. Special
care should be taken with children. WARNING
l Do
not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that
have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door
glass, front and rear pillars and roof side
or assist grips. When the curtain airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury. Seat and seat belts

Rain sensor
Can
only be used when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON.
If the lever is put in the “AUTO” position, the rain
sensor (A) will detect the extent of rain (or snow,
other moisture, dust, etc.) and the wipers will oper-
ate automatically.
Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if the wind-
screen is dirty and the weather is dry. Wiper operation under these conditions can scratch
the windscreen and damage the wipers.
CAUTION
l
With
the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON and lever in the “AUTO” po-
sition, the wipers may automatically oper-
ate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suf-
fer injuries or the wipers could malfunc-
tion. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, or move lever to the
“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen-
sor. • When cleaning the outside surface ofthe windscreen, if you touch on top of
the rain sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the windscreen, if you wipe with a
cloth on top of the rain sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the wind- screen. CAUTION
• A
physical shock is applied to the rain
sensor.
NOTE l To

protect the rubber parts of the wipers, this
operation of the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is stationary and the ambi-
ent temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
l Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put
any water-repellent coating on the wind-
screen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally.
l In the following cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
• When the wipers operate at a constant in-terval despite changes in the extent of rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even though it is raining.
l The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windscreen on top of the rain
sensor or when the windscreen is frozen. Ob-
jects affixed to the windscreen will stop the
wipers when the wipers cannot remove them.
To make the wipers operate again, place the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the lev-
er in the “OFF” position. Instruments and controls
