in
any position other than the “P” (PARK) po-
sition (CVT). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than
the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while depress-ing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine switch to stop the engine, move the gearshift
lever to the 1 st
(on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse)
(on a downhill) position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, press the en-
gine switch to stop the engine.

flat, you can lock and unlock the driver’s door with
the emergency key. To use the emergency key (A),
unlock the lock knob (B) and remove it from the
keyless operation key (C). NOTE

Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100256
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be

used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fit-
ted to any seat other than the front passenger seat,
be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch before using it.
(Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-27.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indica-
tion lamp
E00410200303
The

front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the instrument panel. The indicator normally illuminates when the igni-
tion

switch is turned to the “ON” position or the op-
eration mode is put in ON, and goes off a few sec-
onds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is not opera-
tional. When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, the indication lamp goes off
to show that the front passenger’s airbag is opera-
tional. WARNING
l Do
not fit any accessory that makes the in-
dication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the sta-
tus of the passenger airbag system.
To turn an airbag off E00412300063 WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always
remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or put-
ting the operation mode in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch.
Failure to do so could lead to improp-
er position of the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
• Do not turn OFF the front passen- ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except
when a child restraint system is fitted
to the front passenger seat.
• If the indicator does not come on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a
child restraint system to the front pas-
senger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the indication lamp remains on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned ON, do not al-
low anyone to sit on the front passen-
ger seat. We recommend you to have
the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps: 1. Insert
the key into the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the
“OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. 3. Turn
the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in ON. The
front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp will stay on. The front passenger’s airbag is now deactivated
and will not deploy until switched on again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag
system
E00407400792
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cov-
er

in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel
above the glove box. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s air-
bag

are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied. Driver’s knee airbag system*
E00412400022
The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steer-
ing wheel.
The

driver’s knee airbag is designed to deploy at
the same time as the driver’s front airbag. Seat and seat belts

Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2-
Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
do not protect the occupant in all types of colli-
sions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY
DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may de-
ploy if the bottom of the vehicle suffers a moderate-
to-severe impact (undercarriage damage). Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision
with an elevated median/island or
kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts
as shown in the illustration that can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag infla-
tion is the most forceful and can possibly cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if you contact it at this stage. WARNING
l Do
not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat-
ing normally or could be propelled and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates. Seat and seat belts
