systems
N00417700524
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner system The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In moderate-to-severe frontal
collisions or when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is
detected, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously
with the deployment of the front air bags or curtain air bags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within the seat belt
retractors (A). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw
back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following com-
ponents:
The air bag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON”
or “START” position. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The pre-tensioner seat belts will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900092
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the air bag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The air bag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front air bag in accordance with the information
it receives from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor,
the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light” on page 2-44.
Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000188
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the air bag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The air bag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front air
bag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front air bag will not deploy in an impact
when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approxi-
mately 66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s air bag
off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s air bag off indicator” on page 2-43.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light” page 2-44.

turned to the “ON” position and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will stay on to show
that the passenger’s front air bag is not operational.

The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passen-
ger seat.

The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator
goes out to show that the passenger’s front air bag is opera-
tional.

NOTE
Electronic immobilizer is not compatible with remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehi-
cle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

A system failure is suspected when the ignition key is
turned to the “START” position, and the engine does not
start. In such a case, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.Replacement keysOnly keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electron-
ics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the vehicle keys must
be changed.
Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID code changed.
Additional keysTo add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by your authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except for
vehicles sold in Canada).
For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and any remain-
ing keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
You are provided with 2 keys, but you may add up to 6
more keys.Customer key programming (Except for vehicles
sold in Canada)You can program new keys to the system if you have 2 valid
(already registered) keys and blank (not registered) immobi-
lizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer) by doing the following:
1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition and turn the igni-
tion to the “ON” position for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition to the “LOCK” position and remove the
first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the first key to the “LOCK”
position, insert the second valid key into the ignition and
turn it to the “ON” position. About 10 seconds later, the
immobilizer indicator will start blinking.
CAUTION
!
Do not make any alterations or additions to the
immobilizer system. Alterations or additions could
cause failure of the immobilizer.

4. When the immobilizer indicator starts blinking, turn the
second valid key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blank immobi-
lizer key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position.
Perform this operation no more than 30 seconds after the
immobilizer indicator starts blinking. When registration
of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer indicator will
come on for 3 seconds then go off. If an error occurs, the
immobilizer indicator will go off during the procedure.
5. If you wish to register another key, perform the process
again from step 1.
NOTE
It is not possible to register a key if:
• the immobilizer indicator goes off during the procedure
• the immobilizer indicator does not come on for 3 sec-
onds after turning the ignition to the “ON” position with
a blank immobilizer key

The procedure will be terminated automatically if:
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the second key is turned to
the “ON” position
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the second key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key
(specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsubishi Motors
dealer) is turned to the “ON” position
• more than 30 seconds elapse after the immobilizer indi-
cator starts blinking
