2010 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS steering wheel

WARNING
l Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel padded cover, such as trim materi-
al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
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 put packages, pets or other ob-
jects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Right
after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.
l The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recom-
mend you to have the entire airbag sys-
tem inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

with a side airbag.
Curtain airbag system
E00409100038

SRS warning lamp
E00407800653
There
is a Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”)
warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself and the lamp tells you if there is a prob-
lem. When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” or “START” position, the warning lamp
should illuminate for several seconds and then
should go out. This means the system is ready. If
an SRS airbag or pretensioner seat belt is not oper-
ating properly, the warning lamp comes on and
stays on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the following:
l Driver’s airbag
l Front passenger’s airbag
l Side airbags
l Curtain airbags
l Seat belt pretensioners
l Driver’s seat position sensor
l Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch WARNING
l If
any of the following conditions occur,
the SRS and/or seat belt pretensioners
are not working properly, and we recom-
mend you to have it inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point immediately. • The SRS warning lamp does not illu-minate when you start the vehicle.
• The SRS warning lamp does not go out after several seconds.
• The SRS warning lamp illuminates while driving.
SRS servicing E00407900726 WARNING
l We
recommend any maintenance per-
formed on or near the components of the
SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper work on the SRS components
or wiring could result in inadvertent de-
ployment of the airbags, or could render
the SRS inoperative; either situation
could result in serious injury.
l Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
belt retractor or any other SRS compo-
nents. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury. WARNING
l If
your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we recommend you to have the SRS in-
spected to ensure it is in proper working
order.
l Do not modify your front seats, centre pil-
lar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance
and lead to possible injury.
Also, if you have found any tear or open
seam in the seat fabric at the portion near
the side airbag, we recommend you to
have the seat inspected.
l If you have found any scratch, crack or
damage to the portion of the front and
rear pillars and roof side rail, you should
have the SRS inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE l When

you transfer ownership of the vehicle
to some other person, we urge you to alert
the new owner that it is equipped with the
SRS and refer the new owner to the applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
l If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge you
to first take the vehicle to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point so that
the SRS can be rendered safe. Seat and seat belts

When
making a normal turn, use position
(1). The lever will return automatically when
cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not re-
turn after cornering. This occurs when the
steering wheel is turned only slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by hand.
2- Lane-change signals When changing lanes, use position (2). It
will return to the neutral position when re-
leased.
NOTE l If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have burned

inspected. l
It
is possible to activate the following func-
tions. For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a MITSUBISHI

The mirrors can be extended and retracted for 30
seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position.
Either the mirror switch in the cabin or the remote
controller of the keyless entry system (if so equip-
ped) can be used.
For information on the keyless entry system, refer
to page 1-04.
NOTE
l It is also possible to fold and return the mir-
rors by hand.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from re-
peated pushing of the retractor switch as this
action can result in burn-out of the mirror mo-
tor circuits.
Automatic extension of mirrors
If the engine is stopped and started with the mirrors
retracted, the mirrors automatically extend for safe-
ty when the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h
(19 mph).
NOTE l If the mirrors are retracted manually or using
the mirror switch after the engine is started,
they do not extend automatically. Use the mir-
ror switch to extend the mirrors, or turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position to ac-
tivate the automatic extension function. Heated mirror*
E00601200442
When
the rear window demister switch is pressed,
the outside rear-view mirrors are demisted or de-
frosted. Current will flow through the heater ele-
ment inside the mirrors, thus clearing away frost or
condensation.
The indication lamp (C) will illuminate while the
demister is on. The heater will be turned off auto-
matically in about 20 minutes. Ignition switch

Steering wheel lock
E00601500083To lock
Remove the key at the “LOCK” position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn
the key to the “ACC” position while moving
the steering wheel slightly. CAUTION
l
Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
NOTE l If

the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the key from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmly
turn the steering wheel to the left or to the
right as you turn the key. Starting
E00601600941
Tips for starting l Do

not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
“LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and
then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, refer to the “Emer-
gency starting” section for instructions on
starting the engine.
l The engine is well warmed up if the coolant
temperature gauge needle starts to move (the
engine speed decreases). Extended warming-
up operation will result in excessive fuel con-
sumption. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle. Especially in
the A/T, since the structure is different
from a M/T, it is not possible to start the
engine by using this technique. Never at-
tempt this or it could damage the A/T.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immedi-
ately after high-speed or uphill driving.
First allow the engine to idle to give the
turbocharger a chance to cool down.
