2010 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS warning

Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag
The
label shown here is attached on vehicles with a
front passenger airbag. WARNING
l Extreme Hazard!
Do

not use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!
l A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force
of an inflating airbag could kill or cause
serious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
Front passenger’s airbag ON NOTE
l If

you have a rearward facing child restraint
system that cannot be fitted 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 2-33.)

Instructions:
l For
small infants, an infant carrier should be
used. For small children whose height when
seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in con-
tact with the face or the throat, a child seat
should be used.
l The child restraint system should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height and
properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher de-
gree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN
THE REAR SEAT. WARNING
l When
installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system. Fail-
ure to do so can result in severe or fatal
injury to your child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac-
cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child or infant seat se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent injury to
your child.
NOTE l Before

purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the

seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat
cushion, it may be difficult to securely install
some manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled for-
ward or to either side easily on the seat cush-
ion after the seat belt has been tightened,
choose another manufacturer’s child restraint
system.

Depending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following 2 locations: • To the lower anchorage in the rear seat,ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (See page 2-27).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-28).
Older children E00406700192
Children who have outgrown the child restraint sys-
tem should be seated in the rear seat and wear com-
bination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and posi-
tioned

low on the abdomen so that it is below the
top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could in-
trude into the child’s abdomen during an accident
and cause injury. WARNING
l Children
who are not buckled up can be
thrown out of the vehicle in an accident.
l Children who are not buckled up can
strike other people in the vehicle in an ac-
cident. WARNING
l A
child should never be left unattended
in your vehicle. When you leave the vehi-
cle, take the child with you. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l If
a child restraint system other than a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine one is
used, it may not be properly retained and
the child could be seriously injured as a
result. Use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine child restraint system. To install WARNING
l If
there is any foreign material in or
around the connectors, remove it before
installing the child restraint system. Also,
make sure the seat belt is away from, not
looped through or otherwise interfering
with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat
belt interferes with the child restraint sys-
tem, the child restraint system will not be
secured properly and could move for-
ward in the event of sudden braking or a
collision, seriously injuring the child and
possibly other vehicle occupants.
l Use the top tether strap when fitting a
child restraint system with ISOFIX
mountings.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a col-
lision.
l When the vehicle is moving do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system
is installed.

Seat belt inspection
E00406300550
l Check
the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent in warm water. After rinsing in water,
let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this will af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We
recommend you have all seat belt as-
semblies including retractors and attach-
ing hardware inspected after any colli-
sion. We recommend that seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to op-
erate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407201742
The

information written in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, driv-
er’s knee, side and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.

The SRS driver and front passenger airbags em-
ploy a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver
and front passenger airbag is controlled by the im-
pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle and near the
center of the vehicle at floor level) and the driver’s
seat position sensor and the SRS front passenger air-
bag is controlled by the impact sensors.

The SRS side airbags are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest and ab-
domen injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side
impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the driv-
er and passenger with protection against head inju-
ries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum
protection in all types of crashes and ac-
cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-
eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle. (With in-
fants and small children in child restraints and old-
er children buckled in the rear seat.) WARNING
l IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG: • Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-senger properly positioned, which re-
duces injury risk in all collisions, and
reduces the risk of serious or fatal in-
juries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a
collision, an unrestrained or improper-
ly restrained driver or passenger can
move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the col-
lision.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if the occupant
contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and
in lower-speed frontal collisions, be-
cause driver’s and passenger’s air-
bags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle in a colli-
sion or roll-over. 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. • Before driving, adjust the driver’sseat as far back as possible while still
maintaining complete control of the ve-
hicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen- ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al- ways properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the driver and passenger should sit well
back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, 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. WARNING
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. WARNING
l Infants
and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-
strument panel or be held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section in this owner’s
manual. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force
of an inflating airbag could kill or cause
serious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
Front passenger’s airbag ON NOTE
l If

you have a rearward facing child restraint
system that cannot be fitted 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 2-33.)
Front passenger’s air bag OFF WARNING
l A
FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if it must be used in
the front passenger seat, adjust the seat
to the most rearward position. Failure to
do so could kill or cause serious injuries
to the child. WARNING
l Older
children should be seated in the
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,
with an appropriate booster seat if needed.

WARNING
l Extreme Hazard!
Do
not use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it! How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407300935
The SRS includes the following components: 1. Airbag module (Driver)
2. Front

passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3. Airbag module (Passenger)
4. Front impact sensors
5. Driver’s seat position sensor
6. Airbag control unit
7. Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch 8. Side airbag modules
9.

Curtain airbag modules
10. Side impact sensors
The

airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

When the impact sensors detect an impact of suffi-
cient frontal or side force, an automated circuit ig-
nites materials in the inflator to generate gas and in-
flate the airbags.
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.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye. CAUTION
l
Airbags
inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.
Driver’s seat position sensor E00409900166
In order to detect the fore-aft position of the driv-
er’s

seat, the driver’s seat position sensor is attach-
ed to the seat rail.
In the event of a problem in the driver’s seat posi-
tion sensor, the SRS warning lamp comes on. Seat and seat belts
