Event Data Recording
N00418600168
Your vehicle is equipped with an “EDR” - Event Data
Recorder which is capable of collecting and storing data in the
event of an airbag deployment.
The EDR may record the following information:

Condition of specific vehicle systems;


Diagnostic code(s)
Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900193
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front airbag 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 in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 2-42.
WA R N I N G
!

If the SRS warning comes on, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible.


Please observe the following instructions to ensure
that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate
correctly. Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
 Do not recline the seatback more than necessary
when driving.
 Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the
front seat.


If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the

Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000306
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the airbag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The airbag
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 airbag will not deploy in an impact when
the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s airbag off indi-
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-41.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-42.
WA R N I N G

If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as pos-
sible: The SRS warning does not initially come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
 The SRS warning does not go out after several sec-
onds.
 The SRS warning comes on while you are driving.
WA R N I N G
!

To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s airbag system. Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
 Do not recline the seatback more than necessary.
 Never have more than one person (adult or child)
sitting on the seat.
 Do not place anything between the seat and the
floor console.
 Do not hang anything on the front passenger’s
seatback.
 When attaching a child restraint system, secure it
firmly.
 Do not place luggage or other objects on the seat.
 Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.
 Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.
 Do not place luggage or other objects under the
seat.
 Do not place the floor mat on the seat rails.
 Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.
 Do not subject the sensors to shock.
