The indicator normally comes on when the key is turned to the
“ON” position and goes out a few seconds later. In the follow-
ing situations, the indicator will stay on to show that the pas-
senger front airbag is not operational.

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


The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately about 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the

ment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are
designed to deploy at the same time. However, the front pas-
senger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat
is not occupied or when the weight sensor in the front passen-
ger seat senses a weight on the seat of less than approximately
about 66 pounds (30 kg).

3 Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200312
The tire pressure monitoring system uses tire inflation pressure
sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tire inflation pres-
sures. The system only indicates when a tire is significantly
under-inflated.
NOTE

The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-23.


Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
