A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten
the seat belt.
If the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position without the
driver’s seat belt being fastened, a warning light will come on
and a tone will sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind
you to fasten your seat belt.
If you then drive with the seat belt unfastened for longer than a
minute from when the ignition switch was turned on, the warn-
ing light will come on and blink repeatedly and the tone will
sound intermittently.
The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90
seconds.If you then repeatedly stop and start your vehicle with the seat
belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind
you to fasten your seat belt every time the vehicle starts mov-
ing. You will also be reminded to fasten your seat belt in this
way when you remove your seat belt while driving. The warn-
ing light and the tone go off when the seat belt is fastened.
NOTE

At the same time, “FASTEN SEAT BELT” will be dis-
played on the information screen in the multi-information
display.

2 Seat belt pre-tensioner and force limiter
systems
N00417700582
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner systemThe driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In a moderate-to-severe frontal
or side collision or when a rollover or overturning of the vehi-
cle is detected, the pre-tensioner system operates simulta-
neously with the deployment of the front airbags, side airbags
or curtain airbags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located in the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt retractors (A) and in the driver seat’s final
anchor (B). 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 airbag 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 seat belt pre-tensioners will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is
released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harm-
ful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it
may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory
problems.
The pre-tensioners activate whenever a moderate-to-serve
impact is applied to the front or side of the vehicle, even if the
seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certain collisions, even though the vehicle may
appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activation does not
mean that something is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner
system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe
enough to activate the system.
SRS warning
N00408700081
This warning light tells you if there is a problem involving the
SRS airbags and the seat belt pre-tensioner system. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 2-69.Force limiter system
N00408900126
In the event of an accident, the seat belt force limiter system
will help reduce the force applied to the driver and front seat
passenger.
WA R N I N G
!

The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to
work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners
have been activated, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt
pre-tensioner system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900177
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 light in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-69.
Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000289
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 airbag off indica-
tor will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-68.
If there is a problem involving the passenger seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-69.
