2011 MITSUBISHI I-MIEV child restraint

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407301600
The SRS includes the following components: 1- Airbag module (Driver)
2-
Airbag module (Passenger)
3- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp 4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch 5- Side airbag modules
6-

Curtain airbag modules
The airbags will operate only when the electric mo-
tor switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
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. 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. 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.
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.
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. Seat and seat belts

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 of this owner’s
manual. Use rearward facing child restraints in the rear seat
or

turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page
3-23)
Front passenger’s airbag ON 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 must on-
ly be used in the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if they must be used
in the front passenger seat, turn off the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could kill or cause seri-
ous 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.

straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag E00408800474
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a

Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
E00410100272
The
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fit-
ted 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 3-23)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated as shown in the illustration. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indica-
tion lamp
E00410200316
The
front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located as shown in the illustration. The indication lamp normally comes on when the
electric

motor switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is not opera-
tional. When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, the indication lamp goes off
to show that the front passenger’s airbag is opera-
tional. WARNING
l Do
not fit any accessory that makes the in-
dication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the sta-
tus of the passenger airbag system.
To turn an airbag off E00412300076 WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always
remove the key from the elec-
tric motor switch before operating the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adverse-
ly affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the electric motor
switch to the “LOCK” position.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch. Failure to
do so could lead to improper position
of the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch.
• Do not turn OFF the front passen- ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except
when a child restraint system is fitted
to the front passenger seat. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
• Turn ON the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch immediately after re-
moving a child restraint system from
the front passenger seat.
• If the indication lamp does not come on when the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, do not
fit a child restraint system to the front
passenger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the indication lamp remains on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned ON, do not al-
low anyone to sit on the front passen-
ger seat. We recommend you to have
the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps: 1. Insert
the key into the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the
“OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. 3. Insert
the key into the electric motor switch,
and turn the electric motor switch to the
“ON” position. The front passenger’s airbag
OFF indication lamp will stay on. The front passenger’s airbag is now deactivated
and will not deploy until switched on again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag
system
E00407400792
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cov-
er

in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel
above the glove box. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s air-
bag

are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbags and curtain airbags. WARNING
l Do
not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbags. Special
care should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment. WARNING
l Do
not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags.
Do not re-cover seats that have side air-
bags. This could interfere with proper
side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door
glass, front and rear pillars and roof side
or assist grips. When the curtain airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury. WARNING
l Never install a rearward facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be
used in the rear seat whenever possible. If
a forward facing child restraint must be
used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the
child restraint and away from the door.
l Do not allow the child to lean against or
close to the door even if the child is seated
in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be
leaned against or be close to the area
where the side airbags and curtain air-
bags are located. It is dangerous if the
side airbags and curtain airbags inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp E00407801591
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 electric motor 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. Seat and seat belts
