WARNINGlDo  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.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook.
If  the  curtain  airbag  was  activated,  any
such  item  could  be  propelled  away  with
great force and could prevent the curtain
airbag  from  inflating  correctly.  Hang
clothes directly on the coat hook (without
using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp ob-
jects  in  the  pockets  of  clothes  that  you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do  not  allow  a  child  to  lean  against  or
close  to  the  front  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  of
the  seat  where  the  side  airbag  and  cur-
tain  airbag  are  located.  It  is  dangerous  if
the side airbag and curtain airbag 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  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point.  Improper
work  could  result  in  inadvertent  deploy-
ment  of  a  side  airbags  and  curtain  air-
bags,  or  could  render  a  side  airbags  and
curtain  airbags  inoperative;  either  situa-
tion could result in serious injury.SRS warning lamp E00407801201
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  ignition  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.  If
an SRS airbag or pretensioner seat belt is not oper-
ating  properly,  the  warning  lamp  comes  on  and
stays on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag
and the seat belt pretensioner system.WARNINGl If  any  of  the  following  conditions  occur,
the  SRS  and/or  seat  belt  pretensioners
are not working properly, and we recom-
mend  you  to  have  it  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized
Service Point immediately.

Safe driving techniquesE00600300491
Driving safety and protection against injury cannot
be  fully  ensured.  However,  we  recommend  that
you pay extra attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and
your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor matsWARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by cor-
rectly  laying  floor  mats  that  are  suitable
for the vehicle.
To  prevent  the  floor  mats  from  slipping
out  position,  securely  retain  them  using
the hooks etc.
Note  that  laying  a  floor  mat  over  a  pedal
or  laying  one  floor  mat  on  top  of  another
can  obstruct  pedal  operation  and  lead  to
a serious accident.Carrying children in the vehicle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition and children inside the ve-
hicle. Children may play with the driving con-
trols and this could lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small children are
properly  restrained  in  accordance  with  the
laws  and  regulations,  and  for  maximum  pro-
tection in case of an accident.
l Prevent  children  from  playing  in  the  cargo
area.  It  is  quite  dangerous  to  allow  them  to
play there while the vehicle is moving.

Cigarette lighterE00711501257
The cigarette lighter can be used while the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Type 1Type 2
1- Push all the way in.
The  lighter  will  automatically  return  to  its  original
position  with  a  “click”  when  ready.  Pull  it  out  for
use.
After  use,  insert  the  lighter  to  its  original  position
in the socket.
NOTE
l Do  not  leave  the  cigarette  lighter  removed
from its socket, because the socket might be-
come  clogged  by  foreign  material  and  be
short-circuited.CAUTIONl Do  not  touch  heating  element  or  lighter
housing.  Hold  only  the  knob  to  prevent
burns.
l Do  not  allow  children  to  operate  or  play
with the cigarette lighter as burns may oc-
cur.
l Something  is  wrong  with  the  cigarette
lighter  if  it  does  not  pop  back  out  within
approximately  30  seconds  of  being  push-
ed in.
Leaving  the  cigarette  lighter  pushed  in
for an extended period could cause fire. If
it  does  not  pop  out  by  itself,  we  recom-
mend you to have it checked.
l Do  not  leave  the  cigarette  lighter  pushed
in  or  insert  the  cigarette  lighter  from  an-
other  vehicle.  Otherwise,  the  lighter  may
overheat and cause fire.
l It  is  recommended  that  only  the  lighter
be inserted in its socket.
Use  of  “plug-in”  type  accessories  may
damage  the  socket  and  result  in  poor  re-
tention of the lighter.
