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 in the event of a moderate-to-
severe frontal impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn.
The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain frontal
collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely
damaged. Such non-activation does not mean something is
wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that
the collision forces were not severe enough or not of the type to
activate the system.SRS warning
N00408700094
This warning tells you if there is a problem involving the SRS
airbags and the pre-tensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warn-
ing” on page 2-44.
Force limiter system
N00408900113
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.
