WARNING
l For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sud-
den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed. Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
l Check the
belts

for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent in warm water. After rinsing in water,
let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this will af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We recommend
you
to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col-
lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407201407
The information written

in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, side
and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags em-
ploy a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver
and front passenger airbag is controlled by the im-
pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle) and the con-
trol unit (near the centre of the vehicle at floor level).

The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is designed to
supplement properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and front passenger with protection
against chest injury in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and
provide the driver and passenger with protection
against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum protection in all types of crashes and ac-
cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-
eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle. Seat and seat belts

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407300922
The SRS includes the following components: 1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag
OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch 5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules* The
airbags
will operate only when the ignition
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 passengers are not prop-
erly seated and restrained, the airbags
may not protect you properly, and could
cause serious or fatal injuries when it in-
flates. WARNING
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. 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. Seat and seat belts

Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
E00410100070
The front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch can
be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a rearward facing child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front
passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-36.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
E00411500068
The front passenger’s
airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the instrument panel. The indication lamp normally comes on when the
ignition switch is

turned to the “ON” position, 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
E00410600189 WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the

key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the ignition
switch from “ON” position to
“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 rearward facing child re-
straint system is fitted to the front pas-
senger seat. Seat and seat belts

lamp will stay on. The front passenger’s airbag is now deactivated
and will not deploy until switched on again.
Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag
system
E00407400372
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 inflates at two different rates ac-
cording to the severity of the impact. The front passenger’s airbag deploys at the same
time as
the

driver’s airbag, even if the passenger
seat is not occupied, and inflates at two different
rates according to the severity of the impact. Seat and seat belts
