MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Timer function E00302400712
The door windows can be opened or closed for 30
seconds after the

ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
If the driver’s door is opened during this period,
the door window can be opened or closed for anoth-
er 30 seconds.
However, once the driver’s door is closed, the win-
dows cannot be operated.
Safety mechanism E00302500218
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure

that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the window when closing a window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If the
safety
mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The safety mechanism
is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
NOTE l The
safety mechanism

can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the door windows to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the appropriate window switch until that win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate all windows in the normal fashion. Locking and unlocking

l Operate in
the

high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction. Seat and seat belts

E00409800338
The seat belt

warning lamp is located on the instru-
ment panel. A tone and warning lamp are used to
remind the driver to fasten the seat belt. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning

lamp will come on and a tone
will sound for about 6 seconds. If the driver’s seat
belt remains unfastened for approximately 1 mi-
nute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone
sound intermittently (each 12 times) when the vehi-
cle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens
the seat belt while driving, the warning lamp and
tone will issue further warnings. And if the seat
belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and tone
will issue further warnings each time the vehicle
starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fas-
tened, the warnings will stop.

Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system E00405700081
The driver’s seat
and front passenger’s seat each
have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.
Pretensioner system E00405800747
The pretensioner system will retract their respec-
tive seat belts

instantaneously, thus maximizing the
seat belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact
severe enough to injure the driver and/or front pas-
senger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position. WARNING
l To obtain
the
best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad-
justed your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly. CAUTION
l
Installation of
audio
equipment or re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems. CAUTION
l
If you need
to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpec-
ted activation of the pretensioner seat
belts could cause injuries.
NOTE l The
pretensioner seat

belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp E00405900083
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and the pretensioner

seat belts. Refer to “SRS warn-
ing lamp” on page 2-43.
Force limiter system E00406000153
In the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem will effectively

absorb the load applied to the
seat belt to minimize the impact to the passenger. Child restraint
E00406401604
When transporting children

in your vehicle, some
type of child restraint system should always be
used according to the size of the child. This is re-
quired by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with children in
the front seat may differ from country to country.
You are advised to comply with the relevant regula-
tions. WARNING
l When possible,
put
children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil-
dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rath-
er than in the front seat.
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se-
vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint to the
rear seat, place the front seatbacks in the
upright position.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a col-
lision. 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
