E00203200019
The petrol engines
are compatible with E10 type
petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming to Eu-
ropean standards EN 228. CAUTION
l
Do not use more than 10 %
concentration
of ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use

of more than 10 % concentration
may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel
system, engine, engine sensors and ex-
haust system. Filling the fuel tank
E00200201767 WARNING
l When handling
fuel,
comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Before removing the fuel tank filler tube
cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s stat-
ic electricity by touching a metal part of
the car or fuel pump. Any static electrici-
ty on your body could create a spark that
ignites fuel vapour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel tank filler tube cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person
come near the fuel tank filler. If you al-
lowed a person to help you and that per-
son was carrying static electricity, fuel va-
pour could be ignited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er door until refueling is finished. If you
moved away and did something else (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part-
way through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
l If the fuel tank filler tube cap must be re-
placed, use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original part.

Seat belts
E00404800072
To protect you
and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
are worn correctly while driving.

The front seat belts have a pretensioner system.
These belts are used the same way as a convention-
al seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-23. WARNING
l Always place
the
shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi-
cle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
l Remove any twists when using the belt. WARNING
l No modifications or
additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do
so risks severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00404901243
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once worn, the

belt adjusts itself to the movement
of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong
shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear-
er’s body. NOTE
l You
can check

if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten 1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holdingthe latch plate.
NOTE l When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once forceful-
ly and then return them. After that, pull the
belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is heard. WARNING
l Never wear
the
lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen
and increase the risk of injury. 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

WARNING
• If the indication lamp does not come on when
the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, do not
fit a rearward facing child restraint
system to the front passenger seat. We
recommend you to have the system in-
spected 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 ignition switch, and
turn the

ignition 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 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

The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DE-
PLOY when…
The front airbags
are not designed to deploy in con-
ditions where they cannot typically provide protec-
tion to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in
the illustration. 1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3-
Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because

the front airbags do not protect the occu-
pant in all types of collisions, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe impact (under-
carriage damage). Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision with
an
elevated median/island or
kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground

Because the front airbags may deploy in certain
types of unexpected impacts as shown in the illus-
tration that can easily move you out of position, it
is important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe dis-
tance from the steering wheel and instrument panel
during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful
and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage. WARNING
l Do not attach
anything to the steering
wheel padded cover, such as trim materi-
al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do not
attach
accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not put packages, pets or other ob-
jects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates. Seat and seat belts
