The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When
the airbag control unit detect an impact of suf-
ficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition sig-
nal to the airbag modules to ignite materials in the
inflator and generate gas and inflate the airbags.
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.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye. 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.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100184
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 2-30.) The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.
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. WARNING
• 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.
To turn an airbag off E00410600219
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert
the key into the key opening of the ap-
propriate front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch, and turn that airbag ON-OFF switch
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 to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. (“Front passenger’s airbag
OFF indication lamp” on page 2-31) Seat and seat belts

The front airbags are designed to deploy when the
vehicle
suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact.
A typical condition is shown in the illustration.

The front airbags will deploy if the severity of im-
pact is above the designed threshold level, compa-
rable to an approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) colli-
sion when impacting straight into a solid wall that
does not move or deform. If the severity of the im-
pact is below the above threshold level, the front air-
bags may not deploy. However, this threshold
speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either
deforming or moving (for example, another station-
ary vehicle, pole or a guard rail).

Because frontal collisions can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always properly wear
your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you
in a safe distance from the steering wheel and in-
strument panel during the initial stages of airbag de-
ployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the
most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-
tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your vehicle
are your primary means of protection in a collision.
The SRS airbags are designed to provide additional
protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safe-
ty of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts. The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With
certain types of frontal collisions, the vehi-
cle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock
to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehi-
cle body’s front area may deform significantly as it
absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the
front airbags may not deploy irrespective of the de-
formation and damage to the vehicle body. Exam-
ples of some typical conditions are shown in the il-
lustration.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occu-
pant
in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to al-
ways properly wear your seat belts.

Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
Oblique frontal impacts 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.

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.
Rear end collisions
Side collisions
Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof 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.
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.
Collision with an elevated median/island or kerb
Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground 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

WARNING
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.
l The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recom-
mend you to have the entire airbag sys-
tem inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Side airbag system E00407600374
The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and
front passenger seatbacks.
The

side airbag is designed to inflate only on the
side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no
passenger in the front seat. The label shown here is attached to the seatbacks
with a side airbag.
Curtain airbag system
E00409100474
The curtain airbags are contained in the front pil-
lars

and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is de-
signed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that
is impacted, even with no passenger in the front
seat or rear seat. Deployment of side airbags and cur-
tain airbags
E00407701011
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DE-
SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The

side airbags and curtain airbags are designed
to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-
severe side impact to the middle of the passenger
compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustration. The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary
means

of protection in a collision. The SRS side air-
bags and curtain airbags are designed to provide ad-
ditional protection. Therefore, for your safety and
the safety of all occupants, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts. Seat and seat belts
