Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system E00405700166
The
driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each
have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.
Pretensioner system E00405801164
The pretensioner system will retract its respective
seat

belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat
belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact se-
vere enough to injure the driver and/or front passen-
ger and the electric motor 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 unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause inju-
ries.
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 E00405900315
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and

the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warn-
ing lamp” on page 3-29.
Force limiter system E00406000209
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
E00406401747
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. Seat and seat belts

3. Push and pull the child restraint in all direc-
tions to be sure it is secure. 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
E00406300576
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 E00407202026
The

information for SRS airbags includes impor-
tant information concerning the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags, the side airbags and the cur-
tain 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 side airbags are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest, abdo-
men and hip injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the driv-
er and passenger with protection against head inju-
ries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To
ensure the maximum protection during all types of
collisions and accidents, all occupants, including
the passengers as well as the driver, must wear
their seat belts. Seat and seat belts

• Turn ON the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch immediately after re-
moving a child restraint system from
the front passenger seat.
• If the indication lamp does not come on when the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, do not
fit a child restraint system to the front
passenger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected 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 electric motor switch,
and turn the electric motor switch to the
“ON” position. The front passenger’s airbag
OFF indication lamp will stay on.

Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag
system
E00407400792
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 and the front passenger’s air-
bag

are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied. Seat and seat belts

OHAE13E1

WARNING
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
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 E00407600518
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
E00409100562
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
E00407701457
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 side airbags
and curtain airbags are designed to provide addition-
al protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safe-
ty of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts. Seat and seat belts
