Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
N00407900291
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove compart-
ment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are
designed to deploy at the same time. However, the front pas-
senger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat
is not occupied or when the weight sensor in the front passen-
ger seat senses a weight on the seat of less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg).

light/display appears as indicated. In such cases, an
SRS airbag or a seat belt equipped with pre-ten-
sioner system may not function properly in a colli-
sion. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer:
• Even when the ignition switch or the operation
mode is in ON, the warning light does not come on
or it remains on a few seconds later
• When warning light comes on while driving
• When warning display appears while driving
