A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt. If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ONwithout the driver’s seat belt being fastened, a
warning light will come on and a tone will sound for approximately 6 seconds to remindyou to fasten your seat belt. If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still unfastened, the warning light will blink andthe tone will sound inte
rmittently until the
seat belt is fastened. At the same time, “FAS- TEN SEAT BELT” is displayed on the infor-mation screen in the multi information display (Type 1 only).

located in the instrument panel. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off a few seconds later.The light comes on when a person sits on the front passenger seat but does not fasten the seat belt. It goes off wh
en the seat belt is sub-
sequently fastened.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components:
The airbag control unit
monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These include all of the item
s listed above a
nd all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The seat belt pre-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit. When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released
and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre- tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with the seat belt pre-ten- sioner system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These include all of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The airbags will opera
te under the same con-
ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will be deployed. When airbags deploy, so
me smoke is released
accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhale the smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag wasinflated. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle,and does not prevent people from leaving the vehicle.

The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they haveaccess to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat position sensor is attachedto the seat rail and provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controlsdeployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, the SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning light/dis
play” on page 4-39.

 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash si
tuation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driv-ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, a

recorded. However, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying
data routinely acquire

The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenger’s seat or a child in a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger airbag off indi
cator will come on.

The passenger airbag off indicator is located in the instrument panel. The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situ-
ations, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger front airb
ag is not operational.
 The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
WA R N I N GIf any of the follow
ing conditions occur,
you should immediatel
y have your vehicle

ght comes on while
you are driving.
 To ensure that the passenger’s seat occu- pant classification sensor system can sense correctly, observe the following instruc-tions. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect
the performance of
the passenger’s airbag system.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back
against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-4.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary.• Never have more th
an one person (adult
or child) sitting on the seat.• Do not place anything between the seatand the floor console.• When attaching a child restraint system,secure it firmly.• Do not place luggage or other objects onthe seat.• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not modify or re
place the seat and
seat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place and use
an electronic device
such as a computer on the seat.• Do not place heavy obje
cts on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other objects intoit.• Do not remove the seat cushion skin.WA R N I N G

There is a Supplemen
tal Restraint System
(SRS) warning light on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON. The SRS warning light will come on for several sec-
onds and then go out. This is normal and means the system is working properly.If there is a problem
involving one or more of
the SRS components, the warning light will come on and stay on. At
the same time, the
warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi information display (Type 1 only).The SRS warning light/display is shared by the SRS airbag and the se
at belt pre-tensioner
system.
WA R N I N G If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediat
ely have the airbag
system in your vehicle inspected by anauthorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as
soon as possible:• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on when an adul
t is sitting on the
front passenger seat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the front passengerseat is not occupied.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the oper- ation mode is put in ON.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when a
child is in a child
restraint system on the front passenger’s seat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on and goes out repeatedly.
