The side airbags and curtainairbags ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc- cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
Head-on collisionsRear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in certain side im-
pacts. Seat belts should always be worn properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and front passenger should not put their arms out the window, and should not lean
against the door, in order to reduce the risk of serious or possible fatal injuryfrom the deploying side airbag and cur-
tain airbag.WARNINGl Do not allow a child to kneel on the pas-
senger seat facing the passenger’s side
door, since the side airbags and curtain airbags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri- ously injured.WARNINGl Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from the
deploying side airbag. Special care should
be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag*
4-39OKTE15E3Seat and seat belts4
WARNINGlDo not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.They could interfere with proper side air-bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that have side airbags. This could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate such as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force orthe curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook.
If the curtain airbag was activated, any
such item could be propelled away with
great force and could prevent the curtain
airbag from inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (withoutusing a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be leaned
against or be close to the area of the seat where the side airbag and curtain airbag
are located. It is dangerous if the side air- bag and curtain airbag inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system to
be done by MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point. Improper work could result in inadvertent deployment of
a side airbags and curtain airbags, or could render a side airbags and curtain airbags inoperative; either situation could
result in serious injury.SRS warning lamp
E00407802761
There is a Supplemental Restraint System
(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition. The SRS warning lamp will come on
for several seconds 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
lamp will come on and stay on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pretensioner system.
WARNINGl If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS air- bags and/or seat belt pretensioners, and they may not function properly in a colli-

Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower willnot make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.

Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and your passengers have fastened your
seat belts.
Floor matsWARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out position, securely retain them using the hooks etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.
Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and children
inside the vehicle. Children may play with the driving controls and this could
lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection in case of an
accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the car-
go area. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is
moving.

The lighter will automatically return to its original position with a “click” when ready.
Pull it out for use.
After use, insert the lighter to its original po-
sition in the socket.NOTEl Do not leave the cigarette lighter removed
from its socket, because the socket might be- come clogged by foreign material and be
short-circuited.CAUTIONl Do not touch heating element or lighter
housing. Hold only the knob to preventburns.
l Do not allow children to operate or play with
the cigarette lighter as burns may occur.
l Something is wrong with the cigarette light-
er if it does not pop back out within approxi-
mately 30 seconds of being pushed in.
Leaving the cigarette lighter pushed in for an
extended period could cause fire. If it does not pop out by itself, we recommend you to
have it checked.
l Do not leave the cigarette lighter pushed in
or insert the cigarette lighter from another
vehicle. Otherwise, the lighter may overheat
and cause fire.
l It is recommended that only the lighter be
inserted in its socket.
Use of “plug-in” type accessories may dam-
age the socket and result in poor retention of the lighter.
