Seat beltsE00404800825
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts are worn correctly while driv-ing.
A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an
airbag has a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a conventional seatbelt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-13 .WARNINGl Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger-
ous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat- back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im- pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall enough to
wear seat belts properly.WARNINGl Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in
an accident, including the deploying driv-
er’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still allows good visibility andgood control of the steering wheel, the
brake and accelerator, and vehicle con- trols.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901126
This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.

Supplemental restraint
system (SRS) - airbag* E00407202273
The information written in this Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) section contains im- portant points concerning the driver, front
passenger, side and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags
are designed to supplement the primary pro- tection of the driver and front passenger side
seat belt systems by providing those occu- pants with protection against head and chest
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbag is designed to supple-
ment the properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and front passenger with protection
against chest injury in certain moderate-to-se-
vere side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup- plement the properly worn seat belts and pro-
vide the driver and passengers with protec-
tion against head injuries in certain moderate- to-severe side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts; for maximum protection in all types of
crashes and accidents, seat belts should AL- WAYS be worn by everyone who drives or
rides in this vehicle.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIR- BAG:
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-
sengers properly positioned, which re- duces injury risk in all collisions, andreduces the risk of serious or fatal inju-
ries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained or improper-
ly restrained driver or passengers can move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the colli- sion.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause se- rious or fatal injuries if the occupant contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in
roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and inlower-speed frontal collisions, because
driver’s and passenger’s airbags are
not designed to inflate in those situa-
tions.WARNING• Seat belts reduce the risk of being
thrown from your vehicle in a collision
or roll-over.
l IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air- bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when it inflates.
• Before driving, adjust the driver’s seat
as far back as possible while still main-taining complete control of the vehicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen-
ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al-
ways properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the
driver and passengers should sit well
back and upright without leaning against the window or door.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the
instrument panel.

senger’s airbag is not operational. ( “Front
passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp” on page 4-32)
That airbag will remain OFF, and will NOT
deploy, until it is turned ON again.WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• If the indication lamp does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON- OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a
rearward facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat.
• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a
rearward facing child restraint system is fitted to the front passenger seat.To turn an airbag on

tion.
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp goes off to show that the front passen-
ger’s airbag is operational.

That airbag will remain ON, and will be
ready to deploy, until it is again turned OFF.
WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Turn ON the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch immediately after re-
moving a rearward facing child re-
straint system from the front passenger
seat.WARNING• If the indication lamp remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, do not allow any-
one to sit on the front passenger seat.Front passenger’s airbag OFF

WARNINGlIf the indication lamp behaves in any of
the following ways, there may be a fault inthe airbag system.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.
• The indication lamp does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON- OFF switch is turned OFF.
• The indication lamp stays on when the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON.WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.Driver’s and passenger’s front
airbag system
E00407400330
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained in
the instrument panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are designed to inflate at the same
time even if the passenger seat is not occu- pied.
Deployment of front airbags
E00407501354
The front airbags ARE DE- SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…

4-33OKTE15E3Seat and seat belts4

Head-on collision with a solid wall at speed of
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher Moderate to severe frontal impact within the shaded
area between the arrowsThe 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 impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately
25 km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting
straight into a solid wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is be-low the above threshold level, the front air- bags may not deploy. However, this thresh-
old speed will be considerably higher if the
vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the im- pact by either deforming or moving (for ex-
ample, another stationary 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 thesteering 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 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 safety of all occu-
pants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.The front airbags MAY NOT
DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorbthe shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags
may not deploy irrespective of the deforma- tion and damage to the vehicle body. Exam-
ples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.

WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-
rial, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occu-
pant if the airbag inflates.WARNINGl 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 objects
between the airbags and the driver orfront passenger. It could affect airbagperformance, or could cause injury when the airbag inflates.
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 recommend
you to have the entire airbag system in- spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

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-
