In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to absorb the impact and deform in order to help protect the occupants. Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare shown in the illustrations. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wearyour seat belts properly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a curtain airbagin the front pillar, the rear pillar and the sidesections of the roof. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted,even with no passenger in the seat. Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbagswill deploy.
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to remove, install, disas- semble or repair the SRS airbags. Do not place objects, such as packages or pets, between the airbags and the driver or the front passenger. Such objects can adversely affect airbag performance, orcause serious injury or death when the airbag deploys. Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the airbag system will be hot. Do not touch them. You could otherwise beburned. The airbag system is designed to work only once. After the airbags deploy, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire airbag systemmust be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

WA R N I N G Side airbags and curtain airbags can cause serious injury or death to anyone too close to the airbag when it deploys. To reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag or curtain airbag, driver andfront passenger must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the middle of the seat. Do not leanagainst the door.WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag, do not allow anyrear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should be taken with children.
 Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Such objects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment, and cause injury during deployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the back of either front seat. Theycan interfere with proper side airbag deployment. Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where the curtain airbag (B) deploys, such as on thewindshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the curtain airbag inflates, the microphone orother object may be hurled with great force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or seriousinjury.WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur- tain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag frominflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharpobjects in the pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook. Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have side airbags. Covers can inter- fere with proper side airbag deploymentand adversely affect side airbag perfor- mance. Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child restraint system must be used in the front passenger seat,move the seat as far back as possible, and make sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door.

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.The typical situation is shown in the illustra- tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags and curtain airbags are designed toprovide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear your seat belts properly. In certain types of side collisions, the side air- bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. There are also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy at the same time, depending on the location of the impact. Some typical situations where the side air-bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.
 Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the section of theseatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if
the side airbag or curtain airbag deploys.Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious injury or death to the child. Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag or curtain airbag componentsshould be done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a serious injury or death. Improperwork methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or curtain airbaginoperable. Either of these situations could result in serious injury or death. Do not place luggage heavier than the specified on the roof carrier. Such luggage may cause the curtain air-bags to inflate accidentally, which could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

It is very importan
t to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight andincludes the weight of all occupants, cargo (including the roof load), non-factory-
installed options, if any, being towed. The tire and loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis-tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two. Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.
 Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool- ant. Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmis-sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are availableas factory- installed equipment (whetherinstalled or not).  Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity.  Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includ- ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roofrack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
* times the number of specified
occupants. (In your vehicle the number is 3)
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can damage your vehicle, adversely affectvehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.
