of
the

The SRS includes the following components:
The
airbag
control
unit
monitors
the
readiness
of the
electronic
parts
of the
system
whenever
the
ignition
switch
is
in
the
“ON”
or
“ST
ART”
position.
These
include
all
of
the
items listed above and all related wiring. The
airbags
will
operate
only
when
the
igni-
tion
switch
is in the
“ON”
or
“ST
ART”
posi-
tion. When
the
impact
sensors
detect
a front
or
side
impact
suf
ficient
to deploy
the
airbag(s),
the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When
airbags
deploy
, some
smo
ke
is relea
sed
accompanied
by
a loud
noise.
The
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
do
not
intentionally
inhale
the
smoke
as
it may
cause
temporary
irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.After
deployment,
the
airbags
will
quickly
deflate,
so
quickly
that
some
people
may
not
even
realize
the
airbags
inflated.
Airbag
inflation
does
not
prevent
the
driver
from
seeing
or being
able
to steer
the
vehicle,
and
does
not
prevent
people
from
leaving

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still keeping good visibil- ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls.Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible problem.  Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.  Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance withall laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-7, 7-12, 7-17.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressures.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distancesresulting in a crash and injury. Always make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floormat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle ev
en if it is a Mit-
subishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean-ing the inside of your vehicle or for any other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein-stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with the engine off, check that the floor mat is not interfering with the pedals by depressingthe pedals fully.
