Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts as shown in the illustration that can easily move you out of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a
safe distance from the steering wheel and in- strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or accessories. 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 attach accessories to the lower
portion of the driver’s side instrumentpanel. Such objects could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating nor-
mally or could be propelled and cause se- rious injury if the airbag inflates.WARNINGl 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.WARNINGl Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
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.Side airbag system
E00407600619
The side airbags (A) are contained in the
driver and front passenger seatbacks.
The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, evenwith no passenger in the front seat.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
5-35OGGE16E1Seats and seat belts5
If there is a problem involving one or more of
the SRS components, the warning lamp 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.
The SRS warning lamp/display 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-
sion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
• Even when the operation mode is in
ON, the SRS warning lamp does notcome on or it remains on.
• The SRS warning lamp and/or the
warning display comes on while driv- ing.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pretension- ers are designed to help reduce the risk of
serious injury or death in certain colli- sions. If either of the above conditions oc-
curs, immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.SRS servicing
E00407902658
WARNINGl We recommend any maintenance per-
formed on or near the components of the
SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper work on the SRS components or wiring could result in inadvertent de-
ployment of the airbags, or could render
the SRS inoperative; either situation could result in serious injury.
l Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
belt retractor or any other SRS compo-
nents. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can ad- versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
l If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we recommend you to have the SRS in- spected to ensure it is in proper workingorder.
l Do not modify your front seats, centre pil-
lar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
l If you found any tear, scratch, crack or
damage to the portion where the airbag is
stored, you should have the SRS inspected
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.NOTEl If your vehicle has to be scrapped, do this in
line with local legislation and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point to safely dismantle the airbag sys- tem.

Parking with the engine run-ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the se-
lector lever or the accumulation of toxic
exhaust fumes on the passenger compart- ment.
Where you park
WARNINGl 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.
When leaving the vehicle
Always carry the key and lock all doors and
the tailgate when leaving the vehicle unatten-
ded.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.
CAUTIONl When you leave the vehicle, be sure that you
have stopped the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
The engine may start suddenly by a remain-
ing amount decline of the drive battery.Steering wheel height and

Stopping the Plug-in HybridEV System
E00620801268
1. Stop your vehicle completely.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly while
depressing the brake pedal.
3. After pressing the electrical parking
switch, press the power switch to stop Plug-in Hybrid EV System. (Refer to
“Electrical Parking switch” on page 7-15.)
WARNINGl Never stop Plug-in Hybrid EV System
during running except in emergency. The effectiveness of the brake becomes very
poor and the steering wheel becomes very
heavy, which can easily lead to an acci- dent.NOTEl Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in emergency. If you have tostop Plug-in Hybrid EV System in emergen-cy during running, continue to press the power switch for three seconds or longer or
press the power switch three times or more
quickly. Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops, the operation mode turns to ACC, and the
selector lever position shifts to the “P” posi- tion at very slow speed.NOTEl If you press the power switch when the se-
lector lever position is other than “P” posi-tion while your vehicle is stopped, the selec-
tor lever position automatically shifts to “P”
position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops, and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
l If the parking lock mechanism is faulty, a
warning is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display. When this warning is displayed, Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System cannot be stopped unless you apply the parking brake and then press the power switch. Park on a flat place with
the parking brake securely applied. Have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly

System or changing the operation mode.NOTEl Do not insert into the key slot anything other
than the keyless operation key. This couldcause damage or a malfunction.
l Remove the object or additional key from
the the keyless operation key before insert-ing the key into the key slot. The vehicle
may not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the registered key. Therefore, the Plug-in Hybrid EV System may not start and
the operation mode may not change.
l The keyless operation key is fixed in the key
slot when inserted in the illustrated direc- tion. Simply pull out the key to remove it
from the key slot.
