To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat position sensor is attachedto the seat rail and provides the airbag controlunit with information on the seat’s fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment of the driver’s front airbag inaccordance with the information it receives from this sensor. If there is a problem involving the driver’sseat position sensor, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-32.
N00418000322
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat rails and provide the air- bag control unit with information regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. Theairbag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passengerairbag off indicator will come on. Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 4-31.If there is a problem involving the passenger seat weight sensors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-32.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves- tigation.

The passenger airbag off indicator is located in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goesout a few seconds later. In the following situ- ations, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger front airbag is not operational.  The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less than approximately 66pounds (30 kg) on the front passenger seat.  The front passenger’s seat is not occu- pied.
When the weight applied to the front passen- ger seat is sensed to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator goesout to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.
 To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors can correctly sense the weight being applied to the seat, observe the fol- lowing instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect the per-formance of the passenger’s airbag sys- tem.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back against the seatback. Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary.• Never have more than one person (adultor child) sitting on the seat.• Do not place anything between the seatand the floor console.• Do not hang anything on the front pas-senger’s seatback.• Do not remove the head restraints.• When attaching a child restraint system, secure it firmly.• Do not place luggage or other objects onthe seat.• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not remove the seats and seat belts.• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place the floor mat on the seatrails.WA R N I N G
• Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.• Do not subject the sensors to shock.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to pushthe front passenger seat with their feet or force the front passenger seat upward.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to graspthe front passenger’s seatback or puttheir arms around it.• When attaching a child restraint systemin the rear seat, make sure it does not interfere with the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensors inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer assoon as possible.

Warning display type 1 Warning display type 2The system checks itself every time the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON. The SRS warning light will come on for several sec- onds and then go out. This is normal andmeans the system is working properly. If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning light willcome 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 light/display is shared bythe SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. Typical situations are shown in the illustration above. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration tothe right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main
structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may not deploy. This
threshold level may also be higher if the vehi- cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guardrail).
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close to
the deploying airbag.
Accordingly, it is important that you alwayswear the available seat belt.

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.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are not designed to deploy in situations where
they cannot provide protection to the occu- pants. Typical situations are shown in the illustra- tion. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy if the underside of the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe impact (under- carriage impact). Typical situations areshown in the illustration. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts, as shown in the illustrations, and these unexpected impacts can move youout of position, it is important to always wear the seat belts properly. When worn properly, seat belts can help maintain your distancefrom the airbags when they begin to inflate.

Your vehicle is equipped with a curtain air-bag in the front pillar, the rear pillar and theside sections 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.
