SRS warning lamp
E00407801706
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-WARNINGsion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
• Even when the ignition switch is
in“ON” position, the SRS warning lamp does not come on or it remains
on.
• The SRS warning lamp comes on while
driving.
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
E00407901390
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.WARNINGl 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 On vehicles equipped with side airbags,
do not modify your front seats, centre pil- lar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury. If you found
any tear, scratch, crack or damage to the
seat fabric near the side airbag, the por-
tion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, you should have the SRS inspec- ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.NOTEl When you transfer ownership of the vehicle
to some other person, we urge you to alert
the new owner that it is equipped with the SRS and refer the new owner to the applica- ble section in this owner’s manual.
