Curtain airbag system*
E00409100559
The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve- hicle that is impacted, even with no passen- ger in the front seat or rear seat.
Deployment of side airbags and
curtain airbags
E00407701415
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustra-
tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in a collision. The SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are de-
signed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY
when…
With certain types of side collisions, the ve- hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Also, depending on the location
of the impact, the side airbags and curtain air-
bags may not deploy simultaneously.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Side impacts in an area away from the
passenger compartment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehi-
cle collides with the side of vehicle

3-Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always properlywear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are notdesigned to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc- cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in certain side im-
pacts. Seat belts should always be worn properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying side airbags and curtain airbags.

SRS warning lamp/display
E00407802790
Warning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2

The system checks itself every time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON. The SRSwarning lamp will come on for several sec-
onds 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. At the same time, thewarning 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 ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come 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
E00407901521
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.

Economical drivingE00600101076
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts,
as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode
(4WD vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to
“2WD” when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible fuel
economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con- sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a
slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al-
so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.

On vehicles equipped with CVT, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.Vehicles with M/TVehicles with CVT
NOTEl On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not
operate unless the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position. For safety reasons, start the engine in the
“P” (PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.
6. After turning the ignition key to the
“ON” position, make certain that all
warning lamps are functioning properly before starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal, and release it when the engine starts.
NOTEl Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
When it is difficult to start the
engine
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such
as lamps, air conditioning blower and
rear window demister, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal ( CVT)
or the clutch pedal ( M/T), press the ac-
celerator pedal halfway and hold it there,
then crank the engine. Release the accel- erator pedal, immediately after the en-
gine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal (CVT ) or the clutch pedal ( M/T), push
the accelerator pedal all the way down
and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position and re- lease the accelerator pedal. Wait a fewseconds, and then crank the engine again
for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the
brake pedal ( CVT) or the clutch pedal
(M/T ), but do not push the accelerator
pedal. Release the ignition key if the en-
gine starts. If the engine fails to start, re- peat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, we recommend you to
have the vehicle checked.Starting the engine (diesel-
powered vehicles)

2.Release the clutch pedal. The “” dis-
play/indicator will turn on and the en- gine will stop automatically.Type 1Type 2
NOTEl When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay closel attention to the following.
• The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. If the
vehicle is moving, press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
• The electric power steering system (EPS)
becomes inoperative and it will become
harder to turn the steering wheel.CAUTIONl Observe the following precautions when the
engine is stopped automatically. Otherwise,
an unexpected accident might occur when the engine restarts automatically.
• Do not depress the accelerator pedal to
race the engine while the vehicle is stop-
ped (regardless of whether the engine is running or stopped).
Otherwise, an unexpected accident might
occur when the engine restarts automati- cally.
• When the engine is automatically stopped,
do not attempt to exit the vehicle.
Because the engine restarts automatically when the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
or the driver’s door is opened, an unex- pected accident might occur when the ve-
hicle starts moving.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position,
the “
” display/indicator blinks and the
buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the “N”
(Neutral) position, the display/indicator
stops blinking and the buzzer stops sound- ing. The engine will not restart if the gear-
shift lever is in a position other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
NOTEl In the following cases, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate and the en- gine will not stop automatically even if thevehicle is stopped.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• Driver’s door is open.
• Bonnet is open.
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap-
proximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• After the engine starts, approximately 30
seconds or more have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• Ambient temperature is low.
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficiently
cooled.
