CAUTIONlAirbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and could cause serious or fatal injuries whenthey inflate.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.WARNINGl Older children should be seated, properly
wearing the seat belt, with an appropriatebooster seat if needed.Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicles with frontpassenger’s airbag

OFF switch (Club cab and Double cab)
E00410101455
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
can be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If you have a child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch be-
fore using it.
(Refer to “To turn an airbag off (Club cab
and Double cab)” on page 4-27)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is located as shown in the illustration.
Front passenger’s airbag indi-
cator (Club cab and Doublecab)
E00410201430
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is lo-
cated in the instrument panel.
The both indicator normally comes on when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will
stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. When the front pas- senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi-
nute to show that the front passenger’s airbag is operational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off (Club cab

WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode in OFF, before operating the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” position or putting the
operation mode in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air- bag.

WARNING•Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch. Failure to do so could lead to improper position ofthe front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch.
• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a child restraint system is fitted to the
front passenger seat.
• If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a child restraint system to the front pas-
senger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the OFF indicator remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow any- one to sit on the front passenger seat.
We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition or put the operation mode in ON. The front passenger’s airbag OFF indi-
cation lamp will stay on.
The front passenger’s airbag is now deactiva- ted and will not deploy until switched on
again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s
airbag system
E00407402015
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained in
the instrument panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag inflates at two different rates according to the severity of the impact
(if so equipped).
The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s
airbag are designed to inflate at the same time even if the passenger seat is not occu-pied.

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 wornproperly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
l The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate
with great force. The driver and passen-
ger should not put their arms out of the window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce the risk of serious or possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbag and curtain airbag.WARNINGl Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from the
deploying side airbag. Special care should
be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side air-bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags.
Do not re-cover seats that have side air-
bags. This could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force orthe curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook. If the curtain
airbag was activated, any such item could
be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag from in-
flating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the area where the
side airbag and curtain airbag are loca-
ted. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain airbag inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
