WARNINGlWe recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system to
be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.SRS warning lamp
E00407802963
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 or the operation mode is put in ON.
The SRS warning lamp will come on for sev- eral 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- 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 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.NOTEl On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLO-
NASS, if the ERA-GLONASS system oper- ates, the SRS warning lamp illuminates.SRS servicing
E00407902746
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 On vehicles with the side airbags, do not
modify your front seats, centre pillar 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.

then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the ve- hicle moving could make the rear wheels
lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta- ble. It could also make the parking brake
malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.NOTEl If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.CAUTIONl If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re- leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-15.NOTEl To prevent the parking brake from being re-
leased unintentionally, the lever must be
pulled up slightly before it can be pushed down. Simply pressing the button does not
enable the lever to be pushed down.Parking
