The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.The typical situation is shown in the illustra- tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags and curtain airbags are designed toprovide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear your seat belts properly. In certain types of side collisions, the side air- bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. There are also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy at the same time, depending on the location of the impact. Some typical situations where the side air-bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger 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 section of theseatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if
the side airbag or curtain airbag deploys.Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious injury or death to the child. Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag or curtain airbag componentsshould be done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a serious injury or death. Improperwork methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or curtain airbaginoperable. Either of these situations could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per- formed only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Do not permit anyone elseto do any service, inspection, maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wir- ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS shouldever be handled, removed or disposed by anyone except an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Improper work methods on the SRS com- ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deployment or could makethe SRS inoperable. Either of these situa- tions could result in serious injury or death. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component or related vehiclepart. For example, replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure canadversely affect SRS performance and may lead to injury. If your vehicle has received any damage, you should have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to make sure it is in proper working order.
Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modifications can adversely affect SRS performance and may lead to injury. Also, if you discover any tear or openseam in the seat fabric near the side air- bag, have the seat inspected by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of the front andrear pillars and roof side rail, you should have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applicable sec-tions in this owner’s manual. If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge you to first take
it to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer so that the SRS can be made safe for disposal. If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by a handicapped person, the advanced airbag system will be greatly affected.

Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in combination with theuse of seat belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from opening doors and falling out of moving vehicles.• Locked doors can help prevent outsidersfrom gaining access to your vehicle whenyou slow or come to a stop.
Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. In addition to the risk of heat stroke, chil-dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident.

Starting the engine 5-48 Features and controls
5
For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu- rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping the engine” on page 5-20. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter(F.A.S.T.-key)] Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than
15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage thestarter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF” position, wait a few seconds, and then tryagain. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism. If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2)for instructions.
A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The
engine is warmed up
enough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display startsto move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition switch or operation mode in ON)” on page 5-95.
This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys- tem that automatically controls fuel injection.
There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine. The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a time.To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.2. Insert the ignition key. 3. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 4. Press and hold the brake pedal downfirmly with your right foot.5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle). 6.

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-61
5
When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” position at low speed, a slight differ- ence in steering may be experienced similarto feeling as if the brakes were applied. This
is called tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon is typical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If thisoccurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO” or “4WD LOCK” in accordance with the road conditions, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi- cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim- its to the system and ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructio
ns and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.NOTE
Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and servicehas been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condition of the tires, and check the tire pres-sures. Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.
Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you. The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt. After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection and maintenance following rough road opera-tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” position to drive on dry paved roadwill increase fuel consumption, with possible noise generation.
Turning sharp corners
NOTE
On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
The use of snow tires is recommended. Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
