WARNINGlThe 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 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 the risk of injury from
a deploying side airbag. Special care
should be taken with children.WARNINGl 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 the seats with side airbags. They 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 activate such as
on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or assistgrips. When the curtain airbags inflate,
the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force or the cur- tain airbags may not activate correctly,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 inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (withoutusing 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.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system to
be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag

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.
