There is a Supplemen
tal Restraint System
(SRS) warning light on the instrument panel.The system checks itself every time the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON. The SRSwarning light will come on for several sec-
onds and then go out. This is normal andmeans the system is working properly.If there is a problem
involving one or more of
the SRS components, the warning light willcome on and stay on. At
the same time, the
warning display will appear on the informa-tion screen in the multi information display(Type 1 only).The SRS warning light/display is shared bythe SRS airbag and the se
at belt pre-tensioner
system.
WA R N I N GIf any of the following conditions occur,you should immediat
ely have the airbag
system in your vehicle inspected by anauthorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as
soon as possible:• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on when an adul
t is sitting on the
front passenger seat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the front passengerseat is not occupied.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when the ignition switch isturned to the “ON” position or the oper-ation mode is put in ON.• The passenger’s airbag off indicator doesnot come on when a
child is in a child
restraint system on the front passenger’sseat.• The passenger’s airbag off indicatorcomes on and goes out repeatedly.
Do not attach any accessory to your vehi-cle that makes the passenger’s airbag offindicator difficult or
impossible to see.
You must be able to see the passenger’sairbag off indicator an
d verify the status
of the passenger’s airbag system.

WA R N I N GIf any of the following conditions occur,there may be a problem with the SRS air-bags and/or seat belt
pre-tensioners, and
they may not function
properly in a colli-
sion or may suddenly
activate without a

on switch or the
operation mode is in ON, the SRS warn-ing light does not come on or it remainson.• The SRS warning light and/or the warn-ing display comes
on while driving.
The SRS airbags and
seat belt pre-ten-

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe fro
ntal impact. A typical
condition is shown in th
e illustration to the
left.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy only in certain moderateto severe frontal collisions within the shadedarea between the arrows in the illustration tothe right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbagwill deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s mainstructure is above a sp
ecific threshold level.
The threshold level is
approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into asolid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure isbelow this threshold le
vel, the front airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. Thisthreshold level may also
be higher if the vehi-
cle hits something that absorbs the impact,either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehi
cle, a pole or a guard
rail).The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful, and can
cause serious injury or
death if you are too clos
e to the deploying air-
bag. Accordingly, it
is important that you
always wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the frontairbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the bodyseems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to
absorb the impact and
deform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare shown in the illustrations.Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air-bag do not protect the oc
cupant in all types of
frontal collisions, be su
re to always wear your
seat belts properly.

and these unexpected impacts can move youout of position, it is
important to always wear
your seat belts properly.

WA R N I N GDo not attach anything to the steeringwheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-rial, badges, etc. These could strike andinjure an occupant if
the airbag inflates.
Do not set anything on, or attach anythingto, the instrument
panel above the glove
compartment. Such items could strike andinjure an occupant if
the airbag inflates.
WA R N I N GDo not attach accessories to, or put themin front of, the wind

The seat belts in your
vehicle are your pri-
mary means of protection in an accident. TheSRS side airbags and curtain airbags aredesigned to provide
additional protection.
Therefore, for your safety and the safety of alloccupants, be sure to always wear your seatbelts 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 belarge, because the vehicle’s body structure isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deformin order to help protect the occupants. Thereare 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 airb
ags may not deploy are
shown in the illustrations.
Since the side airbags and curtain airbags donot protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.
The side airbag and curtain airbag are notdesigned to deploy in situations where theycannot provide protec
tion to the occupants.
Some typical situations are shown in theillustration.

Door locks
WA R N I N GMake sure all doors are tightly closed andlocked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in
an accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from openingdoors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help
prevent outsiders
from gaining access to your vehicle whenyou slow or come to a stop.
Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly beovercome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke.Never leave a ch
ild 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.
