Seat belt pre-tensioner
and force limiter systems
4-26 Seat and restraint systems

The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning ofthe vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac-tors (A) and in the front
passenger se
at’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension-ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing andincrease seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON.
The seat belt pre-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,some smoke is released
and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

N00407801532
The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON.The airbags will opera
te under the same con-
ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficientfront or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rolloverof the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed.When airbags deploy, so
me smoke is released
accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke isnot harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so youmay not even notice that the airbag wasinflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driverfrom seeing or being able to steer the vehicle,and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N GThe battery gives off explosive hydrogengas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause seriousinjury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, orlet a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N GNever open the radiator cap when theradiator is hot. You could be seriouslyburned.

Trailer towing6-14 Driving safety
6
Trailer lights and equipment must complywith federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your loca
l recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, anduse only equipment designed for your vehi-cle.Since lighting and wiring
vary by trailer type
and brand, you should have a qualified tech-nician install a suitable connector between thevehicle and the trailer.
Improper equipment or
installation can cause da
mage to your vehi-
cle’s electrical system
and affect your vehicle
warranty.Many states and Canadi
an provinces require
special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required,
you should install spe-
cial mirrors if you ca
nnot clearly see behind
you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency if any
other items are recomm
ended or required for
your towing situation.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount ofexperience.Before setting out for the open road, you’llwant to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling and brakingwith the added weight of the trailer. Alwayskeep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicl
e is without a trailer.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch,safety chains, tires
and mirror adjustment.
Be sure your vehicle’s ti
res are inflated to the
cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbe
rs on the tire and
loading information placard at the sill of thedriver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflati
on pressures” on page
9-19.Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicleahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid
situations that require
heavy braking and sud-
den turns.

Operating hints
WA R N I N GIf you have a rear window open and youtow a trailer with
your vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It cancause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24.To maximize your safe
ty when towing a
trailer:Have your exhaust system inspected forleaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip.Keep the rear windows closed.If exhaust does come into your vehiclethrough a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating orcooling system on an
d with the blower on
any speed. This will
bring fresh, outside
air into your vehicle. Do not use recircula-tion because it only recirculates the airinside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selectionswitch” on page 7-9.

Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the glass and dim or destroythe bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OKC- Blown fuse
CAUTIONNever use a fuse with a capacity greater thanthe one listed or any s
ubstitute, such as wire,
foil etc. This would
cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire.If the replacement fuse blows again after ashort time, have the electrical systemchecked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find and correct
the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTIONBulbs are extremely hot immediately afterbeing turned off.When replacing the bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before
touching it. You could
otherwise be burned.
Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside a halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocki
ng, or scratching a
halogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc.The oil from your hand could cause the bulbto break the next time the headlights areused.If the glass surface is dirty, clean it withalcohol and let it dry completely beforeinstalling the bulb.CAUTIONDo not install commercially available LED-type bulbs. Commercia
lly available LED-
type bulbs could adversely affect the opera-tion of the vehicle, such as by preventing thelights and other vehicle equipment fromoperating properly.CAUTION
