WARNINGlDo not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.
l Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi- tion, do not modify, remove or install the seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not
be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.WARNINGl A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.Supplemental restraint
system (SRS)-airbag E00407203645
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are designed to supplement the primary pro-
tection of the driver and front passenger side
seat belt systems by providing those occu- pants with protection against head and chestinjuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal
collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protectionin certain moderate-to-severe frontal colli- sions.
The SRS side airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the
driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries in certain moderate-to-
severe side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup-
plement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection
against head injuries in certain moderate-to-
severe side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur- ing all types of collisions and accidents, all occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works

Front passenger’s airbag indi-cator
E00410201528
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is lo-
cated in the instrument panel.
The both indicator normally comes on when
the operation mode of the power switch is put
in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. When the front pas-
senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi- nute to show that the front passenger’s airbagis operational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301259WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF, before operating
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after putting the operation mode
in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so could lead to improper position of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.WARNING• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a child restraint system is fitted to the
front passenger seat.
• If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON- OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a
child restraint system to the front pas- senger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the OFF indicator remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow any- one to sit on the front passenger seat.
We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Remove the emergency key from the
keyless operation key.
Refer to “Emergency key” on page 4-14.
2. Insert the emergency key into the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the “OFF” position.
3. Remove the emergency key from the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
