SRS warning lamp/display
E00407803191
There is a Supplemental Restraint System(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time
the operation mode of the power switch is put in ON. 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. At the same time, thewarning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
The SRS warning lamp/display 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-
sion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
• Even when the operation mode is in
ON, the SRS warning lamp does not come on or it remains on.
• The SRS warning lamp and/or the
warning display comes on while driv- ing.
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
E00407902658WARNINGl 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 Do not modify your front seats, centre pil-
lar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
l If you found any tear, scratch, crack or
damage to the portion where the airbag is stored, you should have the SRS inspected
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.NOTEl If your vehicle has to be scrapped, do this in
line with local legislation and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point to safely dismantle the airbag sys- tem.

ScreenSystem operation statusReferencelDriving power is restricted by the safety
system as the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
has become too hot or too cold.l You do not have to take any actions. The
restriction on the driving power will be re- leased when the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem returns to the normal temperature.l If the vehicle had not been refueled about
15 litres or more at one time for threemonths, the engine starts automatically
for the maintenance of the engine or the fuel system components.
This display may appear frequently de-
pending on the use conditions of your ve- hicle such as when fuel has been staying
in the fuel tank for a long time.
When the engine is running, this display shows the state where the drive battery is
charged, and the battery charge mode dis-
play (
) is displayed. But the
drive battery will not be full charge.
l Refill the 15 litres more at one time. This
display and battery charge mode display will disappear, and the engine will not au- tomatically start for maintenance.
If the fuel remaining display will be be- low half, you can refill the fuel more than
15 litres certainly.
l If you cannot refill the fuel due to the
large amount of remaining fuel, start the engine and drive the vehicle enough to re-duce the fuel level to approximately half
tank.l The accelerator pedal has been depressed
when the select position is in the “N”
