The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the 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 theF. 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 operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed. When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag was inflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

The passenger’s seat occupant classification sensor system is attached to the front passen- ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con- trol unit with information regarding theoccupant on the front passenger seat. The air- bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance withthe information it receives from this system.The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu- pant on the front passenger’s seat or a child ina child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger airbag off indicator will come on. Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” onpage 4-35. If there is a problem involving the passen- ger’s seat occupant classification sensor sys-tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 4-36.

The passenger’s airbag off indicator is located in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON, and goes out a few seconds later. In the following situ- ations, the indicator will stay on to show thatthe passenger front airbag is not operational.  The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.  The system senses that a child is using a child restraint system on the front passen- ger’s seat.
When the passenger’s seat occupant classifi- cation sensor system sense there is a person seated in the front passenger’s seat, the indi- cator goes out to show that the passenger’sfront airbag is operational.
• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place and use an electronic devicesuch as a computer on the seat.• Do not place heavy objects on the seat orstick pins, needles, or other objects into it.• Do not remove the seat cushion skin.• If any liquid is spilled on the seat, wipe it and dry the seat immediately.

There is a Supplemental 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 and means the system is working properly.If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning light 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 light/display is shared bythe SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is shown in the illustration to theleft. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shadedarea between the arrows in the illustration to the right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbagwill deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s mainstructure is above a specific 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. If the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbagsand driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. This threshold level may also be higher if the vehi- cle hits something that absorbs the impact,either by bending or moving (for example, another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guard rail).The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful, and can cause serious injury or death if you are too close to the deploying air-bag. Accordingly, it is important that you always wear the available seat belt.
In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems 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 occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wear yourseat belts properly.

they cannot provide protection to the occu- pants. Some typical situations are shown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to
always wear your seat
belts properly.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy if the underside of the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe impact (under- carriage impact). Some typical situations areshown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts, as shown in the illustrations, and these unexpected impacts can move youout of position, it is important to always wear your seat belts properly. When worn properly, seat belts can help maintain your distancefrom the airbags when they begin to inflate. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injury ordeath if you are close
to the deploying airbag.

The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and front passenger seatbacks.The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the front seat. There is a symbol on the seatbacks that are equipped with side airbags.
 Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the instrument panel above the glove compartment. Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates. Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of, the windshield. They could restrict the airbag inflation, or strike and injure an occupant, when the airbaginflates. Do not attach additional keys or accesso- ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to the ignition key. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflationnormally or could be propelled to cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.WA R N I N G
 Do not attach accessories to the lower por- tion of the driver’s side instrument panel. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or could be propelled to cause serious injuryif the airbag inflates. Do not attempt to remove, install, disas- semble or repair the SRS airbags. Do not place objects, such as packages or pets, between the airbags and the driveror the front passenger. Such objects can adversely affect airbag performance, or cause serious injury or death when theairbag deploys. Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the airbag system will be hot. Do not touch them. You could otherwise be burned. The airbag system is designed to work only once. After the airbags deploy, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire airbag systemmust be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.WA R N I N G
