N00407801587
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 is under the following conditions. These includeall of the item
s listed above a
nd all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with theF.A.S.T.-key] 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 inhale
the smoke as it may ca
use 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 driverfrom seeing or being able
to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properlyworn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed. Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint syst
ems” on page 4-21.

The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and front passenger seatbacks. The side airbag is de
signed to inflate only on
the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the front seat. A label is attached to the seatbacks in vehi- cles equipped with side airbags.
N00419201357
The curtain airbags are contained in the frontpillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate onlyon the side of the ve
hicle that is impacted,
even with no passenger in the seat. Also, when the airbag control unit detectsrollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy.
WA R N I N G 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 ai
rbag performance, or
cause serious injury or death when theairbag deploys. Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the airbag syst
em 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 system must be inspected by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.

WA R N I N G The side airbags and curtain airbags can cause serious injury
or death to anyone
too close to the airb
ag when it deploys. To
reduce the risk of in
jury from a deploying
side airbag and curtai
n airbag, all occu-
pants must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the mid- dle of the seat. Do
not lean against the
door.

All parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice at regular intervals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake drums, and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or throughlarge puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brakepedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brak
es less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take
advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down- hill slope, into the 1st position when parking on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before
moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the

The air conditioning system is equipped withan air filter to re
move pollen
and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the maintenance interval,refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading informati
on placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3. Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While th
e compact spare tire is
being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function
properly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the compact spare tire. Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance between the ground and your vehicle.
Because the compact spare tire is designed only for your vehicle, do not use it on anyother vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ- ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or other parts on yourvehicle. Do not use tire chains with your compact spare tire. Using a chain could cause damage to your vehicle and loss of the chains.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam- age the bumper and front end.Towing with rear wheels off the ground. Do not tow CVT vehicles with this style. Towing with front wheels off the ground.
Do not tow continuously variable transmis- sion (CVT) vehicles with the driving wheelson the ground (Type B) as illustrated. If thevehicle is towed like
this, the continuously
variable transmission (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the transmission, thus dam-aging it. If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equipment. If the manual transaxl
e is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C), the Active Stability Control (ASC) may operate, result
ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position or put
the operation mode in
ACC. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the operation mode as follows.[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is
