The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe fr
ontal impact. A typical
condition is shown in the illustration to the left. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderateto severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration to the right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is above a sp
ecific threshold level.
The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal co
llision straight into a
solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. Thisthreshold level may also
be higher if the vehi-
cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehi
cle, a pole or a guard
rail). The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful, and can cause serious injury or death if you are too clos
e to the deploying air-
bag. Accordingly, it is important that youalways wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the impact anddeform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air- bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the oc
cupant in all types of
frontal collisions, be su
re to always wear your
seat belts properly.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy if the underside of the vehiclesuffers a moderate to
severe impact (under-
carriage impact). Some
typical situations are
shown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts, as show
n in the illustrations,
and these unexpected
impacts can move you
out of position, it is
important to always wear
your seat belts properly.
When worn properly,
seat belts can help maintain your distance from the airbags when they begin to inflate. The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close to the deploying airbag.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when …
WA R N I N G Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate- rial, badges, etc. These could strike andinjure an occupant if
the airbag inflates.
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.

WA R N I N GDo not attach accessories to, or put them in front of, the windshield. They couldrestrict the airbag infl
ation, or strike and
injure an occupant
, when the airbag
inflates. Do not attach addition
al keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or
heavy objects) to the
ignition key. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee ai
rbag from inflating
normally or could be propelled to causeserious injury if
the airbag inflates.
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 orcould be propelled to cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.

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 In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag, do not allow any rear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should betaken with children. Do not place any obje
cts around the area
where the side airbags deploy. Such objects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment, and cause injury duringdeployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers,
labels or additional
trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbag deployment.
 Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where thecurtain airbag deploys
, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof
side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates
, the microphone or
other object may be
hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or seriousinjury.WA R N I N G Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have side airb
ags. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance. Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.WA R N I N G
 Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint systemmust be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible, and make sure that the child stays in the childrestraint system, properly restrained and away from the door. Do not allow a child to
lean against or sit
close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system.The child’s head sh
ould also not lean
against or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if the side airbag or cu
rtain airbag deploys.
Failure to follow all of these instructionscould lead to serious in
jury or death to the
child. Work done on or in th
e vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain
airbag components
should be done only
by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors deal
er. There is a risk
of a serious injury
or death. Improper
work methods can cause accidental sideairbag or curtain ai
rbag deployment, or
render a side airb
ag or curtain airbag
inoperable. Either of these situationscould result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe side
impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment. Also when the vehicle detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain air bags will deploy.Typical situations are
shown in the illustra-
tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. TheSRS side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of alloccupants, be sure to
always wear your seat
belts properly. In certain types of side
collisions, the side air-
bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to belarge, because the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. Thereare also cases where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag may not de
ploy at the same time,
depending on the location of the impact.Some typical situations
where the side air-
bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations on the followingpage. Since the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per-formed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do any service, in
spection, maintenance
or repair on any SRS components or wir- ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or disposed byanyone except an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Improper work methods on the SRS com-ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deployment or could make the SRS inoperable. Ei
ther of these situa-
tions could result in serious injury or death. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component
or related vehicle
part. For example, replacement of thesteering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure can adversely affect SRS performance andmay lead to injury. If your vehicle has re
ceived any damage,
you should have the
SRS inspected by an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer to
make sure it is in proper working order.
