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, inspection, maintenanceor repair on any SR
S 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 meth
ods 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 SR
S performance and
may lead to injury. If your vehicle has received any damage, you should have the
SRS inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to
make sure it is in proper working order.
Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modificationscan adversely affect
SRS performance and
may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found an
y scratch, crack or
damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should
have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we
urge you to alert the
new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS
and refer that owner to the applicable sec- tions in this owner’s manual. If you decide to junk or
scrap your vehicle,
we urge you to first take it to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer so that the SRS canbe made safe for disposal. If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by a handicapped person,the advanced airbag system will be greatly affected. Please consult an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer. • Driver’s seat • Front passenger seat • Front seat beltWA R N I N G

anches, or a banner.
• When there are patterns on the road that may be mistaken for
a vehicle or a pedes-
trian.• When a vehicle cuts into your path in thedetecting range of the sensor.• When an oncoming vehicle is positionedstraight ahead of
your vehicle on a
curved road.• When the FCM detects a long object car-ried on your vehicle,
such as skies or a
roof carrier.• When driving through fog, steam, smokeor dust.

the trailer, if any, being towed. The tire andloading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle: Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis-tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two. Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.
Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including themaximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and cool-
ant. Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those st
andard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transaxle, power steering, power brakes, power win-dows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory- installed equipment (whether installed or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg) * times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity. Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items which they replace, not prev
iously considered in
curb weight or accessory weight, includ-ing heavy duty brakes,
ride levelers, roof
rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim. Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg) * times the number of
specified occupants

Towing a trailer will adversely affect yourvehicle’s handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel con-sumption, etc.). If you do tow a trailer
with this vehicle, be
sure to use proper e
quipment and cautious
steering and braking for safe driving.
Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure itis securely fastened to the roof carrier.Stop the vehicle periodi
cally and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle anddamage your vehicle,
another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.NOTE

Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or when water does not bead up on the paint. Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of waxon the painted surfaces.
After the wax has
dried, polish with
a dry soft cloth.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.You should wax when the painted surfaces are cool.
N00946100046
If painted surfaces ha
ve been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and colortone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damage
d surface only; polish
a somewhat wider area
, moving the polishing
cloth in one direction.
After polishing, flush
the compound from the surface and apply acoat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946201099
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coatshould be touched up as
soon as possible with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tirescarefully for damage to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The
paint code number for
your vehicle can be found on the vehicle
information code plate located on the front passenger door sill.
N00946301221
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.If the vehicle wax sticks to a gray or blackrough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and a soft cloth or chamois.
Waxing
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. Th
ese waxes remove rust
and stain effectively fr
om the paintwork, but
are harmful to the finish of the paint, because they also remove paint/clearcoat. They are also harmful to other glossy sur-faces such as the grille, trim, moldings, etc. Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other dirt
from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because
it can cause uneven
discoloration, patches,
blurs, etc. If these get
wax on them, wipe the wax off right away with a soft clot
h and warm water.
On vehicles with sunr
oof, be careful not to
apply any wax on the
weatherstrip (black
rubber) when waxing the area around thesunroof opening. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot
maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun-roof.
Polishing Damaged paint
CAUTION
Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may damage the plasticsurface. Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which ma
y damage the plas-
tic surface. Do not let plastic parts
get soiled with gaso-
line, oil, brake fluids
, engine oils, greases,
paint thinner, and sulfuric acid (battery elec-trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration. If any of these get on a plastic part, wipethem up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinse them immediately with water.
