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.

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

The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillar, the rear pillar and the side sections ofthe roof. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted,even with no passenger in the seat. Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbagswill deploy.Curtain airbag system
WA R N I N G The side airbags and curtain airbags can cause serious injury or death to anyone too close to the airbag when it deploys. To reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag or curtain airbag, driver andfront passenger must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the middle of the seat. Do not leanagainst the door. In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag, do not allow anyrear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should be taken with children. Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Suchobjects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment, and cause injury during deployment 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 the curtain airbag (B) deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When thecurtain airbag inflates, the microphone or other object may be hurled with great force or the curtain airbag may not inflatecorrectly, resulting in death or serious injury. Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur- tain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great forceand could prevent the curtain airbag from inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger).Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers amoderate to severe side impact to the middle of the passenger compartment. Also when the vehicle detects rollover of thevehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy. Typical situations are
shown in the illustra-
tion.
 Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have side airbags. Covers can inter- fere with proper side 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. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ONLY 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 should 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 curtain airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of these instructionscould lead to serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G
 Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag or curtain airbag components should be done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a serious injury or death. Improperwork methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or curtain airbaginoperable. Either of these situations could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. The SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional protection.Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, 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 be large, because the vehicle’s body structure isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. There are also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy 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.
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 elseto do any service, inspection, maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wir- ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS shouldever be handled, removed or disposed by anyone except an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Improper work methods on the SRS com- ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deployment or could makethe SRS inoperable. Either of these situa- tions could result in serious injury or death. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component or related vehiclepart. For example, replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure canadversely affect SRS 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 modifications can adversely affect SRS performance and may lead to injury. Also, if you discover any tear or openseam in the seat fabric near the side air- bag, have the seat inspected by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of the front andrear 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 can be 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.
