Recommended
fuel
CAUTION
For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
l
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the
engine and catalytic converter. Do not use
leaded fuel.
Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
l
only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect
the engine’s performance and durability.
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane
number (EN228)
1600 models, 1800 models
95 RON or higher
2000 models
90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
E00200103076
NOTE
Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
l
trol system so that you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case
unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not
available on journey, etc.
In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the
engine specially. In case of using unleaded
petrol 90 RON, the engine performance level is reduced.
For diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-
l
affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases considerably as the temperature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in accordance with ambient temperature.
Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
NOTE
Repeatedly driving short distances at low
l
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel
system and engine, resulting in poor starting
and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
l
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these problems, try another brand and/or grade of petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
E10 type petrol
The petrol engines are compatible with
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming to European standards EN 228.

Filling the fuel tank
CAUTION
Do not use more than 10 % concentration of
l
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
When handling fuel, comply with the safe-
l
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
l
sive. You could be burned or seriously injured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always turn the engine off
and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
l
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or the
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.
Perform the whole refueling process
l
(opening the fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not
let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help
you and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
E00200203699
WARNING
Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
l
er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
l
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
2WD models: 58 litres (For vehicles with vehicle identification numbers that begin with
“4”)
2WD models: 63 litres (For vehicles with vehicle identification numbers that begin with
“J”)
4WD models: 60 litres
NOTE
For the location of the vehicle identification
l
number, refer to “Vehicle identification
number” on page 11-02.
Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
left side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door by pulling
the release lever located on the side of
the driver’s seat.
3. Remove the fuel cap.

Installation of accessories
Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
2
1- Remove
2- Close
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
l
remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have
built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing
sound from the cap, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the gun.
l
6. When the gun stops automatically, do
not fill with fuel any more.
7. Close the fuel cap.
To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then
gently push the fuel tank filler door
closed.
Installation of accessories
E00200300963
We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
The installation of accessories, optional
l
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in
your country, and in accordance with the
guidelines and warnings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle.
Installing electric components incorrect-
l
ly could lead to a fire. Please refer to
Modification/alteration to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
l
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet
l
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement parts of different manufactures
available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attachment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
2-04
General information
OGAE14E1
Page 21
Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through
the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construction, or when a
single operation permit following the attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point (MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons,
do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Modification/alterations to
the electrical or fuel systems
E00200400368
MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION
has always manufactured safe, high quality
vehicles. In order to maintain this safety and
quality, it is important that any accessory that
is to be fitted, or any modifications carried
out which involve the electrical or fuel systems, should be carried out in accordance
with MITSUBISHI guidelines.
CAUTION
If the wires interfere with the vehicle body
l
or improper installation methods are used
(protective fuses not included, etc.), electronic devices may be adversely affected, resulting in a fire or other accident.

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system*
E00201500021
This paragraph summarizes the major items
of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
such as the characteristics, operating procedures, etc. For details, refer to “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-18.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system reduces the emission of exhaust gases and increases fuel efficiency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system automatically stops and restarts the engine without the use of the ignition switch or the engine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at traffic lights or in a traffic jam.
Activation
E00201600051
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is automatically activated when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON.
Deactivation
E00201700065
You can deactivate the system by pressing
the “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF” switch.

System characteristics
E00202300055
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system is that it adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. energy supply). This means
that in certain circumstances the engine will
not stop and in other circumstances the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine will restart by itself
The interior temperature rises and the air
l
conditioning starts operating in order to
lower the temperature.
Electric power consumption is high.
l
The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly.
l
Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or
l
higher when coasting on a slope.
Mode selection dial is set to the demister
l
position.
When the air conditioning is operated by
l
pressing the air conditioning switch.
When the preset temperature of the air
l
conditioning is changed significantly.
When the air conditioning is operated in
l
AUTO mode where the temperature control dial is set to the max. hot or the max.
cool position (for vehicles with automatic air conditioning).
Other than the conditions mentioned above,
the engine may restart automatically. For details, refer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-18.
E00202400027
Circumstances when the engine will not stop

WARNING
People with implantable cardiac pace-
l
makers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmitters (B). The radio waves used by the keyless operation system could adversely affect implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.
WARNING
When using electro-medical devices other
l
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electromedical device manufacturer ahead of time to determine the
affects of radio waves on the devices. Electromedical device operations could be affected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of
the keyless operation system in the following ways. (The keyless operation
system can be used as a keyless entry
system.) Consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• You can limit operations to locking
and unlocking the doors and tailgate.
• You can limit operations to starting
the engine.
• The keyless operation system can be
disabled.
When keyless operation system operations are modified, the transmitters operate as follows.
• Only locking and unlocking doors or

(The security indicator continues to blink
with the indicator’s reduced lit-up duration
time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors,
tailgate or bonnet is detected during the system armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the
alarm will be activated.

Seat adjustment
E00400300271
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining
a clear field of vision.
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
l
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an accident. After adjustments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
Do not let children or adults ride in areas
l
of the vehicle that are not equipped with
seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that all
occupants are sitting in their seats and
wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
To minimize the risk of personal injury in
l
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious injury, when the seatback is reclined.
CAUTION
Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
l
with adult supervision for correct and safe
operation.
Do not place a cushion or the like between
l
your back and the seatback while driving.
The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
When sliding the seat rearward, be careful
l
not to catch your hand or foot.

l
E00401101114
CAUTION
Operate in the high position for quick heat-
l
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater to
low to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat
temperature may be felt while using the
heated seats. This is caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermostat and does
not indicate a malfunction.
If the following types of persons use the
l
heated seats, they might become too hot or
receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):
Children, elderly or ill people
•
People with sensitive skin
•
Excessively tired people
•
People under the influence of alcohol or
•
sleep inducing medication (cold medicine,
etc.)
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
l
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects
into it.
Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate-
l
rial with high heat insulation properties on
the seat while using the heater; this might
cause the heater element to overheat
Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alcohol
l
or other organic solvents when cleaning the
seats. Doing so could damage not only the
seat cover, but also the heater element.
If water or any other liquid is spilled on the
l
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
Turn the heater off immediately if it appears
l
to be malfunctioning during use.

Head restraints
E00403301439
WARNING
Driving without the head restraints in
l
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when
the seat is occupied.
Never place a cushion or similar device on
l
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the head restraint is as close as possible to eye level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of collision. Any person too
tall for the head restraint to reach their seated
eye level, should adjust the restraint as high
as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward.
To lower the restraint, move it downward
while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)
in the direction of the arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint downward and
make sure that it is locked.
To remove
To remove the head restraints, lift the head
restraint with the height adjusting knob (A)
pushed in.
Installation
To install the head restraints, first confirm
that they are facing the correct direction, and
then insert them into the seatback while
pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
CAUTION
Confirm that the height adjusting knob (A)
l
is correctly adjusted as shown in the illustration, and also lift the head restraints to ensure that they do not come out of the seatback.

CAUTION
The head restraints for the seats differ in
l
shape and size. When installing head restraints, make sure the head restraints are fitted in their respective seats and do not install
the head restraints in the wrong direction.
When making a luggage compartment,
l
never arrange the seats while the vehicle
is being driven or is on an incline. The
seats could move unexpectedly or more
than required and cause a serious accident.
If required, always operate the seating be-
l
fore the vehicle is in motion.
Do not allow anyone to ride in the luggage
l
compartment while the vehicle is in motion. People who are not properly seated
and restrained can be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.

l
the vehicle should never be used as a play
area by children.
Children should be seated with seat belts
fastened when the vehicle is in motion.
Confirm that the seatback locks securely
l
when it is returned.
CAUTION
Do not stack luggage in the vehicle higher
l
than the seatback height. Also, firmly secure
the luggage.
Serious accidents could result due to unrestrained objects entering the passenger compartment during sudden braking.
Make sure that the seat is operated by an
l
adult. If it is operated by a child, an unexpected accident might occur.
Be careful not to catch your hands or feet
l
when arranging the seat. Personal injury
could result.
Folding the rear seatbacks forward
The passenger and luggage compartments
can be joined by folding the seatback forward. This is useful for carrying long objects.

Seat belts
E00404800636
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important that
the seat belts be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a
conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system” on page 4-14.
WARNING
Always place the shoulder belt over your
l
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.
One seat belt should be used by only one
l
person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
The seat belt will provide its wearer with
l
maximum protection if the recliner seatback is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward impact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or
seatbacks.
Seat belts should always be worn by every
l
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to
wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
Remove any twists when using the belt.
l
No modifications or additions should be
l
made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.

E00405700166
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the operation
mode is under the following conditions, if
there is a frontal impact or a side impact (vehicles equipped with SRS side airbags and
SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure
the driver and/or front passenger, the pretensioner system will retract their respective seat
belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the
seat belt’s effectiveness.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
E00405801135
WARNING
To obtain the best results from your pre-
l
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear
your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
l
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could
affect the pretensioner systems.
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
l
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpected
activation of the pretensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.
NOTE
The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
l
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact
or a severe side impact (vehicles equipped
with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags), even if the seat belts are not worn.
The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
l
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Child restraint
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load applied to the seat belt to minimize the impact
to the passenger.
Child restraint
When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should always be used according to the size of the
child. This is required by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with children in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with
the relevant regulations.
l
l
l
E00406000209
E00406403116
WARNING
When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that children of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather
than in the front seat.
Holding a child in your arms is no substitute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in severe or fatal injury to the child.
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
WARNING
When attaching a child restraint system
l
to the rear seat, prevent the front seatbacks from touching the child restraint
system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger airbag.
WARNING
Extreme Hazard!
l
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
NOTE
The labels may be in different positions de-
l
pending on the vehicle model.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)

WARNING
A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s airbag has not been deactivated. The force of
4
an inflating airbag could kill or cause serious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front
seat, turn off the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch.
Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
E00406600609
Instruction:
For small infants, an infant carrier
l
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
The child restraint system should be ap-
l
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE
REAR SEAT.
NOTE
Before purchasing a child restraint system,
l
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure
there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the seat belt buckles and the shape of the
seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely
install some manufacturer’s child restraint
systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled
forward or to either side easily on the seat
cushion after the seat belt has been tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child
restraint system.
WARNING
When installing a child restraint system,
l
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or fatal injury to the child.
After installation, push and pull the child
l
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of accident or sudden stops.
When the child restraint system is not in
l
use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be
attached using one of the following two

WARNING
For some types of child restraint, the lock-
l
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sudden manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed.
Seat belt inspection
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
l
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if it is defective.
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
l
tral detergent in warm water. After rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do
not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts
because this will affect their characteristics.
WARNING
We recommend you to have all seat belt
l
assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware inspected after any collision. We recommend that seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
l
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recommend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replacement could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
E00406300475
WARNING
Once the pretensioner has been activated,
l
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the retractor.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
E00407201944
The information for SRS airbags includes important information concerning the driver’s
and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s
knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS airbags are designed to supplement
the primary protection of the driver and front
passenger side seat belt systems by providing
those occupants with protection against head
and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equipped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It
can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased
overall body protection in certain moderateto-severe frontal collisions.
4-24
Seat and seat belts
OGAE14E1
Page 91
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest and abdomen injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger
with protection against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection during all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.
How the Supplemental Restraint System works
E00407302883
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp*
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Driver’s knee airbag module*
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch*
4
6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules*
Only when the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke and
powder, but these conditions are not injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel
some temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
OGAE14E1
Seat and seat belts

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment, so there is little danger of obscured vision.
CAUTION
4
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
l
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, and
the like.
WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
l
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the airbags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
l
with your lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
WARNING
Place all infants and small children in the
l
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.
WARNING
Infants and small children should never
l
be unrestrained, stand up against the instrument panel or be held in your arms or
on your lap. They could be seriously injured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an appropriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer

Deployment of front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
The front airbags and driver’s
4
knee airbag ARE DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe frontal impact. Examples
of some typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a
speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with-
in the shaded area between the arrows
E00407501644
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
will deploy if the severity of the impact is
above the designed threshold level, comparable to a collision at approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above
threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag may not deploy. However, this
threshold speed will be considerably higher if
the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the
impact by either deforming or moving (for
example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts
will help keep you a safe distance from the
steering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed
to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the
vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from
harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may deform significantly as it absorbs the impact.)
Under such circumstances, the front airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irrespective of the deformation and damage to
the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a
truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts

of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
not designed to deploy in conditions where
they cannot typically provide protection to
the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of collisions, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island
or kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and
hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts as shown in the illustration
that can easily move you out of position, it is
important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a
safe distance from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.
WARNING
Do not attach anything to the steering
l
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
Do not set anything on, or attach anything
l
to, the instrument panel above the glove
box. It might strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates.

could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
4
bags inflate.
Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
l
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or could be propelled and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
Do not attach accessories to the lower
l
portion of the driver’s side instrument
panel. Such objects could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or could be propelled and cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
Do not put packages, pets or other objects
l
between the airbags and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
Right after the airbag inflation, several
l
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
The airbag system is designed to work on-
l
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recommend
you to have the entire airbag system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
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.
