General information

Fuel selection

E00200102343
Recommen-
ded fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane num­ber (EN228)
95 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea­ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l
Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.
NOTE
l
Due to the separation of paraffin, 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.
l
Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con­trol system so that you can use unleaded pet­rol 90 RON as an emergency 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.
l
Repeatedly driving short distance at low 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 petrol when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the deposits, there­by returning the engine to a normal condi­tion. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please con­tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author­ized Service Point.
l
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such 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.
General information

Filling the fuel tank

E00200202142
WARNING
l
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. 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.
l
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to 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.
l
Perform the whole refueling process (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.
l
Do not move away from the fuel tank fill­er until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, cleaning your windscreen) part­way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static elec­tricity.
l
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel contains toxic substances.
WARNING
l
Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
Fuel tank capacity
65 litres
Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located below the instru­ment panel.
LHD
RHD
3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn­ing the cap anticlockwise.
A- Remove B- Close
General information
03
CAUTION
l
Since the fuel system may be under pres­sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac­uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait un­til it stops before removing the cap. Oth­erwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct handling of the fuel filler gun. Do not tilt the gun. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
l
A label which reads “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY” is attached to the fuel tank filler lid of vehicles which can only operate us­ing unleaded petrol. Serious engine and catalytic converter damage will result if leaded petrol is filled into these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be at­tempted.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more.
CAUTION
l
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-off” the fuel tank.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.
CAUTION
l
If you need to replace the fuel tank filler tube cap, use only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

Installation of accessories

E00200300745
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the guidelines fitting instructions and warnings contained within the documents accompanying the parts or ac­cessories.
l
Improper installation of electrical compo­nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect­ly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/al­teration to the electrical or fuel systems sec­tion within this owner’s manual.
l
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle without an external antenna may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi­cations must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for in­formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Important points!
Due to the 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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point, to check whether the attachment or installation of such parts affects thedriving safety of your MITSUBISHI-ve­hicle.
General information
04
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. Only in the case of parts (MITSUBISHI MOTORS original replacement or exchange parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point and that are at­tached or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point can you assume, that op­timal safety has been provided. The same also per­tains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the production specifications. For your own safety, in such cases as well, you should only undertake modifications according to the rec­ommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au­thorized Service Point.
Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems
E00200400238
MITSUBISHI MOTORS 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 MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION
l
If the wiring interferes with any part of the vehicle bodywork or improper instal­lation methods are used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc.), electronic devi­ces may be adversely affected, possibly re­sulting in an electrical fire or other fail­ures that may cause an accident.

Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
E00300201553
The electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi­cantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions) using a keyless operation system “registered” to the immobilizer system.
NOTE
l
In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the key. This means the engine will not start even when the registered key is turned to the “START” position.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or magnetic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of an­other key (Type B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizing keys (including keys of oth­er vehicles) (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does not start, we recommend you to contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE
l
If you lose your key, order a key from your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible. To obtain a replacement or extra spare key, take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. All the keys have to be re-reg­istered in the immobilizer computer unit. The immobilizer can register up to 8 differ­ent keys.
CAUTION
l
Don’t make any alterations or additions to the immobilizer system; alterations or additions could cause failure of the immo­bilizer.

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
l
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while 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.
l
It is extremely dangerous to ride in the luggage area of a vehicle. Also, the lug­gage area and rear seats should never be used as a play area by children. In a colli­sion, people or children riding unrestrain­ed in these areas are more likely to be se­riously injured or killed. Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equip­ped with seats and seat belts, and make sure that everyone travelling in your vehi­cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint.
WARNING
l
To minimize the risk of personal injury in 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
l
Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or with adult supervision for cor­rect and safe operation.
l
Do not place a cushion or the like be­tween your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head re­straints will be reduced in the event of an accident.

Folding the seatbacks forward
E00402900024
Larger objects can be loaded into the vehicle if a seatback is folded forwards.
WARNING
l
The luggage compartment in the rear of 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. Be sure that the rear seat­backs are returned to their fully upright position and locked in place.
CAUTION
l
Do not stack luggage above the seatback height. Secure the luggage firmly. Otherwise, serious accidents could result due to restricted rear vision or unrestrain­ed objects entering the passenger compart­ment during sudden braking.
To fold
Pull the belt (A) behind the seatback that you wish to fold, then tilt the seatback forwards until it locks.
To return
1. Pull the belt (A) behind the seatback which is desired to be raised, then raise the seatback until it locks securely into place.
2. Push lightly on the seatback to confirm that it has actually been secured.

Head restraints

E00403301240
WARNING
l
Driving without the head restraints in 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.
l
Never place a cushion or similar device on 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 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 restraint to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the restraint as high as possible.

Making a flat seat

E00404300064
By removing the head restraints and fully reclining the seatbacks of the seats, one large flat seat is ach­ieved.
WARNING
l
Never drive with luggage or passengers on the flat seat. This is highly dangerous. In a collision, people or children riding un­restrained in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equip­ped with seats and seat belts, and make sure that everyone travelling in your vehi­cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint. In the interest of their safety, children should not be allowed to adjust the seats.
CAUTION
l
To make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
l
Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex­pected accident might occur.
l
When sliding the seat, be sure not to catch your hand or leg.
l
Do not walk around on top of the seats af­ter they have been laid flat.
l
To ensure the seats are locked securely, at­tempt to move them back and forth.

Seat belts

E00404800593
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 2-20 .
WARNING
l
Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l
One seat belt should be used by only one person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l
The seat belt will provide its wearer with 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.
l
Seat belts should always be worn by ev­ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi­cle, and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
l
Remove any twists when using the belt.
Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l
No modifications or additions should be 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.
l
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in an accident, including the deploying driver airbag, the driver should adjust the driver’s seat to the rear most position that still allows good visibility and good control of the steering wheel, the brake and accelerator, and vehicle controls.
l
Never hold a child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a collision or sudden stop.
l
Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
3-point type seat belt (with emergency locking mechanism)
E00404900754
This type of belt requires no length adjustment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear­er’s body.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate.
NOTE
l
When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a locked condition, pull the belts once forceful­ly and then return them. After that, pull the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is heard.
WARNING
l
Never wear the lap portion of the belt across your abdomen. During accidents it can press sharply against the abdomen and increase the risk of injury.
l
The seat belts must not be twisted when worn.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness as de­sired.
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the button on the buck­le.
NOTE
l
As the belt retracts automatically, keep hold­ing the latch plate while retracting so that the belt stows slowly. Failure to do this could damage the vehicle.

Seat belt reminder/warning lamp
E00409800774
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.
NOTE
l
For the front passenger seat, the warning func­tion works only while a person is sitting on the seat.
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi­tion, the warning lamp will illuminate and a tone will sound for about 6 seconds. If the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened for approximately 1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound intermittently (each 12 times) when the vehicle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfas­tens the seat belt while driving, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings. And if the seat belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings each time the vehi­cle starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the warnings will stop.
WARNING
l
In order to reduce the risk of serious or fa­tal injury in an accident, always wear your own seat belt. Do not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil­dren should additionally be restrained in a secure child restraint system.
NOTE
l
When luggage is placed on the front passen­ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may, de­pending on the weight and position of the lug­gage, cause the warning tone to sound and the warning lamp to come on.
Adjustable seat belt anchor (front seats)
E00405000433
The seat belt anchor height can be adjusted. Move the seat belt anchor (A) down with the lock knob (B) depressed. To move the anchor up, slide it without depressing the lock knob.
WARNING
l

Pregnant women restraint

E00405600123
WARNING
l
Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Pregnant women should use the available seat belts. This will reduce the likelihood of injury to both the woman and the unborn child. The lap belt should be worn across the thighs and as snug against the hips as pos­sible, but not across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system
E00405700052
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.
Pretensioner system
E00405801034
The pretensioner system will retract their respec­tive seat belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the driver and/or front pas­senger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. The seat belt pretensioner includes the following components:
1- Airbag control unit 2- Front impact sensors 3- Seat belt pretensioners

WARNING
l
To obtain the best results from your pre­tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad­justed your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
l
Installation of audio equipment or re­pairs in 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.
l
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con­sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author­ized Service Point. It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pretensioner seat belts could cause inju­ries.
NOTE
l
The pretensioner seat belts will be activated if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l
The pretensioner seat belts are designed to work only once. After the pretensioner seat belts have been activated, we recommend you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
E00405900038
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warn­ing lamp” on page 2-42.
Force limiter system
E00406000023
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

E00406401532
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.
WARNING
l
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.
l
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 your child.
l
Each child restraint device or fixing is to be used only by one child.
l
When attaching a child restraint to the rear seat, place the front seatbacks in the upright position. 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
l
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child re­straint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
l
A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air­bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause serious injuries to the child. A rearward facing child restraint should be used in the rear seat.
Front passenger’s airbag ON
NOTE
l
If you have a rearward facing child restraint system that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-33.)
Front passenger’s air bag OFF
WARNING
l
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT should be used in the rear seat whenever possible; if used in the front seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward position.
Infants and small children
E00406600579
When transporting infants and small children in your vehicle, follow the instructions given below.
Seat and seat belts
2-22
2
Instructions:
l
For small infants, an infant carrier 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.
l
The child restraint system should be appropri­ate for your 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.
WARNING
l
When installing a child restraint system, refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system. Fail­ure to do so can result in severe or fatal injury to your child.
l
After installation, push and pull the child 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.
l
When the child restraint system is not in use, keep your child or infant seat se­cured with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle in order to prevent injury to your child.
NOTE
l
Before purchasing a child restraint system, 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.
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 2 locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat, ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 2-27).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-28).
Older children
E00406700192
Children who have outgrown the child restraint sys­tem should be seated in the rear seat and wear com­bination lap shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt should be snug and posi­tioned low on the abdomen so that it is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could in­trude into the child’s abdomen during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
l
Children who are not buckled up can be thrown out of the vehicle in an accident.
l
Children who are not buckled up can strike other people in the vehicle in an ac­cident.
WARNING
l
A child should never be left unattended in your vehicle. When you leave the vehi­cle, take the child with you.

Seat belt inspection

E00406300550
l
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web­bing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec­tive.
l
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral 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
l
We recommend you have all seat belt 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.
l
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom­mend you 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.
l
Once the pretensioner has been activated, it cannot be re-used. It must be replaced together with the re­tractor.
Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag
E00407201742
The information written in this Supplemental Re­straint System (SRS) section contains important points concerning the driver, front passenger, driv­er’s knee, side and curtain airbags. The SRS driver and front passenger 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 and front passenger airbags em­ploy a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver and front passenger airbag is controlled by the im­pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle and near the center of the vehicle at floor level) and the driver’s seat position sensor and the SRS front passenger air­bag is controlled by the impact sensors.
The SRS side airbags 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 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.
Seat and seat belts
2-29
2
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for maximum protection in all types of crashes and ac­cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev­eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle. (With in­fants and small children in child restraints and old­er children buckled in the rear seat.)
WARNING
l
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL­WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG:
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas­senger properly positioned, which re­duces injury risk in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious or fatal in­juries when the airbags inflate. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained or improper­ly restrained driver or passenger can move forward into direct contact with or within close proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during the col­lision. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful which could cause se­rious or fatal injuries if the occupant contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions, be­cause driver’s and passenger’s air­bags are not designed to inflate in those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle in a colli­sion or roll-over.
WARNING
l
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE 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.
• Before driving, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while still maintaining complete control of the ve­hicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen­ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al­ways properly restrained using the available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the driver and passenger should sit well back and upright without leaning against the window or door.
l
Do not sit on the edge of the seat, 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
l
Place all infants and small children in the rear seat and properly restrained using an appropriate child restraint system. The rear seat is the safest place for in­fants and children.
WARNING
l
Infants and small children should never 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 in this owner’s manual.

WARNING
l
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT should be used in the rear seat whenever possible; if it must be used in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward position. Failure to do so could kill or cause serious injuries to the child.
WARNING
l
Older children should be seated in the rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt, with an appropriate booster seat if needed.

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys­tem works
E00407300935
The SRS includes the following components:
1. Airbag module (Driver)
2. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3. Airbag module (Passenger)
4. Front impact sensors
5. Driver’s seat position sensor
6. Airbag control unit
7. Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
8. Side airbag modules
9. Curtain airbag modules
10. Side impact sensors
The airbags will operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When the impact sensors detect an impact of suffi­cient frontal or side force, an automated circuit ig­nites materials in the inflator to generate gas and in­flate the airbags. 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. The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment, so there is little danger of obscured vision. The time required from the sensors detecting an im­pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is shorter than a blink of an eye.
CAUTION
l
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed. In certain situations, contact with inflating airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts, bruises, and the like.
Driver’s seat position sensor
E00409900166
In order to detect the fore-aft position of the driv­er’s seat, the driver’s seat position sensor is attach­ed to the seat rail. In the event of a problem in the driver’s seat posi­tion sensor, the SRS warning lamp comes on.

l
Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the driver’s seat position sensor can sense the seat position correct­ly. Otherwise, the dual stage airbags may not operate correctly.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit correctly with your back against the seatback. Refer to “Front seat” on page 2-05.
• Do not have the seatback reclined more than necessary when driving.
• Do not place metallic objects or lug­gage under the seat.
l
If the vehicle suffers a severe impact, we recommend you to have the sensor inspec­ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author­ized Service Point as soon as possible.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
E00410100214
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If you have a rearward facing child restraint system that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passen­ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-33.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo­cated in the glove box.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
E00407400356
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cov­er in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas­senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel above the glove box. The driver’s airbag inflates at two different rates ac­cording to the fore-aft position of the driver’s seat and the severity of the impact.
The front passenger’s airbag deploys at the same time as the driver’s airbag, even if the passenger seat is not occupied, and inflates at two different rates according to the severity of the impact.
Deployment of front airbags

Head-on collision with a solid wall at speed of approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher
Moderate to severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows
The front airbags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is shown in the illustration.
The front airbags will deploy if the severity of im­pact is above the designed threshold level, compa­rable to an approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) colli­sion 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 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 in 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 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 may not deploy irrespective of the de­formation and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.

Oblique frontal impacts
The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DE­PLOY when…
The front airbags are not designed to deploy in con­ditions where they cannot typically provide protec­tion to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occu­pant in all types of collisions, be sure to always prop­erly wear your seat belts.
Rear end collisions
Side collisions
Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags 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.
Because the front airbags 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
l
Do not attach anything to the steering wheel padded cover, such as trim materi­al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l
Do not set anything on, or attach any­thing to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an oc­cupant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
l
Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of, the windscreen. These objects could restrict the airbag inflation, or strike and injure an occupant if the air­bags inflate.
l
Do not put packages, pets or other ob­jects between the airbags and the driver or front passenger. It could affect airbag performance, or could cause injury when the airbag inflates.
WARNING
l
Right after the airbag inflation, several airbag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you could be burned.
l
The airbag system is designed to work on­ly 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.
Side airbag system
E00407600055
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.
The label shown here is attached to the seatbacks with a side airbag.
Curtain airbag system
E00409100038

The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DE­SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to se­vere side impact to the middle of the passenger com­partment. The typical condition is shown in the illustration.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection in a collision. 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 prop­erly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of side collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may deform significantly as it ab­sorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy ir­respective of the deformation and damage to the ve­hicle body. Also, depending on the location of the impact, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy simultaneously. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.

Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
WARNING
l
The side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to supplement the driver and pas­senger seat belts in certain side impacts. Seat belts should always be worn proper­ly, and the driver and passenger should sit well back and upright without leaning against the window or door.
WARNING
l
The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate with great force. The driver and passen­ger should not put their arms out of the window, and should not lean against the door, in order to reduce the risk of seri­ous or possible fatal injury from the de­ploying side airbag and curtain airbag.
WARNING
l
Do not allow a child to kneel on the pas­senger seat facing the passenger’s side door, since the side airbags and curtain airbags inflate with great force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri­ously injured.

WARNING
l
Do not allow any second seat occupant to hold onto the seatback of either front seat, in order to reduce risk of injury from the deploying side airbags. Special care should be taken with children.
l
Do not place any objects near or in front of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag in­flation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l
Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side air­bag inflation.
l
Do not install seat covers on seats with side airbags. Do not re-cover the seats with side airbags. They could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
WARNING
l
Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other device or object around the part where the curtain airbags activate such as on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or as­sist grips. When the curtain airbags in­flate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force or the curtain airbags may not activate cor­rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
l
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin­ted object on the coat hook. If the curtain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great force and 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.
l
Do not allow a child to lean against or close to the front door even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not be leaned against or be close to the area where the side airbags and curtain air­bags are located. It is dangerous if the side airbags and curtain airbags inflate. Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious or fatal injury to the child.
l
We recommend work around and on the side airbags and curtain airbags system to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Improper work could result in inadvertent deploy­ment of side airbags and curtain airbags, or could render side airbags and curtain airbags inoperative; either situation could result in serious injury.

E00407900726
WARNING
l
We recommend any maintenance per­formed on or near the components of the SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Improper work on the SRS components or wiring could result in inadvertent de­ployment of the airbags, or could render the SRS inoperative; either situation could result in serious injury.
l
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat belt retractor or any other SRS compo­nents. For example, replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure can ad­versely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
WARNING
l
If your vehicle has sustained any damage, we recommend you to have the SRS in­spected to ensure it is in proper working order.
l
Do not modify your front seats, centre pil­lar and centre console. It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury. Also, if you have found any tear or open seam in the seat fabric at the portion near the side airbag, we recommend you to have the seat inspected.
l
If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, you should have the SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE
l
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to some other person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is equipped with the SRS and refer the new owner to the applica­ble section in this owner’s manual.

Check engine warning lamp (petrol-powered vehicles)
E00502601351
This lamp is a part of an onboard diag­nostic system which monitors the emis­sions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recom­mend you to have the system checked as soon as possible. This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTION
l
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may cause further dam­age to the emission control sys­tem. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, we recom­mend you to have the system checked.
CAUTION
l
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds and we recommend you to have the sys­tem checked. During vehicle operation with the lamp illuminated, the vehi­cle may not accelerate when you depress the accelerator ped­al. When the vehicle is stationary with the lamp illuminated, you must depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is high­er than usual and the vehicle with an A/T has a stronger ten­dency to creep forward.
NOTE
l
The engine electronic control mod­ule accommodating the onboard di­agnostic system has various fault data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored. This data will be erased if a bat­tery cable is disconnected which will make a rapid diagnosis diffi­cult. Do not disconnect a battery cable when the check engine warn­ing lamp is ON.
