Fuel selection

E00200102141
Recommended fuel
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
CAUTION
l
Your
vehicle is 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
Poor-quality
diesel fuel can cause deposits to form in the injector, resulting in black smoke and rough idling. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will break up and remove the de­posits, thereby returning the engine to a nor­mal condition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI DIE­SEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Filling the fuel tank

E00200202025
WARNING
l
When
handling fuel, comply with the safe­ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
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
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.

Type 2
Slide the cover (1). Insert the key in the cap (2) and unlock it. Turn the cap and remove it.
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. Insert
the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes. Do not tilt the gun.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more.
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.

Installation of accessories

E00200300875
We
recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
The installation of accessories, optional parts, 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.
l
When fitting accessories, ensure that maxi­mum gross vehicle weight and maximum axle weight are not exceeded.
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.
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 vehicle with respect to the production specifications. For your own safety, in such cases, 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 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
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)
E00300200921
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.
l
Two keys are provided. If
you lose one of them, order a replacement as soon as possible. To obtain a key, take your vehicle and all re­maining keys to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. If you need an extra spare key, take your ve­hicle and all the keys to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. All the keys have to be re-registered in the immobil­izer computer unit. The immobilizer allows up to 8 different ID codes to be registered; you can register a maximum of 8 keys for use.
CAUTION
l
Don’t
make any alterations or additions to the immobilizer system; alterations or additions could cause failure of the immo­bilizer.

a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof, it will reopen automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head or hand out of the sunroof when opening or closing. The opened sunroof will become operational after a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecutively or the switch (1) is kept press­ed for 10 seconds or longer with the sunroof station­ary in the fully tilted up position, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted. In such an event, you should take the following steps:
1. Press the switch (1) repeatedly until the sun­roof has been fully tilt up.
2. Once the fully tilt up position has been reached, press again and hold the switch (1) for at least 3 seconds.
3. After pressing the switch (3) to perform full opening, press the switch (2) to fully close the sunroof.
NOTE
l
The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or other circumstances cause the sunroof to be subjected to a physi­cal shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.
l
Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches the opening or closing end during operations. If this should accidentally happen, repeat the process from step 1.
CAUTION
l
The safety mechanism is cancelled just be­fore the sunroof is fully closed. This al­lows the sunroof to close completely. Therefore be especially careful that no fin­gers are trapped in the sunroof.
4. Following
this action, it should be possible
to operate the sunroof in the normal manner.
Sunshade
E00307900044

Seat adjustment

E00400300200
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 cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle. Also, the cargo 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.
l
When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your hand or foot.
l
When sliding or reclining the seat rear­ward, pay careful attention to the rear seat passengers. (Double cab and Club cab)

CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l
Operate in the high position for quick heat­ing. 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.
l
If the following types of persons use the 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.)
l
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob­jects into it.
l
Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma­terial with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might cause the heater element to overheat
l
When cleaning the seat, do not use ben­zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or­ganic solvents; these might damage the surface of the seat and also the heater ele­ment.
l
If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.

Head restraints

E00403300995
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.
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
Lift
the head restraint with the height adjusting
knob (A) pushed in.
To install
Confirm
that the head restraint is facing the correct direction, and then insert it into the seatback while pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direc­tion indicated by the arrow.
CAUTION
l
Confirm
that the height adjusting knob (A) 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
l
If
your vehicle is equipped with the rear seat head restraint, the head restraints for the front and rear seats differ in size. When installing head restraints, make sure the front and rear head restraints are fitted in their respective seats.

Seat belts

E00404800825
To
protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important that the seat belts are worn correctly while driving. A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an airbag has 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 2-12 .
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.
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.
WARNING
l
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in an accident, including the deploying driver’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a 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 the child in a collision or sudden stop.
l
Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit.
3-point type seat belt (with emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901126
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.

Seat belt reminder/warning lamp
E00409800790
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the driver and front passenger 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 come on and a tone will sound for about 6 seconds. If the front seat belt remains unfastened approximately 1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound in­termittently (each 12 times) when the vehicle is driv­en. If the passenger 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.

driver’s and front passenger’s seat equipped
with an airbag has a pretensioner seat belt.
Pretensioner system
E00405801089
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- Front impact sensors 2-
Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit
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 them replaced by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Child restraint

E00406401297
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. (Double cab and Club cab)
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 the 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. (Double cab and Club cab)
Caution for installing the child re­straint on vehicles with a front passen­ger airbag
E00406500190
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.
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 2-30.)

WARNING
l
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT should not be used in the front passenger seat whenever possible; if used in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward position.
Infants and small children
E00406600768
When transporting infants and small children in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
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 the child’s weight and height and prop­erly fit in the vehicle.
l
Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the 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
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 the 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.
WARNING
l
When the child restraint system is not in 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.
NOTE
l
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 locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (Double cab, See page 2-25).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-26).
Older children
E00406700235
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.

Seat belt inspection

E00406300475
l
Check
the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web­bing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly if 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 affects 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 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.
l
Once the pretensioner has activated, it cannot be re-used. It must be replaced together with the re­tractor.
Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag*
E00407201797
The information written in this Supplemental Re­straint System (SRS) section contains important points concerning the driver, front passenger, 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 side airbag is designed to supplement the properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest injury in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple­ment the properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passengers with protection against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
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.
WARNING
l
IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL­WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG:
WARNING
• Seat
belts help keep the driver and pas­sengers 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 passengers 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.
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 air-

WARNING
bags 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 passengers 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
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 an appropriate child re­straint system. See the “Child restraint” section of this owner’s manual.
WARNING
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.

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys­tem works
E00407301352
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver) 2- Front

OCRE12E1
The airbags will operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. When the airbag control unit detect an impact of suf­ficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition sig­nal to the airbag modules to ignite materials in the inflator and 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.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
E00410100184
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 2-30.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo­cated in the glove box.
WARNING
l
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always
remove the key from the igni­tion switch before operating a front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition switch from “ON” position to “LOCK” position. The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air­bag.
WARNING
• Always
remove the key from the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af­ter operating that switch. Failure to do so could lead to improper position of the front passenger’s airbag ON­OFF switch.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
E00407400330
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 and the front passenger’s air­bag
are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied.
Deployment of front airbags
E00407501354
The front airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
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
Seat and seat belts
2-32
2
OCRE12E1
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. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occu­pant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to al­ways properly wear your seat belts.

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.
Collision with an elevated median/island or kerb

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
E00407600374
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
E00409100474

The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not de­signed to deploy in conditions where they cannot usually provide protection to the occupant. Typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
Head-on collisions
Rear end collisions
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 airbags and curtain airbags in­flate with great force. The driver and front passenger should not put their arms out 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 rear seat occupant to hold onto the seatback of either front seat, in order to reduce risk of injury from the deploying side airbag. 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 seats that have side airbags. This 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 (B) 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 of the seat where the side airbag and cur­tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain airbag 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 MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Improper work could result in inadvertent deploy­ment of a side airbags and curtain air­bags, or could render a side airbags and curtain airbags inoperative; either situa­tion could result in serious injury.
SRS warning lamp
E00407801201
There
is a Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself and the lamp tells you if there is a prob­lem. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or “START” position, the warning lamp should illuminate for several seconds and then should go out. This means the system is ready. If an SRS airbag or pretensioner seat belt is not oper­ating properly, the warning lamp comes on and stays on. The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pretensioner system.
WARNING
l
If
any of the following conditions occur, the SRS and/or seat belt pretensioners are not working properly, and we recom­mend you to have it inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point immediately.

SRS servicing
E00407901244
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.
l
If your vehicle has sustained any damage, we recommend you to have the SRS in­spected to ensure it is in proper working order.
WARNING
l
On vehicles equipped with side airbags, 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
On vehicles with the curtain airbags, if you have found any scratch, crack or dam­age to the portion of the front and rear pil­lars and roof side rail, we recommend you to 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.
l
If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge you to first take the vehicle to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point so that the SRS can be rendered safe.

CAUTION
l
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, we recommend you to have the system checked.
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.
Charge warning lamp
E00502700821
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started.
CAUTION
l
If
the lamp comes on while the engine is running, the probable cause is as shown below. Park the vehicle immediately at a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
• Broken drive belt or abnor­mality in the charging sys­tem. A broken drive belt cau­ses poor braking efficiency. Depress the brake pedal harder than usual to park the vehicle in a safe place.
Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800620
This
lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates while the engine is run­ning, the oil pressure is too low. If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is running, turn the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUTION
l
If
this lamp illuminates when the engine oil level is not low, have it inspected.
l
This warning lamp does not in­dicate the amount of oil in the crankcase. This must be deter­mined by checking the oil level on the dipstick, while the en­gine is switched off.
l
If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illuminated, en­gine seizure may occur.
NOTE
l
The
oil pressure warning lamp should not be treated as an indica­tion of the engine’s oil level. The oil level must be checked using the dipstick.
