fuel
CAUTION
Your vehicle is designed to use only diesel
l
fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.
Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
l
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.
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
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 MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
When handling fuel, comply with the safe-
l
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
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.
E00200202025
WARNING
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.
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, cleaning your windscreen) partway
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.

Slide the cover (1). Insert the key in the

Turn the cap and remove it.
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
l
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.
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.

Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems
Improper installation of electrical com-
l
ponents may cause an electrical fire if
2
incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the
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.
When fitting accessories, ensure that
l
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

CAUTION
If the wiring interferes with any part of the

WARNING
When taking a key on flights, do not press
l
any switches on the key while on the
plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane,
the key emits electromagnetic waves,
which could adversely affect the plane’s
flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.
NOTE
The key number is stamped on the tag as in-
l
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate places, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost.
The key is a precision electronic device with
l
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunction.
Do not leave in a place that is exposed to
•
direct sunlight, for example on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble or modify.
•
Do not excessively bend the key or sub-
•
ject it to strong impacts.
Do not expose to water.
•
Keep away from magnetic key holders.
•
Keep away from audio systems, personal
•
computers, TVs, and other equipment that
generates a magnetic field.
NOTE
Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or
•
similar equipment.
Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
•
posed to high temperature or high humidity.
The engine is designed so that it will not
l
start if the ID code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code do
not match. Refer to the “Electronic immobilizer” section for details and key usage.
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
In the following cases, the vehicle may not
l
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.
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
Two keys are provided.
l
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
Don’t make any alterations or additions to
l
the immobilizer system; alterations or additions could cause failure of the immobilizer.

their head or hand out of the rear retractable
power window when closing a rear retractable power window.
WARNING
If the safety mechanism is activated three
l
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result.
CAUTION
The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
l
fore the rear retractable power window is
fully closed. This allows the rear retractable
power window to close completely. Therefore be especially careful that no fingers are
trapped in the rear retractable power window.
NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the
l
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the rear retractable power window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to
that caused by a trapped hand or head.
The lowered window will become operational after a few seconds.

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
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.
WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
l
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.
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.
Seat adjustment
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 seats, be careful not to
l
catch your hand or foot.
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward,
l
pay careful attention to the rear seat passengers. (Double cab and Club cab)

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 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.

Seat belts
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important that
the seat belts are worn correctly while driv-
4
ing.
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 4-13 .
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.
E00404800825
WARNING
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.
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in
l
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.
Never hold a child in your arms or on
l
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.
Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit.
l
3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
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.
E00404901126
NOTE
You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
l
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate.
NOTE
When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
l
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.

Seat belt reminder/warning
lamp
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind
the driver and front passenger (if so equipped) to fasten the seat belt.
E00409802026
NOTE
For the front passenger seat, the warning
l
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 sounds 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.

Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system*
E00405700283
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat equipped with an airbag has a pretensioner seat
belt.
Pretensioner system
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.
E00405801089
The seat belt pretensioner includes the following components:
1- Front impact sensors
2- Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit
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.
CAUTION
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,
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 them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 4-40.
E00405900126

Child restraint
Child restraint
When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should always be used according to the size of the
4
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
When possible, put children in the rear
l
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)
Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
l
tute 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
l
be used only by one child.
When attaching a child restraint to the
l
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)

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.
NOTE
If you have a rearward facing child restraint
l
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 4-31.)

WARNING
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT 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
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
E00406602124
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.
Child restraint
Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
l
tem, 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
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.

NOTE
Depending on the seating position in the ve-
l
hicle 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 4-25).
To the seat belt (See page 4-27).
•
Older children
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
Children who are not buckled up can be
l
thrown out of the vehicle in an accident.
Children who are not buckled up can
l
strike other people in the vehicle in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in
l
your vehicle. When you leave the vehicle,
take the child with you.

Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
l
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if defective.
E00406300475
Seat belt inspection
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 affects their characteristics.
WARNING
We recommend you have all seat belt as-
l
semblies 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.
Once the pretensioner has activated, it
l
cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the retractor.

Supplemental restraint
system (SRS) - airbag*
The information written in this Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) section contains im-
4
portant 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 moderateto-severe side impact collisions.
E00407202273
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
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
l
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG:
Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-
•
sengers 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.
WARNING
Seat belts reduce the risk of being
•
thrown from your vehicle in a collision
or roll-over.
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.
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 passen-
•
ger seat as far back as possible.
Make sure all vehicle occupants are al-
•
ways 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.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
l
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the
instrument panel.

Seat and seat belts
E00408800588
WARNING
Extreme Hazard!
l
Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!
How the Supplemental Restraint System works
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- Airbag control unit
6- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
OKTE15E3
E00407301352
7- Side airbag modules
8- Side impact sensors
9- Curtain airbag modules
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.
Page 77
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag*
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
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
l
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts,
bruises, and the like.
Front passenger’s airbag ONOFF switch
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 4-31.)
E00410100331
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is located in the glove box.
WARNING
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
l
Always remove the key from the igni-
•
tion 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

airbag system
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.

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).

Seat and seat belts
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.
OKTE15E3
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

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 trim material, badges, etc. 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.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to, or put them
l
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the airbags inflate.
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 them; you could be burned.
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.

WARNING
The side airbags and curtain airbags are
l
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.
The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
l
flate 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
Do not allow a child to kneel on the pas-
l
senger 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
Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
l
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.
Do not place any objects near or in front
l
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.

WARNING
Do not place stickers, labels or additional
l
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
Do not install seat covers on seats with
l
4
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that
have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
l
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
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
l
ted 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.
Do not allow a child to lean against or
l
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.
We recommend work around and on the
l
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
There is a Supplemental Restraint System
(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument
panel. The system checks itself every time
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. The SRS warning lamp will come on
for several seconds and then go out. This is
normal and means the system is working
properly. If there is a problem involving one
or more of the SRS components, the warning
lamp will come on and stay on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS
airbag and the seat belt pretensioner system.
