Recommended 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 (bio die­sel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect
the engine’s performance and durability.
If proper “winter” fuel is not used in winter,

l

the diesel preheat indication lamp may blink
and the engine speed may not rise above the
idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this
case, keep the engine idling for approxi­mately 10 minutes, then turn off the ignition
switch or put the operation mode in OFF and
immediately turn it on or put in ON again to
confirm that the diesel preheat indication
lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel preheat indica­tion lamp” on page 5-12)

Cetane number (EN

590)
51 or higher

NOTE

For diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-

l

affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases con­siderably as the temperature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac­cordance with ambient temperature.

Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel

Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service sta­tions.
Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to

l

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 your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Filling the fuel tank

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING

When handling fuel, comply with the safe-

l

ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
Fuel is highly flammable and explosive.

l

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 well­ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to

l

get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the vehicle or
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.
Perform the whole refueling process

l

(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov­ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not
let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help
you and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-

l

er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam­ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel

l

contains toxic substances.

WARNING

Keep the doors and windows closed while

l

refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
If the fuel cap must be replaced, use only

l

a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

Fuel tank capacity

Open the cover (1). Insert the key in the
fuel cap (2) and unlock it.
Turn the fuel cap and remove it.

CAUTION

Since the fuel system may be under pressure,

l

remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have
built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing
sound, wait until it stops before removing
the fuel cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out,
injuring you or others.

NOTE

While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on

l

the hook (A) located on the inside of the fuel
tank filler door.

4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.

CAUTION

Do not tilt the gun.

In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To lock/unlock without using
the keyless operation function” on page
3-11.

Because the keyless operation key receives

l

signals in order to communicate with the
transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con­tinually wears down regardless of keyless
operation key use. The battery life is 1 to 2
years, depending on usage conditions. When
the battery wears out, replace the battery ac­cording to the description in this manual or
have it replaced a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the key

more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa­tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until that
window has been fully closed. Following
this, release the switch, raise the switch once
again and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be
able to operate in the normal fashion.

Seat adjustment

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.
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

l

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

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.
Do not place objects under the seats. This

l

could prevent the seat from locking se­curely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or oth­er parts.

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.
The reclining mechanism of the front man-

l

ual seat’s seatback is spring loaded, causing
it to fold the seatback forward when the lock
lever is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand to control its return motion.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to

l

catch your hand or foot.

CAUTION

If your vehicle is equipped with the rear

l

seat, when sliding or reclining the seat rear­ward, pay careful attention to the rear seat
passengers. (Club cab and Double cab)

warm).

CAUTION

Operate in the high position for quick heat-

l

ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater to
low to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat
temperature may be felt while using the
heated seats. This is caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermostat and does
not indicate a malfunction.

l

heated seats, they might become too hot or
receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):

Children, elderly or ill people

•

People with sensitive skin

•

Excessively tired people

•

People under the influence of alcohol or

•

sleep inducing medication (cold medicine,

Do not place heavy objects on the seat or

l

stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects
into it.
Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate-

l

rial with high heat insulation properties on
the seat while using the heater; this might
cause the heater element to overheat
Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alcohol

l

or other organic solvents when cleaning the
seats. Doing so could damage not only the
seat cover, but also the heater element.

WARNING

Driving without the head restraints in

l

place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when
the seat is occupied.
Never place a cushion or similar device on

l

the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.

To adjust height

Front seats

Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the head restraint is as close as pos­sible to ear level to reduce the chances of in­jury in the event of collision. Any person too
tall for the head restraint to reach their seated
ear 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.

Seat and seat belts

OKTE19E1

Seat belts

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 driv­ing.
The front seat belts each have a pretensioner
system. (Single cab and Club cab)
The front seat belts and the rear outer seat
belts each have a pretensioner system. (Dou­ble cab)
These belts are used the same way as a con­ventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system*” on page 4-10.

WARNING

Seat belts should always be worn by every

l

adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to
wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
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.

WARNING

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.
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.
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

Always wear the lap portion of the belt

l

over your hips.

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.

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.

For the rear passenger’s seats*

*- This warning lamp shows the

case of the 5-passenger vehicles.

If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in ON
while a seat belt is not fastened, the warning
lamp comes on for approximately 30 seconds
to remind the rear passenger to fasten the seat
belt.

If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still
unfastened, the warning lamps come on for
approximately another 30 seconds. (This illu­mination happens only the first time the vehi­cle starts moving with the seat belt still un­fastened.)
The warning lamps go off when the seat belt
is fastened.

WARNING

Do not install any accessory or sticker

l

that makes the lamp difficult to see.

NOTE

The warning lamp comes on even if no one

l

is sitting on the rear seats.
If a seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle

l

is being driven, the tone sounds for approxi­mately 1 second and the warning lamp
comes on for approximately 30 seconds. At
the same time, the warning lamp for the seat
where the seat belt is not fastened comes on.
If the seat belts are initially fastened but a

l

seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle is
stationary and the vehicle is then driven with
the seat belt still unfastened, the warning
lamp comes on again for approximately 30
seconds.

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*

The front seat belts each have a pretensioner
system and force limiter system. (Single cab
and Club cab)
The front seat belts and the rear outer seat
belts each have a pretensioner system and
force limiter system. (Double cab)

Pretensioner system

When the ignition switch or the operation
mode is under the following conditions, if
there is a frontal impact or a side impact (ve­hicles equipped with SRS side airbags and
SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure
the driver and/or front passenger or when a
rollover or overturning of the vehicle is de­tected (if so equipped), the pretensioner sys­tem will retract the respective seat belts in­stantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s
effectiveness.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.

WARNING

To obtain the best results from your pre-

l

tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear
your seat belt properly.

CAUTION

Installation of audio equipment or repairs in

l

the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could
affect the pretensioner systems.
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-

l

sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. It is important to do so be­cause unexpected activation of the preten­sioner seat belts could cause injuries.

NOTE

The pretensioner seat belts will be activated

l

if the vehicle suffers a severe 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 to have them replaced by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv­ice Point.

Child restraint

Force limiter system

In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load ap­plied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.

Child restraint

When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should al­ways be used according to the size of the
child. This is required by law in most coun­tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil­dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with
the relevant regulations.

l

l

l

WARNING

When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil­dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather
than in the front seat.
Holding a child in your arms is no substi­tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se­vere or fatal injury to the child.
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.

WARNING

When attaching a child restraint system

l

to the rear seat, adjust the front seat to
prevent the front seatbacks from touching
the child’s feet and child restraint system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in­jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.

Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag

The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger airbag.

WARNING

Extreme Hazard!

l

NEVER use a rearward facing child re­straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI­OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

NOTE

The labels may be in different positions de-

l

pending on the vehicle model.

Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air­bag ON-OFF switch. (Club cab and Double
cab, refer to “To turn an airbag off (Club cab
and Double cab)” on page 4-27)

Child restraint

WARNING

A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-

l

STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air­bag has not been deactivated. The force of

4

an inflating airbag could kill or cause se­rious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-

l

STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if it must be used in
the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail­ure to do so could kill or cause serious in­juries to the child.

Infants and small children

When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.

Instruction:

For small infants, an infant carrier

l

should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
The child restraint system should be ap-

l

propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE
REAR SEAT.
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 fixed
firmly 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:

Using the lower anchorage in the rear seat

•

ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (Double cab, See page 4-20).
Using the seat belt (See page 4-20).

•

4-12

Seat and seat belts

OKTE19E1

Older children

Children who have outgrown the child re­straint system should be seated in the 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.

Seat belt inspection

Seat belt inspection

Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web­bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec­tive.

WARNING

We recommend you to have all seat belt

l

assemblies including retractors and at­taching hardware inspected after any col­lision. We recommend that seat belt as­semblies in use during a collision be re­placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.

WARNING

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 been activated,

l

it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re­tractor.
Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces

l

of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi­tion, do not modify, remove or install the
seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not
be able to provide adequate protection in
a collision or other situation.

WARNING

A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-

l

tral detergent in warm water. After rins­ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be­cause this will affect their characteristics.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS)-airbag*

The information for SRS airbags includes im­portant information concerning the driver’s
and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s
knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.

The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s 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 airbag employ a dual stage
airbag system (if so equipped). The SRS
driver and front passenger airbag is control­led by the impact sensors (at the front of the
vehicle) and the control unit (near the centre
of the vehicle at floor level).

OKTE19E1

Seat and seat belts

4-23

Supplemental restraint system (SRS)-airbag*

The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip­ped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It
can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased
overall body protection in certain moderate-

4

to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de­signed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and front passen­ger with protection against chest injuries in
certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli­sions.

The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passengers
on the front seat and rear outboard seat with
protection against head injuries by deploying
the curtain airbag on the side impacted in
moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur­ing all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.

NOTE

The ERA-GLONASS (if so equipped) is de-

l

signed to operate when any of the airbags
deploy.
Refer to “ERA-GLONASS*” on page 8-02

How the Supplemental Re­straint System works

The SRS includes the following components:

1. Airbag module (Driver)

2. Front passenger’s airbag indicator (Club
cab and Double cab)

3. Airbag module (Passenger)

4. Driver’s knee airbag module*

5. Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch (Club cab and Double cab)

6. Side airbag modules*

7. Curtain airbag modules*

Only when the ignition switch or the opera­tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
When the airbag control unit detects a roll­over of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will be
deployed. (if so equipped)

OKTE19E1

Supplemental restraint system (SRS)-airbag*

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.

CAUTION

Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.

l

In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.

WARNING

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE

l

PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air­bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
they inflate.

WARNING

Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or sit

l

with your lower legs too close to the in­strument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
Place all infants and small children in the

l

rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.

OKTE19E1

WARNING

Infants and small children should never

l

be unrestrained, stand up against the in­strument panel or be held in your arms or
on your lap. They could be seriously in­jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child
restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.

WARNING

Older children should be seated, properly

Driver’s and front passenger’s 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 inflates at two different
rates according to the severity of the impact
(if so equipped).

OKTE19E1

Driver’s knee airbag system*

The driver’s knee airbag is located under the
steering wheel. The driver’s knee airbag is
designed to deploy at the same time as the
driver’s front airbag.

Deployment of front airbags and driver’s knee airbag

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe frontal impact. The typi­cal condition is shown in the illustration.

1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at

speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher

2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with-

in the shaded area between the arrows

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
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 and driver’s knee airbag
may not deploy. However, this threshold
speed will be considerably higher if the vehi­cle strikes an object that absorbs the impact
by either deforming or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard
rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts
will help keep you a safe distance from the
steering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa­tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed
to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu­pants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY NOT DE­PLOY when…

With certain types of frontal collisions, the
vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from
harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de­form significantly as it absorbs the impact.)
Under such circumstances, the front airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre­spective of the deformation and damage to
the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.

1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other

narrow object

2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a

truck

3- Oblique frontal impacts

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop­erly wear your seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag ARE NOT DE­SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
not designed to deploy in conditions where
they cannot typically provide protection to
the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.

1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of collisions, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY when…

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf­fers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercar­riage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex­pected impacts as shown in the illustration
that can easily move you out of position, it is
important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a

safe distance from the steering wheel and in­strument panel during the initial stages of air­bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.

WARNING

Do not attach anything to the steering

l

wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
Do not set anything on, or attach anything

l

to, the instrument panel above the glove
box. It might strike and injure an occu­pant if the airbag inflates.

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 attach additional keys or accesso-

l

ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could pre­vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat­ing normally or could be propelled to
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
Do not attach accessories to the lower por-

l

tion of the driver’s side instrument panel.
Such objects could prevent the driver’s
knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injury
if the airbag inflates.

WARNING

Do not put packages, pets or other objects

l

between the airbags and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag per­formance, or could cause injury when the
airbag inflates.
Right after the airbag inflation, several

l

airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
The airbag system is designed to work on-

l

ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced and we recommend
you to have the entire airbag system in­spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

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 airbag and curtain airbag inflate

l

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

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.
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

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 lean
against or be close to the area where the

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 or the operation mode is put in ON.
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.

WARNING

If any of the following conditions occur,

l

there may be a problem with the SRS air­bags and/or seat belt pretensioners, and
they may not function properly in a colli­sion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:

Even when the ignition switch or the

•

operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on.
The SRS warning lamp comes on while

•

driving.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pretension­ers are designed to help reduce the risk of
serious injury or death in certain colli­sions. If either of the above conditions oc­curs, immediately have your vehicle
checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

NOTE

On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLO-

l

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.
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat

l

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.
If your vehicle has sustained any damage,

l

we recommend you to have the SRS in­spected to ensure it is in proper working
order.
On vehicles with the side airbags, do not

l

modify your front seats, centre pillar and
