SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simultaneously with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up
seat belt slack immediately when a collision takes
place by that restraining the front passengers sooner
than the SRS. This prevents the passengers from
moving forwards.

Upon front impact the pretensioner ignites the gas
generator and emits gas with the SRS-ECU signal
when the front impact sensor, attached to the front of
the body, detects an impact that exceeds the permissible limit. The gas pressure shifts the ball in the pipe
and the balls comes in contact with the protrusion of
the ring gear, The ball is inserted in the ring gear and
then interlocked with the pinion. The ring gear rotation forces the pinion to turn the spool toward the belt
wind direction to wind the webbing.

SRS-ECU
CAUTION
Never disassemble the SRS-ECU.
The SRS-ECU incorporates an analog G-sensor and
safing G-sensor for frontal collisions and a safing Gsensor for side collisions. In frontal collisions, the
driverís and passengerís (front) air bags deploy and
the seat belt pre-tensioners are activated only when
both the analog and safing G-sensors detect simultaneously a collision-induced G of a level exceeding
the threshold as in the case with the conventional
system. In the case of side collisions, the side-airbag
on the side subjected to an impact deploys if the side
impact sensor and the SRS-ECUís safing G-sensor
detect simultaneously a lateral G of forces above the
predetermined level.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FEATURE
The parking brakes are a mechanical rear wheel
brake design and controlled by a lever.
Top comp on ents such as Bremb o! brakes, EBD and
sports ABS improve braking power and braking stability.
SPORTS ABS
• 4-wheel independent control optimizes the brake
force to each wheel to achieve a balance of
improved braking force and braking stability.
• A steering angular velocity sensor was added to
monitor the steering angle status. Braking force is
altered in response to the steering status to
improve the quality of steering when braking in
corners.
• The steering angular velocity sensor, lateral Gsensor and longitudinal G-sensor accurately
monitor driving conditions and optimize ABS control to match the specific driving conditions.
M2351000100186
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution
system)
• Rear brake power is electronically controlled to
optimize performance in accordance with road
and load conditions and to ensure optimal distribution of braking force between the front and rear
brakes.
• Rear brake fluid pressure control employs a
brake modulator hydraulic unit solenoid valve that
made it possible to eliminate the pressure control
valves (proportioning valves).
• Effective use of rear wheel brake force reduces
temperature build-up in the front brakes under
hard braking conditions.
• Independent control of the left and right rear
brakes when braking during cornering achieves a
balance of improved vehicle stability and braking
force.

The steering angular velocity sensor is installed at
the steering column, and is used to output steer
angles to the ABS-ECU as signals. It is composed of
the slit plate which rotates according to the movements of the steering wheel and a three-set photointerruptor. The slit plate and photointerruptors have a
sealed integrated structure to prevent the invasion of
foreign particles as well as misoperations by external
light. To detect malfunctions of the sensor output circuit, it is equipped with a zener diode for detecting
disconnections parallel to the photo-transistor. The

ABS-ECU calculates the steering angle by reading
the signals of the steering angular velocity sensor
after every certain period of time and calculating the
total of the ST-1 signal and ST-2 signal. The steering
angle is obtained by taking the neutral position (ST-N
output is L center) as 0 degree angle, and if there are
changes, the steering angle is added with 2 degree
angle for right and -2 degree angle for left. The output of the photointerruptor becomes L (low) when
light passes through and H (high) when obstructed.

FEATURES
.
Improved braking performance
1. A 8+9-inch tandem vacuum booster is utilized to
provide high braking force with a small pedal
depression force.
2. Brembo! 17-inch 4-pot front ventilated disc
brakes and Brembo! 16-inch 2-pot rear ventilated disc brakes are adopted to provide stable
braking force and improved braking feel.
.
Improved stability
1. Sports ABS (4-wheel anti-lock braking system) is
used to prevent slipping caused by the vehicle
wheels locking up in order to maintain an appropriate braking distance, and also to maintain a
stable vehicle posture and steering performance.
M2350000100183
2. Adoption of an electronic brake-force distribution
(EBD) makes it possible to maintain the maximum amount of braking force even when the
vehicle's load is unevenly distributed.
3. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout is
used.
• An outer disc method in which the wheels and
discs are tightened together is used to improve
the ease of brake disc removal and installation.

built on a double wishbone base to achieve superior
handling stability. Optimum design of the suspension
points and use of aluminum parts for the suspension
arms and crossmember reduces weight. In addition,
use of ball joints on the suspension arms reduce friction and creates a suspension system that exhibits
superior stroke characteristics that respond well
under all driving conditions.
STRUCTURE
1. The A-shape upper arm assembly mounted
inside the wheel combines with the three Ishaped arms including the trailing arm assembly
that runs in front-rear orientation with the vehicleís body, the lower arm assembly and the assist
link to support the knuckle.
2. Each arm uses a ball joint and pillow ball bushing
at the knuckle end and a pillow ball bushing at the
body end, and are mounted on the body via the
crossmember.
3. Alignment and suspension stroke, a wider track,
and optimization of roll center height improves
cornering response throughout the range from
initial response through to the cornering limit.
M2340000100137
COMPONENT CHARACTERISTICS
(COMPARED TO THE LANCER)
1. Suspension arm (made of forged aluminum)
• The trailing arm assembly, upper arm assembly, lower arm assembly and assist link are
made of forged aluminum to reduce weight
and increase rigidity.
• The knuckle mount and body-end mount for
the lower arm assembly use pillow ball bushings for high rigidity and reduce suspension
friction.
• The body-end mount for the assist link uses a
low-friction slide bushing.
2. Crossmember (made of forged aluminum)
• The crossmember is made of forged aluminum to reduce weight and increase rigidity.
• The shock absorber size was changed and
the rod diameter was increased to improve
stability during roll by increasing damping
response.
• Optimization of shock absorber damping,
spring rate, bump rubber characteristics and
bushing characteristics improves cornering
response throughout the range from initial
response through to the cornering limit.
A MacPherson strut independent suspension-type
suspension is used for the front suspension. Aggressive use of special components that include
Mitsubishi Motorís own inverted struts and forged
aluminum parts reduces weight to create a suspension that gives superior performance made with competition use in mind.
FEATURES (COMPARED TO THE
LANCER)
.
Inverted struts
Use of inverted struts ensures smooth shock
absorber action even during high speed cornering
that places high lateral G-force on the suspension.
.
Coil springs
The coil spring rate was optimized and highresponse spring material is used to achieve high
durability and reduce weight.
.
Lower arm assembly
Use of forged aluminum reduces load on the coil
springs and produces nimble suspension action. In
addition, outer casings and stoppers on the front
bushings (A-point) and pillow ball bushings in the
rear (G-point) improves the feeling of stiffness and
stroke. Increased size of the ball on the ball joints at
the knuckle connection (B-point) also improve reliability.
M2330000100147
.
Stabilizer
A change to pillow ball joints for the stabilizer link
improves stabilizer efficiency to deliver a high level of
stability.
.
Crossmember
A reinforcing bar (front axle crossmember bar) that
connects the left and right lower arm mounts (Apoints) increases lateral rigidity. This improves steering feel and adds extra stiffness when cornering.
.
Strut insulator
Input from the strut has been changed from a separation pattern to a unified one and the use of a metal
bearing achieves greater rigidity, durability, and lower
friction.
.
Alignment
A wider track and optimization of roll center height
improves cornering response throughout the range
from initial response through to the cornering limit.

An inverted strut layout (with the cylinder at the top
and the piston at the bottom) is used. This layout
offers superior rigidity and consequently improved
camber stiffness. Further, either of two camber
angles can be selected in accordance with operating
conditions. The camber angle is determined by the
alignment of an eccentric bolt at the top of the joint

between the strut assembly and knuckle. Vehicles
leave the factory with a camber angle of -1 degree
angle selected. (An arrow on the eccentric bolt is
pointing toward the inside of the vehicle.) For a camber angle of -2 degree angle, the bolt must be positioned with its arrow pointing toward the outside of
the vehicle.

SPORTS ABS
• 4-wheel independent control optimizes the brake
force to each wheel to achieve a balance of
improved braking force and braking stability.
• A steering angular velocity sensor monitors the
steering angle status. Braking force is altered in
response to the steering status to improve the
quality of steering when braking during cornering.
• The steering angular velocity sensor, lateral Gsensor and longitudinal G-sensor monitor driving
conditions and optimize ABS control to match the
specific driving conditions.
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution
system)
• Rear brake power is electronically controlled to
optimize performance in accordance with road
and load conditions and to ensure optimal distribution of braking force between the front and rear
brakes.
• Rear brake fluid pressure control employs a
brake modulator hydraulic unit solenoid valve that
made it possible to eliminate the pressure control
valves (proportioning valves).
• Effective use of rear wheel brake force reduces
temperature build-up in the front brakes under
hard braking conditions.
• Independent control of the left and right rear
brakes when braking during cornering achieves a
balance of improved vehicle stability and braking
force.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The engine immobilizer system prevents the engine
from starting and immobilizes the vehicle if a key
other than the key registered for that vehicle is used
in an attempt to start the engine after forced entry.
The engine immobilizer system consists of the ignition key, key ring antenna, immobilizer ECU, and
engine control module (ECM). It works in the following way and has these functions:
1. After the ignition is switched on, the engine control module sends a control signal and transponder read command signal to the immobilizer
ECU.
2. When the immobilizer ECU receives the control
signal from the engine control module through
the key ring antenna, the immobilizer ECU supplies a current and sends random number data to
the transponder in the ignition key.
3. The transponder uses the random number data
to derive an ID code, which is sent to the immobilizer ECU through the key ring antenna.
M2540003000069
4. The immobilizer ECU compares the ID code that
was sent with pre-registered ID codes, and if it
matches, a control signal approving ignition is
sent to the engine control module. If the ID code
does not match (in the case of counterfeit ignition
keys, for example), the immobilizer ECU sends a
control signal denying ignition to the engine control module, preventing the engine from starting.
5. The system is designed to be maintenance-free
because the power source for the transponder is
supplied by the immobilizer ECU. Two ignition
keys are provided, and up to four keys can be
registered to one vehicle (one receiver) as
needed. There are one million possible combinations for the registered ID codes. In addition, one
part of the code is changed each time the key is
switched on, which improves security by preventing theft using a copied ID code.
NOTE: If the immobilizer ECU is replaced or if the
ignition key is lost or additional keys are requested,
the MUT-II or III must be used to reset all transmitter
ID codes. During the resetting process, all transmitters must be re-registered because the registered ID
codes will be erased.
