CAUTION
For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
l
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the
engine and catalytic converter. Do not use
leaded fuel.
Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
l
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.
Petrol-powered vehicles

E00200104901
CAUTION
For diesel-powered vehicles, if proper “win-
l
ter” fuel is not used in winter, 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 about ten minutes,
then turn off the ignition switch and immediately turn it on again to confirm that the diesel preheat indication lamp is off. (Refer to
“Diesel preheat indication lamp” on page
5-09.)
NOTE
It is advisable to sufficiently warm up the
l
engine after starting it when the outside temperature is below zero °C.
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.
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.
NOTE
In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driv-
l
ing short distances at low speeds can cause
deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a detergent additive to the gasoline
when you refuel the vehicle. The additive
will remove the deposits, thereby returning
the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to
use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
l
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these problems, try another brand and/or grade of petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.

Filling the fuel tank
NOTE
In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality die-
l
sel fuel can cause deposits 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.
E10 type petrol
The petrol engines are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming to European standards EN 228.
E00203200019
CAUTION
Do not use more than 10 % concentration of
l
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.
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 tank filler tube
l
cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of
the car 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 tank filler tube 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 door 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 fuel tank filler tube cap must be re-
l
placed, use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine part.

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 vehicles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Only in the case of parts (MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS
genuine accessories) that are recommended
and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attached or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume,
that optimal safety has been provided. The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For your own safety, in such cases, you should only undertake
modifications according to the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Modification/alterations to
the electrical or fuel systems
E00200400254
MITSUBISHI MOTORS has always manufactured safe, high quality vehicles. In order
to maintain this safety and quality, it is important that any accessory that is to be fitted,
or any modifications carried out which involve the electrical or fuel systems, should be
carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION
If the wiring interferes with any part of the
l
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.
Genuine parts
E00200500617
MITSUBISHI MOTORS has gone to great
lengths to bring you a superbly crafted automobile offering the highest quality and dependability.
Use MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine parts,
designed and manufactured to maintain your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS automobile at top
performance. MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine parts are identified by this mark and are

The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently, and the security alarm indicator (A) blinks)
The system preparation time extends from
the point at which all of the doors (including
the backdoor) are locked by the keyless entry
switch to the point at which the system activation mode goes into effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door without using the keyless entry
system and without causing the alarm to
sound (for example, when you forget something inside the vehicle or realize that a window is open).

the system armed mode starts. If an unlawful
opening of any of the doors (including the
backdoor) or the bonnet is detected during
the system armed mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people around the vehicle of
an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the
alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren
sounds for approximately 30 seconds. Refer

NOTE
The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
l
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation
during the system preparation mode or the
system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.

NOTE
When lending the vehicle to another person
l
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by
someone who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm system or set the security alarm system to the
“inactive” mode.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the security alarm system accidentally unlocked the
vehicle, causing the alarm to sound, the
alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.

Seat adjustment
E00400301988
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.
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.
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.
WARNING
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.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to
l
catch your hand or foot.

l
kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other organic
solvents; these might damage the surface of
the seat and also the heater element.
CAUTION
If water or any other liquid is spilled on the
l
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
Turn the heater off immediately if it appears
l
to be malfunctioning during use.

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 head 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 head restraint to reach their seated
eye level, should adjust the restraint as high
as possible.

Seat belts
E00404800072
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 have a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a
conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system” on page 4-25.

Seat belts
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
4
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.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
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 belt to a snug fit.
l
WARNING
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

1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
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.
WARNING
Never wear the lap portion of the belt
l
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen
and increase the risk of injury.
The seat belts must not be twisted when
l
worn.

are used to remind the driver to fasten the
seat belt.
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
driver’s seat belt remains unfastened for approximately 1 minute later, the warning lamp
will flash and the tone sound intermittently
(each 12 times) when the vehicle is driven. If
the driver subsequently unfastens the seat
belt while driving, the warning lamp and tone
will issue further warnings. And if the seat
belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp
and tone will issue further warnings each
time the vehicle starts moving from a stop.
When the seat belt is fastened, the warnings
will stop.

Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system
E00405701323
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat
each have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system and force limiter system.
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.
E00405800747
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 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 to have them replaced by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

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.
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.
E00405900083
E00406000153
E00406403233
WARNING
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 system
l
to the rear seat, prevent the front seatbacks from touching the 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 vehicle with front
passenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger’s 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. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 4-40.)
4-26
Seat and seat belts
OVWX17E1
Page 67
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
an inflating airbag could kill or cause serious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint must only be used in
the rear seat.
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front
seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward
position.
Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
E00406602166
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.
Child restraint
Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
l
tem, try installing it in the rear seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because of
the location of the seat belt buckles and
the shape of the seat cushion, it may be
difficult to securely install some manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.
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.

Seat belt inspection
E00406301690
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.
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.
WARNING
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.
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
E00407203397
The information written in this Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) section contains important points concerning the driver, front
passenger, side and curtain airbags.
4-36
Seat and seat belts
OVWX17E1
Page 77
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
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’s and front passenger’s airbags employ a dual stage airbag system. The
SRS driver’s and front passenger’s 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).
The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is designed to supplement 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 (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger
with protection against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
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.
How the Supplemental Restraint System works
E00407302939
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
OVWX17E1
5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
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, light cuts,
bruises, and the like.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
l
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
4
during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and passengers are not properly seated and restrained, the airbags
may not protect you properly, and could
cause serious or fatal injuries when it inflates.
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.
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.
WARNING
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 the rear seat in an appropriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 4-40.)
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
an inflating airbag could kill or cause serious injuries to the child.
A rearward facing child restraint must
only 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, adjust the seat to
the most rearward position. Failure to do
so could kill or cause serious injuries to
the child.

Driver’s and passenger’s front
airbag system
E00407400372
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.
The front passenger’s airbag deploys at the
same time as the driver’s airbag, even if the
passenger seat is not occupied, and inflates at
two different rates according to the severity
of the impact.
Deployment of front airbags
E00407501279
The front airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
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.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a
speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with-
in the shaded area between the arrows
4
OVWX17E1
Seat and seat belts
4-41
Page 82
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
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 be-
4
low 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.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow objects
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a
truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags are not designed to deploy
in conditions where they cannot typically
provide protection to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to
always properly wear your seat belts.
4-42
Seat and seat belts
OVWX17E1
Page 83
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags may deploy if the bottom of
the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1-
Collision with an elevated median/island
or kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and
hits the ground
Because the front airbags may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts as shown in
the illustration that can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always properly
wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you a safe distance from the steering
wheel and instrument panel during the initial
stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage
of airbag inflation is the most forceful and
can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.
WARNING
Do not attach anything to the steering
l
wheel 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
4
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 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 the seats
with side airbags. They 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 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
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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
WARNING
Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
l
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce the risk of injury from
a deploying side airbag. Special care
should be taken with children.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
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.
E00407801706
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 colli-
WARNING
sion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
Even when the ignition switch is
•
in“ON” position, 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.
SRS servicing
WARNING
We recommend any maintenance per-
l
formed 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.
E00407901390
WARNING
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 equipped with side airbags,
l
do not modify your front seats, centre pillar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance
and lead to possible injury. If you found
any tear, scratch, crack or damage to the
seat fabric near the side airbag, the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should have the SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle
l
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.

suddenly; consequently, avoid driving at
high speeds or applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, the vehicle should be brought
to a stop in a safe location and to have it
checked.
The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
•
nate when the parking brake is applied or
does not turn off when the parking brake
is released.

•
ing lamp illuminate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 6-38.
The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
•
nated during driving.
The brake warning buzzer does not turn
•
off.
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
l
the following manner when brake performance has deteriorated.
Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
•
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
•
to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.
NOTE
In certain cases immediately after the engine
l
has been started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by
operation of brake devices may be heard
coming from the engine compartment. At
this time, you may feel a shock from the
brake pedal if you depress it. This type of
noise or shock is normal and there is no need
for concern. In fact, they indicate that the
corresponding devices are operating normally.
The brake system uses brake fluid pressur-
l
ized by the pump.
Please refer to “Braking” on page 6-35.
