Seat belt inspection

E00406300475

Check the belts for cuts,

worn or frayed web-

bing and for cracked or deformed metallic

parts. Replace the belt assembly if defective.

A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-

tergent 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-

semblies including retractors and attach-

ing hardware inspected after any colli-

sion. We recommend that seat belt assem-

blies in use during a collision be replaced

unless the collision was minor and the

belts show no damage and continue to op-

erate properly.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-

mend you to have this work done by a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-

ment 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

cannot be re-used.

It must be replaced together with the re-

tractor.

Supplemental restraint system

(SRS) - airbag*

E00407201797

The information written in this Supplemental Re-

straint System (SRS) section contains important

points concerning the driver, front passenger, side

and curtain airbags.

The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-

signed 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-se-

vere 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 supple-

ment the properly worn seat belts and provide the

driver and passengers with protection against head

injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact

collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for

maximum protection in all types of crashes and ac-

cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-

eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle.

WARNING

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO

AL-

WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR

SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG:

WARNING

• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-

sengers properly positioned, which

re-

duces injury risk in all collisions, and

reduces the risk of serious or fatal in-

juries when the airbags inflate.

During sudden braking just before a

collision, an unrestrained or improper-

ly restrained driver or passengers can

move forward into direct contact with

or within close proximity to the airbag

which may then deploy during the col-

lision.

The initial stage of airbag inflation is

the most forceful which could cause se-

rious 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, be-

cause driver’s and passenger’s air-

bags are not designed to inflate in

those situations.

• Seat belts reduce the risk of being

thrown from your vehicle in a colli-

sion or roll-over.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-

ERLY SEATED.

A driver or front passenger too close to

the steering wheel or instrument panel

during airbag deployment can be killed

or seriously injured.

Airbags inflate very fast, and with great

force.

If the driver and front passenger are not

properly seated and restrained, the air-
