WARNING
l
For some types of child restraint, the
locking clip (A) should be used to help
avoid personal injury during a collision
or sudden manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed.
Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
l
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if defective.
l
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral
detergent in warm water. After rinsing in wa-
ter, let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this affects
their characteristics.
WARNING
l
We recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col-
lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
l
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we rec-
ommend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or re-
placement could reduce the effectiveness
of the belts and could result in serious in-
jury in the event of a collision.
l
Once the pretensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.
Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag
E00407201843
The information written in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, driv-
er’s knee, 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 driver and front passenger airbags em-
ploy a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver
and front passenger airbag is controlled by the im-
pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle) and the
control unit (near the centre of the vehicle at floor
level).
The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to sup-
plement 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 over-
all body protection in certain moderate-to- severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest and
abdomen injuries in certain moder-ate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the driv-
er and passenger with protection against head inju-
ries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.
