protection in certain moderate to severe frontal
collisions.
The knee airbags inflate quickly in order to help
protect the occupants. Because of this, the force
of the knee airbag inflating can increase the risk
of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is
against, this airbag module during inflation. The
knee airbag will deflate quickly after the
collision is over OR the knee airbag will remain
inflated for a short time.
The knee airbags operate only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the SRS airbag warning light
illuminates. The SRS airbag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
system is operational.
WARNING
.
Do not place any objects between the knee
bolster and the driver’s or passenger’s
seat. Such objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a knee
airbag inflates.
.
Right after inflation, the knee airbag
system components will be hot. Do not
touch them; you may severely burn your-
self.
.
No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the knee
airbag system. This is to prevent damage
to or accidental inflation of the knee airbag
system.
.
Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system or suspension
system. This could affect proper operation
of the knee airbag system.
.
Tampering with the knee airbag system
may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the driver or
passenger knee bolster or install additional
trim material around the knee airbag.
.
It is recommended that you visit an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for
work on and around the knee airbag. It is
also recommended that you visit an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for
installation of electrical equipment. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the knee
airbag system.
*The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the knee airbag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this manual.
