Mitsubishi MOTORS Pajero, Owner'S Manual

Page: 79 / 377

WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate
with great force. The driver and passen-
ger should not put their arms out of the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce the risk of seri-
ous or possible fatal injury from the de-
ploying side airbag and curtain airbag.
WARNING
l Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
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.
WARNING
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover the seats
with side airbags. They could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
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 as-
sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
l Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
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 ob-
jects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
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 loca-
ted. 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.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
