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 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.

l

Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It  must  be  replaced  together  with  the  re-
tractor.

WARNING

l

Do  not  insert  any  foreign  objects  (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle  or  retractor  mechanism.  In  addi-
tion, 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.

l

A  dirty  belt  should  be  cleaned  with  neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt  to  bleach  or  re-dye  the  belts  be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.

Supplemental restraint
system (SRS)-airbag*

E00407203573

The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant  information  concerning  the  driver’s
and  front  passenger’s  airbags,  the  driver’s
knee  airbag,  the  side  airbags  and  the  curtain
airbags.
 

The  SRS  driver’s  and  front  passenger’s  air-
bags are designed to supplement the primary
protection  of  the  driver  and  front  passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those oc-
cupants  with  protection  against  head  and
chest  injuries  in  certain  moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
 
The  SRS  driver  airbag  employ  a  dual  stage
airbag  system  (if  so  equipped).  The  SRS
driver  and  front  passenger  airbag  is  control-
led 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  driver’s  knee  airbag  (if  so  equip-
ped)  is  designed  to  supplement  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
overall  body  protection  in  certain  moderate-
to-severe frontal collisions.
 
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de-
signed  to  supplement  properly  worn  seat
belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger  with  protection  against  chest  injuries  in
certain  moderate-to-severe  side  impact  colli-
sions.
 

Supplemental restraint system (SRS)-airbag*

4-24

OKTE18E1

Seat and seat belts

The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed  to  supplement  properly  worn  seat
belts  and  provide  the  driver  and  passengers
on the front seat and rear outboard seat with
protection against head injuries by deploying
the  curtain  airbag  on  the  side  impacted  in
moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
 
The  SRS  is  NOT  a  substitute  for  the  seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing  all  types  of  collisions  and  accidents,  all
occupants,  including  the  passengers  as  well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.

NOTE

l

The ERA-GLONASS (if so equipped) is de-
signed  to  operate  when  any  of  the  airbags
deploy.
Refer to “ERA-GLONASS*” on page 8-02

How the Supplemental Re-

straint System works

E00407303284

The SRS includes the following components:

1. Airbag module (Driver)
2. Front passenger’s airbag indicator (Club

cab and Double cab)

3. Airbag module (Passenger)
4. Driver’s knee airbag module*
5. Front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF

switch (Club cab and Double cab)
 

6. Side airbag modules*

7. Curtain airbag modules*

Only  when  the  ignition  switch  or  the  opera-
tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except  for  vehicles  equipped  with  keyless
operation system]
The  ignition  switch  is  in  the  “ON”  or
“START” position.
[Vehicles  equipped  with  keyless  operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
When  the  airbag  control  unit  detects  a  roll-
over of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will be
deployed. (if so equipped)
The  airbags  deployment  produces  a  sudden,
loud  noise,  and  releases  some  smoke  and
powder,  but  these  conditions  are  not  injuri-
ous, 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 deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.

CAUTION

l

Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In  certain  situations,  contact  with  inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.

WARNING

l

IT  IS  VERY  IMPORTANT  TO  BE
PROPERLY 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-
bags  may  not  protect  you  properly,  and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
they inflate.

l

Do  not  sit  on  the  edge  of  the  seat,  or  sit
with  your  lower  legs  too  close  to  the  in-
strument  panel,  or  lean  head  or  chest
close  to  the  steering  wheel  or  instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.

l

Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.

WARNING

l

Infants  and  small  children  should  never
be  unrestrained,  stand  up  against  the  in-
strument panel or be held in your arms or
on  your  lap.  They  could  be  seriously  in-
jured  or  killed  in  a  collision,  including
when  the  airbag  inflates.  They  should  be
properly  seated  in  an  appropriate  child
restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.

WARNING

l

Older children should be seated, properly
wearing the seat belt, with an appropriate
booster seat if needed.

When  the  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF
switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will
stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag  is  not  operational.  When  the  front  pas-
senger’s  airbag  ON-OFF  switch  is  turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON
indicator  comes  on  for  approximately  1  mi-
nute to show that the front passenger’s airbag
is operational.

WARNING

Always  remove  the  key  from  the  front
passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF  switch  af-
ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so  could  lead  to  improper  position  of
the  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF
switch.

Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag  ON-OFF  switch  except  when  a
child  restraint  system  is  fitted  to  the
front passenger seat.

If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a
child  restraint  system  to  the  front  pas-
senger  seat.  We  recommend  you  to
have  the  system  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized
Service Point.

If  the  OFF  indicator  remains  on  when
the  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, do not allow any-
one  to  sit  on  the  front  passenger  seat.
We recommend you to have the system

Driver’s and front passenger’s

airbag system

E00407402015

The driver’s airbag is located under the pad-
ded 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
(if so equipped).

The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s
airbag  are  designed  to  inflate  at  the  same
time  even  if  the  passenger  seat  is  not  occu-
pied.

Driver’s knee airbag system*

E00412401263

The driver’s knee airbag is located under the
steering  wheel.  The  driver’s  knee  airbag  is
designed  to  deploy  at  the  same  time  as  the
driver’s front airbag.

Deployment of front airbags

and driver’s knee airbag

E00407502814

The  front  airbags  and  driver’s

knee  airbag  ARE  DESIGNED

TO DEPLOY when…

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate  to  severe  frontal  impact.  The  typi-
cal condition is shown in the illustration.

1- Head-on  collision  with  a  solid  wall  at

speed  of  approximately  25  km/h
(16 mph) or higher

2- Moderate-to-severe  frontal  impact  with-

in the shaded area between the arrows

The  front  airbags  and  driver’s  knee  airbag
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 below the above threshold level,
the  front  airbags  and  driver’s  knee  airbag
may  not  deploy.  However,  this  threshold
speed will be considerably higher if the vehi-
cle  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  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 fa-
tal  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  occu-
pants,  be  sure  to  always  properly  wear  your
seat belts.

The  front  airbags  and  driver’s

knee  airbag  MAY  NOT  DE-

PLOY 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 de-
form  significantly  as  it  absorbs  the  impact.)
Under  such  circumstances,  the  front  airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre-
spective  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 object

2- Vehicle  slides  under  the  rear  body  of  a

truck

3- Oblique frontal impacts
