Srs Warning - Mitsubishi LANCER Owner's Manual

When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is
released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harm-
ful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it
may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory
problems.
The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-
severe frontal impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn.
The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain frontal
collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely
damaged. Such non-activation does not mean something is
wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that
the collision forces were not severe enough or not of the type to
activate the system.
WARNING
!
The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to
work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners
have been activated, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt
pre-tensioner system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
