Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
WARNING
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or
pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur-
tain airbag was activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force
4
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
objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats
that have side airbags. Covers can inter-
fere with proper side airbag deployment
and adversely affect side airbag perfor-
mance.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
system in the front passenger seat. Rear-
facing child restraint systems MUST
ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Front-facing
child
should also be used ONLY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system
must be used in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible, and
make sure that the child stays in the child
restraint system, properly restrained and
away from the door.

Seat and restraint systems
WARNING
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit
close to the passenger 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 section of the
seatback where the side airbag and cur-
tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if
the side airbag or curtain airbag deploys.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious injury or death to the
child.
Work done on or in the vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain airbag components
should be done only by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a
serious injury or death. Improper work
methods can cause accidental side airbag
or curtain airbag deployment, or render a
side airbag or curtain airbag inoperable.
Either of these situations could result in
restraint
systems
serious injury or death.
Do not place luggage heavier than the
specified on the roof carrier.
Such luggage may cause the curtain air-
bags to inflate accidentally, which could
result in serious injury or death.
