The Front Airbags May Deploy When; Collision With An Elevated Median/Island Or Curb; Vehicle Travels Over A Deep Hole/Pothole; Vehicle Drives Down A Steep Slope And Hits The Ground - Mitsubishi OUTLANDER Manual

The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when ...

The front airbags may deploy if the underside of the vehicle
suffers a moderate to severe impact (undercarriage impact).
Typical situations are shown in the illustration.
Because the front airbags may deploy in certain types of unex-
pected impacts, as shown in the illustrations, and these unex-
pected impacts can move you out of position, it is important to
always wear the seat belts properly. When worn properly, seat
belts can help maintain your distance from the airbags when
they begin to inflate. The beginning stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you
are close to the deploying airbag.
