Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system*
The driver's and front passenger's seat equipped
with an airbag has a pretensioner seat belt.
Pretensioner system
The pretensioner system will retract their respec-
tive seat belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the
seat belt's effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact
2 severe enough to injure the driver and/or front pas-
senger and the ignition switch is in the "ON" or
"START" position.
The seat belt pretensioner includes the following
components:
1- Front impact sensors
2- Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit

CAUTION
l Installation of audio equipment or re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. It is important to do
so because unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause inju-
ries.
NOTE
l The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and the pretensioner seat belts.

Refer to "SRS warning lamp" on page 2-38.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem will effectively absorb the load applied to the
seat belt so as to minimize the impact to the passen-
ger.
