Curtain Airbag System - Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2017 Owner's Manual

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the
vehicle that is impacted, even with no passen-
ger in the front seat.
WARNING
 The side airbag and curtain airbag can
cause serious injury or death to anyone
too close to the airbag when it deploys. To
reduce the risk of injury from a deploying
side airbag and curtain airbags, all occu-
pants must be properly restrained and
seated well back, upright, and in the mid-
dle of the seat. Do not lean against the
door.

WARNING
 In order to reduce the risk of injury from
a deploying side airbag, do not allow any
rear seat passengers to hold onto the back
of either front seat. Special care should be
taken with children.
 Do not place any objects near or around
the front of either front seatback. Such
objects can interfere with proper side air-
bag deployment and cause injury during
deployment of the side airbag.
 Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the back of either front seat. They
can interfere with proper side airbag
deployment.
 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.

other object may be hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate
correctly, resulting in death or serious
injury.
