cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-
tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or
severe fading from sunlight. All of these con-
ditions indicate a weakening of the belt,
which may adversely affect seat belt perfor-
mance in an accident.
WARNING
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies. This work
should be done by a certified Mitsubishi
EV dealer. Failure to have a certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer perform the work could
reduce the effectiveness of the belts and
could result in a serious injury or death in
an accident.
Never use an organic solvent to clean the
seat belt webbing. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the seat belt webbing.
These may weaken the seat belt webbing,
increasing risk of injury or death in an
accident.
Clean seat belt webbing only with mild
soap or detergent solution and rinse it
with lukewarm water, and dry the seat
belt webbing completely before retracting
it.
Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) - airbag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-
bags for the driver and passengers.
The SRS front airbags are designed to supple-
ment the primary protection of the driver and
front passenger seat belt systems by provid-
ing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate to
severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air-
bags, together with sensors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the front
seats, form an advanced airbag system.
The SRS driver's knee airbag is designed to
supplement the primary protection of the
driver's seat belt system. It can reduce the
forward movement of the driver's lower legs
and provide increased overall body protection
in certain moderate to severe frontal colli-
sions.
The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags
are also designed to supplement the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest
injuries by deploying the bag on the side
impacted in moderate to severe side impact
collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide

the driver and the passengers on the front seat
and the rear outboard seats with protection
against head injuries by deploying the curtain

severe side impact collisions and by deploy-
ing both curtain airbags when a rollover is
detected. The curtain airbags are also
designed to help reduce the risk of complete
and partial ejection from the vehicle through
side windows in both side impact and roll-
over type accidents.
The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use
of the seat belts. For maximum protection in
all types of accidents, seat belts must
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or
rides in this vehicle (with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, and older children buck-
led in the rear seat). Refer to "Child restraint
systems" on page 4-25.
