short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
 How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
 Whether or not the driver and front pas-
senger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driv-
ing conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves-
tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Driver's seat position sensor
The driver's seat position sensor is attached
to the seat rail and provides the airbag control
unit with information on the seat's fore-aft
position. The airbag control unit controls
deployment of the driver's front airbag in
accordance with the information it receives
from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver's
seat position sensor, the SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
"SRS warning light/display" on page 4-39.
WARNING
 If the SRS warning light or warning dis-
play comes on, have the vehicle inspected
by a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer as
soon as possible.
 Please observe the following instructions
to ensure that the driver's seat position
sensor can operate correctly.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position,
and sit well back against the seatback.
Refer to "Front seats" on page 4-4.

possible.
Passenger's seat occupant clas-
sification sensor system
The passenger's seat occupant classification
sensor system is attached to the front passen-
ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con-
trol unit with information regarding the
occupant on the front passenger seat. The air-
bag control unit controls deployment of the
passenger's front airbag in accordance with
the information it receives from this system.
The passenger's front airbag will not deploy
in an impact when the system senses no occu-
pant on the front passenger's seat or a child in
a child restraint system. In this case, the pas-
senger airbag off indicator will come on.
Refer to "Passenger's airbag off indicator" on
page 4-38.
