Side Airbag System - Mitsubishi ASX 2019 Owner's Manual

Because the front airbags and driver's knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex-
pected impacts as shown in the illustration
that can easily move you out of position, it is
important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a
safe distance from the steering wheel and in-
strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.
WARNING
l
Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel's padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove
box. It might strike and injure an occu-
pant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
l Do not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver's knee airbag from inflat-
ing normally or could be propelled and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
l Do not attach accessories to the lower por-
tion of the driver's side instrument panel.
Such objects could prevent the driver's
knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled and cause serious in-
jury if the airbag inflates.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
WARNING
l Do not put packages, pets or other objects
between the airbags and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag per-
formance, or could cause injury when the
airbag inflates.
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
l The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recommend
you to have the entire airbag system in-
spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
