Curtain Airbag System - Mitsubishi MIRAGE Service Manual

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail.
The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only
4
on the side of the vehicle that is impacted,
even with no passenger in the seat.
WARNING
 The side airbags and curtain airbags 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 airbag, 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 around the area
where the side airbags deploy. 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.

WARNING
 Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other object around the part where the
curtain airbag deploys, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front and
rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates, the microphone or
other object may be hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate
correctly, resulting in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
 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.
