WARNING
l
We recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col-
lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
l
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l
Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.
WARNING
l
Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi-
tion, do not modify, remove or install the
seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not
be able to provide adequate protection in
a collision or other situation.
l
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.
Supplemental restraint
system (SRS) - airbag
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s
and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s
knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS airbags are designed to supplement
the primary protection of the driver and front
passenger side seat belt systems by providing
those occupants with protection against head
and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip-
ped) 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 collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger with protection against chest and abdo-
men injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger
with protection against head injuries in cer-
tain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.
