E00412300018
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the airbag ON-OFF switch, and turn
that to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of that airbag ON-
OFF switch.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn the igni-
tion to “ON” position. The front passenger’s airbag off
indicator lamp will stay on.
The airbag off indicator lamp should illuminate. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is now deactivated and will not deplay until
switched on again.
WARNING
!
● To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from the ignition switch
before operating an airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail-
ure to do so could adversely affect the airbag per-
formance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the airbag ON-
OFF switch after turning the ignition switch from
“ON” position to “LOCK” position.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the airbag.
• Always remove the key from an airbag ON-OFF
switch after operating that switch. Failure to do so
could lead to improper position of the airbag ON-
OFF switch.
• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch except when a rearward facing child
restraint system is fitted to the front passenger
seat.
• If the indicator does not come on when the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF,
do not fit a rearward facing child restraint system
to the front passenger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point.
• If the indicator remains on when the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not
allow anyone to sit on the front passenger seat. We
recommend you to have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Servic Point.
