Warning lamp
Warning display
There is a supplemental restraint system
(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument
panel. The system checks itself every time the
operation mode of the power switch is put in
ON. The SRS warning lamp will come on for
several seconds and then go out. This is nor-
mal and means the system is working prop-
erly.
If there is a problem involving one or more of
the SRS components, the warning lamp will
come on and stay on.
At the same time, the warning display will
appear on the information screen in the
instrument cluster.
The SRS warning lamp/display is shared by
the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner
system.

The airbag system is designed to work
only once. Once the airbags have
deployed, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and the entire
airbag system must be inspected by an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer
.
SRS warning lamp/display
If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS air-
bags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners, and
they may not function properly in a colli-
sion or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
• Even when the operation mode of the
power switch is in ON, the SRS warning
lamp does not come on or it remains on.
• The SRS warning lamp and/or the warn-
ing display comes on while driving.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pre-ten-
sioners are designed to help reduce the
risk of serious injury or death in certain
collisions.
If either of the above conditions occurs,
immediately have your vehicle checked by
an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer.
SRS servicing
Any maintenance performed on or near
the components of the SRS must be per-
formed only by an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer. Do not
permit anyone else to do service, inspec-
tion, maintenance or repair on any SRS
components or wiring; similarly, no part
of the SRS should ever be handled or dis-
posed of by anyone except an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
Improper work on the SRS components or
wiring could result in inadvertent deploy-
ment of the airbags, or could render the
SRS inoperative; either situation could
result in serious injury.
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
belt retractor or any other SRS compo-
nents. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can
adversely affect SRS performance and
lead to possible injury.
If your vehicle has received any damage,
you should have the SRS inspected by an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer to ensure it is in proper working
order.
