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 near or around
the front of either front seatback. 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.
 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.
 Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other object around the part where the
curtain airbag (B) deploys, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front and
rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflate, 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 put a hanger or any heavy or
pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur-
tain airbag was activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force
and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly
on the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp
objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
 Never install a rear-facing child restraint
system in the front passenger seat. Rear-
facing child restraint systems MUST
ONLY be used in the rear seat.
 Front-facing child restraint systems
should also be used ONLY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system
must be used in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible, and
make sure that the child stays in the child
restraint system, properly restrained and
away from the door.
 Do not allow a child to lean against or sit
close to the passenger door, even if the
child is seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not lean
against or be close to the section of the
seatback where the side airbag and cur-
tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if
the side airbag and curtain airbag
deploys. Failure to follow all of these
instructions could lead to serious injury or
death to the child.
 Work done on or in the vicinity of the side
airbag and curtain airbag system compo-
nents should be done only by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Improper
work methods can cause accidental side
airbag and curtain airbag deployment, or
render a side airbag and curtain airbag
inoperable. Either of these situations can
result in serious injury or death.
