Mitsubishi ASX (2018 year). Manual

Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)

Front passenger’s
airbag ON

WARNING

A  REARWARD  FACING  CHILD  RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of
an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious  injuries  to  the  child.  A  rearward
facing  child  restraint  should  be  used  in
the rear seat.

A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front
seat, turn off the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch.

Infants and small children

E00406600609

When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.

Instruction:

For  small  infants,  an  infant  carrier
should  be  used.  For  small  children
whose  height  when  seated  allows  the
shoulder  belt  to  lie  in  contact  with  the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.

The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate  for  the  child’s  weight  and
height  and  properly  fit  in  the  vehicle.
For  a  higher  degree  of  safety:  THE
CHILD

RESTRAINT

SYSTEM

SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE
REAR SEAT.

NOTE

Before  purchasing  a  child  restraint  system,
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure
there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the  seat  belt  buckles  and  the  shape  of  the
seat  cushion,  it  may  be  difficult  to  securely
install  some  manufacturer’s  child  restraint
systems.
If  the  child  restraint  system  can  be  pulled
forward  or  to  either  side  easily  on  the  seat
cushion  after  the  seat  belt  has  been  tight-
ened,  choose  another  manufacturer’s  child
restraint system.

WARNING

When  installing  a  child  restraint  system,
refer  to  the  instructions  provided  by  the
manufacturer  of  the  restraint  system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-
tal injury to the child.

After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to  side,  to  see  that  it  is  properly  secured.
If  the  child  restraint  system  is  not  instal-
led  securely,  it  may  cause  injury  to  the
child or other occupants in the case of ac-
cident or sudden stops.

When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.

Seat and seat belts

Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be
attached using one of the following two
locations:

• To the lower anchorage in the rear

seat ONLY if the child restraint has
ISOFIX mountings (See page 4-18).

• To the seat belt (See pages 4-09,

4-23).

Older children

E00406700277

Children  who  have  outgrown  the  child  re-
straint  system  should  be  seated  in  the  rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The  lap  portion  of  the  belt  should  be  snug
and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is  below  the  top  of  the  hip-bone.  Otherwise,
the  belt  could  intrude  into  the  child’s  abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.

Lower anchorage location

Your vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with lower
anchorages for attaching a child restraint sys-
tem with ISOFIX mountings.

Tether anchorage locations

There  are  2  child  restraint  anchorage  points
located  on  the  back  of  the  rear  seatbacks.
These  are  for  fastening  the  child  restraint
tether  straps  to  the  2  rear  seat  seating  posi-
tions.

WARNING

Child  restraint  anchorages  are  designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances  are  they  to  be  used  for
adult  seat  belts,  harnesses,  or  for  attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehi-
cle.

Child restraint system with

The  locking  clip  must  be  removed  when
the child restraint is removed.

Seat belt inspection

E00406301876

Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.

WARNING

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.

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.

Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.

WARNING

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.

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

E00407201944

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.

Seat belt inspection

4-24

OGAE18E1

Seat and seat belts

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.

The  SRS  is  NOT  a  substitute  for  the  seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing  all  types  of  collisions  and  accidents,  all
occupants,  including  the  passengers  as  well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.

How the Supplemental Re-

straint System works

E00407302883

The SRS includes the following components:

1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication

lamp*

3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Driver’s knee airbag module*
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF

switch*

6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules*

Only  when  the  ignition  switch  or  the  opera-
tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except  for  vehicles  equipped  with  keyless
operation system]
The  ignition  switch  is  in  the  “ON”  or
“START” position.
[Vehicles  equipped  with  keyless  operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
The  airbags  deployment  produces  a  sudden,
loud  noise,  and  releases  some  smoke  and
powder,  but  these  conditions  are  not  injuri-
ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People  with  respiratory  problems  may  feel
some  temporary  irritation  from  chemicals
used  to  produce  the  deployment;  open  the
windows  after  airbag  deployment,  if  safe  to
do so.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag

4-25

OGAE18E1

Seat and seat belts

The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.

CAUTION

Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, and
the like.

WARNING

IT  IS  VERY  IMPORTANT  TO  BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A  driver  or  front  passenger  too  close  to
the  steering  wheel  or  instrument  panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags  inflate  very  fast,  and  with  great
force.
If  the  driver  and  front  passenger  are  not
properly  seated  and  restrained,  the  air-
bags  may  not  protect  you  properly,  and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates.

Do  not  sit  on  the  edge  of  the  seat  or  sit
with  your  lower  legs  too  close  to  the  in-
strument  panel,  or  lean  head  or  chest
close  to  the  steering  wheel  or  instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.

WARNING

Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.

WARNING

Infants  and  small  children  should  never
be  unrestrained,  stand  up  against  the  in-
strument panel or be held in your arms or
on  your  lap.  They  could  be  seriously  in-
jured  or  killed  in  a  collision,  including
when  the  airbag  inflates.  They  should  be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate  child  restraint  system.  See  the
“Child  restraint”  section  of  this  owner’s
manual.

Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)

WARNING

A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of
an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child.
A rearward facing child restraint should
be used in the rear seat.

A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if they must be used in
the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail-
ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child.

Older  children  should  be  seated  in  the
rear  seat,  properly  wearing  the  seat  belt,
with  an  appropriate  booster  seat  if  nee-
ded.

or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes
off a few seconds later.
When  the  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF
switch  is  turned  OFF,  the  indication  lamp
will  stay  on  to  show  that  the  front  passen-
ger’s  airbag  is  not  operational.  When  the
front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF  switch  is
turned  ON,  the  indication  lamp  goes  off  to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is op-
erational.

WARNING

Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the
status of the passenger airbag system.

Deployment of front airbags

and driver’s knee airbag

E00407501644

The front airbags and driver’s

knee airbag ARE DESIGNED

TO DEPLOY when…

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe frontal impact. Examples
of some typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.

1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a

speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher

2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with-

in the shaded area between the arrows

The  front  airbags  and  driver’s  knee  airbag
will  deploy  if  the  severity  of  the  impact  is
above the designed threshold level, compara-
ble  to  a  collision  at  approximately  25  km/h
(16 mph) when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the se-
verity  of  the  impact  is  below  the  above
threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s
knee  airbag  may  not  deploy.  However,  this
threshold speed will be considerably higher if
the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the
impact  by  either  deforming  or  moving  (for
example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because  frontal  collisions  can  easily  move
you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts
will  help  keep  you  a  safe  distance  from  the
steering  wheel  and  instrument  panel  during
the  initial  stages  of  airbag  deployment.  The
initial  stage  of  airbag  inflation  is  the  most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-
tal  injuries.  Moreover,  the  seat  belts  in  your
vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed
to  provide  additional  protection.  Therefore,
for  your  safety  and  the  safety  of  all  occu-
pants,  be  sure  to  always  properly  wear  your
seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s

knee airbag MAY NOT DE-

PLOY when…

With  certain  types  of  frontal  collisions,  the
vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from
harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-
form  significantly  as  it  absorbs  the  impact.)
Under  such  circumstances,  the  front  airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre-
spective  of  the  deformation  and  damage  to
the vehicle body.
Examples  of  some  typical  conditions  are
shown in the illustration.

1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other

narrow object

2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a

truck

3- Oblique frontal impacts

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag

4-30

OGAE18E1

Seat and seat belts

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s

knee airbag ARE NOT DE-

SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
not designed to deploy in conditions where
they cannot typically provide protection to
the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.

1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of collisions, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s

knee airbag MAY DEPLOY

when…

The  front  airbags  and  driver’s  knee  airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-
fers  a  moderate-to-severe  impact  (undercar-
riage damage).
Examples  of  some  typical  conditions  are
shown in the illustration.

1- Collision with an elevated median/island

or kerb

2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and

hits the ground

Because  the  front  airbags  and  driver’s  knee
airbag  may  deploy  in  certain  types  of  unex-
pected  impacts  as  shown  in  the  illustration
that can easily move you out of position, it is
important  to  always  properly  wear  your  seat
belts.  Your  seat  belts  will  help  keep  you  a
safe distance from the steering wheel and in-
strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag  deployment.  The  initial  stage  of  airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.

WARNING

Do  not  attach  anything  to  the  steering
wheel’s  padded  cover,  such  as  badges  or
accessories.  It  might  strike  and  injure  an
occupant if the airbag inflates.

Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove
box. It might strike and injure an occu-
pant if the airbag inflates.
