Mitsubishi ASX (2018 year). Manual

WARNING

Do not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.

Do  not  attach  additional  keys  or  accesso-
ries  (hard,  pointed  or  heavy  objects)  to
the  ignition  key.  Such  objects  could  pre-
vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat-
ing  normally  or  could  be  propelled  and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.

Do  not  attach  accessories  to  the  lower
portion  of  the  driver’s  side  instrument
panel.  Such  objects  could  prevent  the
driver’s  knee  airbag  from  inflating  nor-
mally or could be propelled and cause se-
rious injury if the airbag inflates.

WARNING

Do not put packages, pets or other objects
between the airbags and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.

Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.

The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly  once.  Once  the  airbags  have  deployed,
they  will  not  work  again.  They  must
promptly be replaced, and we recommend
you  to  have  the  entire  airbag  system  in-
spected  by  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

Side airbag system*

E00407600303

The side airbags (A) are contained in the
driver and front passenger seatbacks.

The side airbag is designed to inflate only on
the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even
with no passenger in the front seat.

The label shown here is attached to the seat-
backs with a side airbag.

Curtain airbag system*

E00409100559

The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve-
hicle that is impacted, even with no passen-
ger in the front seat or rear seat.

Deployment of side airbags and

curtain airbags

E00407701415

The side airbags and curtain

airbags ARE DESIGNED TO

DEPLOY when…

The side airbags and curtain airbags are de-
signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate-to-severe side impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment.

The typical condition is shown in the illustra-
tion.

The  seat  belts  in  your  vehicle  are  your  pri-
mary means of protection in a collision. The
SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are de-
signed  to  provide  additional  protection.
Therefore,  for  your  safety  and  the  safety  of
all  occupants,  be  sure  to  always  properly
wear your seat belts.

The side airbags and curtain

airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY

when…

With certain types of side collisions, the ve-
hicle’s  body  structure  is  designed  to  absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from
harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-
form  significantly  as  it  absorbs  the  impact.)
Under  such  circumstances,  the  side  airbags
and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-
tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle  body.  Also,  depending  on  the  location
of the impact, the side airbags and curtain air-
bags may not deploy simultaneously.
Examples  of  some  typical  conditions  are
shown in the illustration.

1- Side impacts in an area away from the

passenger compartment

2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehi-

cle collides with the side of vehicle

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag

4-33

OGAE18E1

Seat and seat belts

3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other

narrow object

4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

Because  the  side  airbags  and  curtain  airbags
do  not  protect  the  occupant  in  all  types  of
side  collisions,  be  sure  to  always  properly
wear your seat belts.

The side airbags and curtain

airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED

TO DEPLOY when…

The  side  airbags  and  curtain  airbags  are  not
designed  to  deploy  in  conditions  where  they
cannot  usually  provide  protection  to  the  oc-
cupant.  Typical  conditions  are  shown  in  the
illustration.

1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions

Because  the  side  airbags  and  curtain  airbags
do  not  protect  the  occupant  in  all  types  of
collisions,  be  sure  to  always  properly  wear
your seat belts.

WARNING

The  side  airbags  and  curtain  airbags  are
designed  to  supplement  the  driver  and
passenger  seat  belts  in  certain  side  im-
pacts.  Seat  belts  should  always  be  worn
properly,  and  the  driver  and  passenger
should  sit  well  back  and  upright  without
leaning against the window or door.

The  side  airbags  and  curtain  airbags  in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger  should  not  put  their  arms  out  the
window,  and  should  not  lean  against  the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible  fatal  injury  from  the  deploying
side airbags and curtain airbags.

Seat and seat belts

WARNING

Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from the
deploying side airbags. Special care
should be taken with children.

Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.

Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.

Do  not  install  seat  covers  on  seats  with
side  airbags.  Do  not  re-cover  seats  that
have  side  airbags.  This  could  interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.

Do  not  attach  a  microphone  (A)  or  any
other  device  or  object  around  the  part
where  the  curtain  airbags  (B)  activate
such as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or as-
sist  grips.  When  the  curtain  airbags  in-
flate,  the  microphone  or  other  device  or
object  will  be  hurled  with  great  force  or
the  curtain  airbags  may  not  activate  cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook. If the curtain
airbag was activated, any such item could
be  propelled  away  with  great  force  and
could prevent the curtain airbag from in-
flating 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  rearward  facing  child  re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be used
in  the  rear  seat  whenever  possible.  If  a
forward  facing  child  restraint  must  be
used  in  the  front  passenger  seat,  adjust
the  seat  to  the  most  rearward  position,
and ensure that the child stays in the child
restraint and away from the door.

WARNING

Do  not  allow  a  child  to  lean  against  or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be leaned
against  or  be  close  to  the  area  where  the
side airbags and curtain airbags are loca-
ted. It is dangerous if the side airbags and
curtain airbags inflate.
Failure  to  follow  all  of  these  instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.

We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system to
be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

Warning lamp

Warning display type 1

Warning display type 2

The system checks itself every time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position or
the  operation  mode  is  put  in  ON.  The  SRS
warning  lamp  will  come  on  for  several  sec-
onds  and  then  go  out.  This  is  normal  and
means the system is working properly.

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  informa-
tion screen in the multi-information display.
The  SRS  warning  lamp/display  is  shared  by
the SRS airbag and the seat belt pretensioner
system.

WARNING

If  any  of  the  following  conditions  occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS air-
bags  and/or  seat  belt  pretensioners,  and
they may not function properly in a colli-
sion  or  may  suddenly  activate  without  a
collision:

•

Even  when  the  ignition  switch  or  the
operation  mode  is  in  ON,  the  SRS
warning  lamp  does  not  come  on  or  it
remains on.

•

The SRS warning lamp and/or the
warning display comes on while driv-
ing.

The SRS airbags and seat belt pretension-
ers are designed to help reduce the risk of
serious  injury  or  death  in  certain  colli-
sions. If either of the above conditions oc-
curs,  immediately  have  your  vehicle
checked  by  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

SRS servicing

E00407901521

WARNING

We  recommend  any  maintenance  per-
formed on or near the components of the
SRS  to  be  performed  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper  work  on  the  SRS  components
or  wiring  could  result  in  inadvertent  de-
ployment  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  ad-
versely  affect  SRS  performance  and  lead
to possible injury.

If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we recommend you to have the SRS in-
spected to ensure it is in proper working
order.
