The information written in tliis supplemen tal restraint system (SRS) section con tains important points conceming ttie driver and front passenger air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts. The SRS a ir bags are designed to supple ment the primary protection of the driver and front passenger side seat belt sys tems by providing those occupants with protection against head and chest inju ries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions. The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for maximum protection in all types of crashes and accidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle. (With infants and small children in child restraints and older children buckled in the rear seat).

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIR BAG. (1) Seat belts help keep the dr iver and front passertger prdperly positioned, which reduces ihjury risk lr> an collisions, and reduces tire risk of serious o r fatal li>|u^ ries when th e air bags inflate. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unre strained or Improp erly restrained driver or fron t passerig^r can move forward Into direct con tact with o r within close proxTrnity to the air bag which may then deploy during t he collision. The Initial stage of air bag infla tion Is the most forceful which could cause serious or fatal Inju ries if the occupant contacts it at this stage. (2) Seat belts reduc e the risk of injury In roll-overs, side or rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions, because driver’s and passen ger's air bags ate not designed to mflate in those situations.

Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always properly wear you r seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of a ir bag deploy ment. The initial stage of air bag inflation is the most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection in a col lision. The SFIS (Supplemental Restraint System) air bags are designed to provide additional protection.

Seat and seat belts When the impact sensors detect an impact of sufficient frontal force, an automated cir cuit ignites materials in the inflator to gen erate gas and inflate the air bags, The air bag deployment produces a sud den, loud noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but these conditions are not injurious, 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 deployments, if safe to do so. The air bags deflate very rapidly after deployment, so there is little danger of obscured vision. The time required from the sensors detect ing an impact to deflation of the air bags after deployment is shorter than a blink of an eye.

Starting and driving Petrol/ethanol blends (vehicles for Malawi)
A
Blends of leaded petrol and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are com mercially available. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 20% eth a nol. Be sure the gasoline-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recom mended for petrol. Other petrol/alcohol blends Some fuel suppliers sell petrol/alcohol blends which are not clearly labeled as to the content o r type of alcohol. If you are not sure if there is alcohol in the petrol you buy, Check with the service station operator.
DO NOT USE petrols containing metha nol (methyl or wood alcohol), even if they contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibiters for methanol. Fuel system damage or ^vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels may not be cov ered under the new vehicle wananty
CAUTION ^
care not to spHI petrol duri ng refueling. Petrols containing alco‘^ no lian cause paint damage
Catalytic converter* For ordinary use, there are no particular precautions except that of using unleaded petrol. The exhaust gas scavenging device with catalytic converter is extremely efficient for the reduction of noxious gases. The cata lytic converter is installed in the exhaust system. It is important to keep the engine prop erly tuned to ensure proper catalyst opera tion and prevent possible catalyst damage.
»CAUTION
Damage to the catalytic convert! can result jf y ou r vehicle is not ke| In prop er operating cond itio n.

(8) Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, o r that there is unnecessary engine rotation, or any other engine trouble, such as with the ignition, etc. If it is impractical to stop driving imme diately, reduce the speed an d drive for only a short time. Have an inspection made by your nearest authorized H4ITSUBISHI dea ler as soon as possible. (9) In unusual situations involving grossly malfunctioning engine operation, a burnt smell may indicate severe and abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs, the vehicle should be stopped in a safe place, the engine switched off and the vehicle allowed to cool. Once the engine is cool, a ser vice, including a tune-up to manufac turer's specifications, should be obtained immediately
Economical driving
ecisah
|
For econom ical driving, there are some ! technical requirements that have to be met. ; The prerequisite for low fuel consumption j is a properly adjusted engine. In order to f achieve longer life of the vehicle and the f most economical operation, have the ; vehicle sen/iced by an authorized IVIITSUB-1 ISHI dea ler at regular intervals in accor- ;; dance with the sen/ice standards. I Fuel economy and generation of exhaust t, gas and noise are highly influenced by per- ' sonal driving habits as well as the particu- J lar operating conditions. The follow ing * points should be obsereed in ord er to mini mize wear of brakes, tyres an d engine as well as to reduce environmental pollu tion. (1) Starting Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such operation will result in higher fuel consumption. (2) Shifting Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the high est gear possible.
starting and driving (3) City traffic Frequent starting and stopping increases tiie average fuel consump tion. Use roads witii smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high engine speeds. (4) Idling The vehicle consumes fuel even dur ing idling. Avoid extended idling when ever possible. (5) Speed The higher the vehicle speed, the more fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a signifi cant amount of fuel. (6) Tyre inflation pressure Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
(7) Load Do not drive with unnecess ary articles in the luggage compartment. Espe cially during city driving where fre quent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased w eight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consump tion. Also avoid driving with unneces sary luggage, etc., on the roof; the increased a ir resistance w ill increase more fuel consumption, (8) Cold engine starting Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine run ning. After the engine is started, com mence driving as soon as possible. (9) Air conditioning* The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption. On vehicles with an air conditioning with ECO-position, the use of this ECO-position will contribute to the most economical use of your air condition ing.

NOTE (1) To remove the key, push the key at the "ACC" position and keep it depressed until it is turned to the “LOCK” posi tion, and remove. (2) For vehicle s equippe d with an elec tronic immobilizer, to start the engine, the ID code which the transponder inside the key sends must match the one registered to the immobilizer com puter. (Refer to page 2-2)
(1) Do not remo ve the Ign itio n key from the ignition $witcli while drivin g. The steering w heel will be loc ked,icausing loss of control. (2) If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomecha nism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deterio rate. Also, power steering sys tem will not function and it will require greater m aiuial effort to operate the steering. (3) Do not leave the key in the “ ON" position for a long time when the engine Is not running; d oing so will c ause the battery to be dis charged. (4) Do not turn the key to the " S T A R T' p o s i t i o n w h e n t he engine is running; doing so could damage the starter motor.
How to lock and un lock the steer ing w heel aoiBGA To lock Remove the key at the “LOCK" position. Turn the steering wheel until it is locked. To unlock Turn the key to the "ACC" position whiie moving the steering wheel slightly.
