In the event of a moderate to severe frontal impact where there is a risk of injury to the driver and/or front passenger, the pretensioner instantly retracts the seat belt, increasing its effectiveness. This system operates when the ignition key is in the «ON» or «START».
Attention! Any work on the installation of audio equipment or any work in the immediate vicinity of the pretensioner mechanism and the center console should only be carried out by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. Doing such work yourself can lead to a malfunction of the pre-tensioning system of seat belts.
Note. The seat belt pretensioners will deploy in any severe frontal impact, even if the seat belt is not fastened.
Note. Seat belt pretensioners are designed for single use. Once the seat belt pretensioners have been activated, they must be replaced immediately by an Authorized MITSUBISHI Dealer.
SRS warning lamp (airbag systems)
The SRS warning light also indicates the condition of the pretensioner seat belts.
Seat Belt Pretensioner Service
This system should be checked by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer after 10 years from the date of manufacture of the vehicle.
Jerk force limiter
In the event of a collision, the restraint effectively absorbs some of the force transmitted to the seat belt so as to minimize the impact of an unbelted occupant.
