Front Passenger's Airbag On-Off Switch; Supplemental Restraint System Works - Mitsubishi Colt Owner's Manual

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407301583
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger's airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)

4- Front passenger's airbag ON-OFF switch

5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the "ON" or "START" position.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate 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.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.
CAUTION
l Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.

be sure to turn OFF the front passenger's airbag
ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer to "To turn
an airbag off" on page 2-26.)
