PASSIVE SAFETY

M2000032000145

SRS AIR BAGS

Dual Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) front air 
bags deploy only upon detection of frontal impact.
For the passenger and driver seat airbags, an 
advanced airbag system has been employed that 
optimally controls the inflation sizes of the airbags in 
two steps in accordance with collision level and 
driver 

⋅

and passenger information detected.

When used in combination with the 3-point ELR seat 
belts, they significantly reduce head and upper torso 
injury to front-seat occupants.

The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simulta-
neously with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up 
seat slack immediately when a collision takes place 
by restraining the front passengers sooner than the 
SRS. This prevents the passengers from moving for-
ward.
In the case of side impact, the airbags concealed at 
the sides of the front seats instantly inflate. The side 
airbags soften blows to the front passengersWhether 
the pretensioner is activated or deactivated depends 
on the use of the seatbelt.

BODY CONSTRUCTION

.

A high-energy absorbing front and rear sidemember 
structure and high rigidity structure combination alle-
viates passenger injury, maintains cabin space and 
improves passenger rescue upon impact from all 
directions.

octagonal cross sections.

2. Dash brace reinforcement is used.
3. Dash panel crossmember upper is used.
4. High rigidity side sill outer reinforcement inner is 

used.

5. Large side sill reinforcement is used.

6. High rigidity side roof rail reinforcement rear is 

used.

7. Rear floor sidemember is straighter and has large 

cross section.

8. High rigidity rear floor crossmember is used.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

M2000027000194

Mitsubishi has given careful consideration to protec-
tion of natural resources and the environment in the 
vehicle. Environmentally friendly features are shown

SERVICEABILITY AND RELIABILITY

M2000028000197

MUT-III (Multi Use Tester-III)

Comprehensive improvements have been made to 
the MUT-II, a tester for diagnosing problems with the 
electronic control system. For easier servicing, the 
newly developed MUT-III has greatly improved func-
tions and is much easier to use. The MUT-III 
expands the functions of the MUT-II in the following 
ways:

1. Interactive Error Diagnosis

•

In response to the nature of the problem, the 
corresponding troubleshooting page from the 
maintenance manual is retrieved.

•

Service data is displayed, and from the actua-
tor test screen, the page of the maintenance 
manual is retrieved for a list of inspection ref-
erence values.

2. Service Manual Viewer

•

The new model guide and maintenance man-
ual can be displayed on a personal computer 
monitor.

3. CAN* bus diagnostics

•

Auto diagnosis function for the CAN commu-
nications bus line.

NOTE: *CAN: Controller Area Network (for further 
details, refer to Group 54C

P.54C-2

.)

ENHANCED DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

Diagnosis functions have been included for the fol-
lowing systems, so that it is possible to use the scan 
tool to read the diagnosis codes and service data 
and to carry out actuator tests. In addition, it is possi-
ble to read the diagnosis codes by the flashing of the 
warning light in some systems.
