Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000319
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the air bag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The air bag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front air
bag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front air bag will not deploy in an impact
when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approxi-
mately 66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger air bag
off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger air bag off indicator” on page 2-43.
If there is a problem involving the passenger seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light” on page 2-44.
WARNING

● If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as pos-
sible:

when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while you are
driving.
● To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s air bag system.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seat” on page 2-4.

the position where the seat does not come in con-
tact with the wind deflector. (ECLIPSE SPYDER
