WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES

WARNING
• Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver and
passenger (from rendering the SRS inoperative).
• Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
• MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any
SRS-related component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS air bag control unit, SRS warning light, front impact sensors, air bag module,
side-airbag module, curtain air bag module, side impact sensors, seat belt pre-tensioners, clock spring, and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance)
are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).
32-2 POWER PLANT MOUNT
GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
For the power plant support, the inertial axis
four-point mounting system is adopted, and the sys-
tem has the following features.
• For the engine and transaxle mounting insulator,
the cylindrical liquid seal mountings are adopted.
This reduces idling vibration and acceleration
noise, and improves riding comfort.
• For the engine mounting bracket, lightweight and
high rigidity aluminium is adopted to reduce
acceleration noise.
M1321000101729
• For the transaxle mounting bracket, light weight
and high rigidity sheet metal is adopted to reduce
gear noise.
• There are roll stoppers at front and rear. They
help reduce vibration when the engine is idling
and shock during acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle.
• The front axle crossmember has been fully flat-
tened to improve steering ability.

CAUTION
• Before removing the driver's air bag module and steering wheel assembly, refer to GROUP 52B −
Service Precautions P.52B-24 and Driver's Air Bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-375. Position
the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position. If you fail to do this, clock spring for SRS may
get damage not to operate the SRS (air bag), and it may cause the serious injury of the driver.
• The parts indicated by * are the bolts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is
no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the
