While it may look like a fun, affordable and sensible car, our engineers treated it like a luxury car. Translation? The 2005 Mirage Sedan offers a full-range of safety features.
Anchors are positioned where children should always ride in the rear seat. Built into the speaker shelf behind the rear seat are strong anchor points for the ring-like attachments that secure the tether strap from your child's safety seat. The child tether strap is standard with most child seats or usually can be purchased from the child safety seat's manufacturer. In the event of an accident, child seat tethers are designed to hold the child safety seat tightly and reduce forward movement of a child's head. Please consult your 2005 MY Mitsubishi Owner's Manual and child safety seat manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
The two rear doors are equipped with a lock-out switch to prevent the doors from being opened inadvertently from inside the vehicle. By activating this feature with a simple toggle switch on the door frame, rear doors can be opened only from the outside, allowing you to worry less about those seated in the back opening a door when they shouldn't.
As part of the safety cage in the 2005 Mirage Sedan, side-guard door beams offer an additional line of defense in a collision. Working with interior door padding, side-guard door beams are designed to resist intrusion into the cabin. They also act to direct crash energy into the safety cage structure and away from the driver and passengers.
Front air bags are designed to work in conjunction with the 3-point safety belts to provide additional protection in certain frontal collisions.
The front and rear body sections of the Mirage Sedan are designed to absorb energy in a collision. In addition, the passengers are surrounded by a rigid steel cage that forms a solid perimeter around the cabin. From the base of the windshield to the rear axle, the safety cage is designed to resist deformation while also channeling crash energy away from the passengers.
