2011 Eclipse

Sometimes the things that make a high-performance car are the same things that make a safer car. A rigid platform. An advanced anti-lock braking system. A sure-footed, nimble-handling vehicle. An advanced airbag system. Eclipse is a unique vehicle that satisfies both your driving passions and your safety* needs.

Advanced Airbag System*

Eclipse's six-airbag safety system includes advanced front SRS airbags†, front-seat-mounted side-impact airbags and side-curtain airbags for front seat occupants. All are standard and each was carefully positioned based on extensive crash testing and simulation.

Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)†

The ABS technology used by the Eclipse helps to eliminate wheel lock-up during panic or emergency braking. Wheel speed is monitored and braking pressure is optimized when impending wheel lock-up is sensed. The system “pulses” the brakes up to 10 times per second, modulating wheel rotation to help eliminate lock-up and maximize driver control.

Reinforced Chassis

The Eclipse platform is reinforced in key locations using high-strength steel. Additional cross members in the dash area, cabin floor and roof help maintain cabin rigidity in the event of a side collision. The side sills are then reinforced, along with front and rear sub-frame components, which help minimize deformation due to an offset front impact.

Active Stability Control (ASC)†

Standard on all Eclipse models, Active Stability Control (ASC)† helps by working with the ABS system and engine management to manage power delivery to the front wheels. Together they help keep Eclipse on the driver’s intended path in challenging driving conditions.

LATCH System

Lower anchors in the Eclipse rear seat help simplify the attachment of child safety seats, making it easier for you to help keep your child safe.

Seatbelts and Pretensioners†

Every Mitsubishi is equipped with three-point seatbelts and head restraints, plus front seatbelt pretensioners that are designed to help tighten the belts in certain frontal impacts so the seatbelts can better do their job. Seatbelt force limiters that help the front seatbelts and airbags† work together optimally are also standard on every Eclipse.

It just makes sense: Our vehicles are different than any on the road, so why shouldn’t our warranties be a cut above as well? At Mitsubishi, we’re so confident in the quality, reliability and durability of the Eclipse that we back it with one of the best Powertrain Limited Warranties in the business: 10 years or 100,000 miles. It’s just one in a number of extensive warranties that come with Eclipse—a list that includes a 5-year/60,000-mile fully transferable New Vehicle Limited Warranty, a 7-year/100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation Limited Warranty and 5 years/unlimited miles Roadside Assistance. All designed to give drivers the security of knowing that their Eclipse is engineered for the long-term, with a limited warranty designed to keep it on the road long into the future. (Excludes Lancer Evolution, Lancer Ralliart, and Lancer Sportback.)
