Safety
2008 Eclipse Spyder
Sometimes the things that make a high-performance car are the same things that make it a safe car. A rigid platform. An advanced anti-lock braking system. A sure-footed, nimble-handling vehicle. An advanced airbag system. Eclipse Spyder is a unique vehicle that satisfies both your driving passions and your safety* needs.
Advanced Airbag System
The Eclipse Spyder offers an advanced front airbag† safety system with front seat mounted side-impact airbags† for the driver and front seat passenger. All are standard and each was positioned based on crash testing. The result is a convertible that helps maximize occupant safety.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
The ABS technology with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) used by the 2008 Eclipse Spyder helps to eliminate wheel lock-up during panic or emergency braking. The system provides ample stopping power and active safety. At Mitsubishi we take active safety very seriously. We’ve included a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) as standard equipment on every Eclipse Spyder. Properly inflated tires give you better control, sure. But they also return better gas mileage and help prevent blowouts. It’s one more way that performance and safety go hand in hand.
Reinforced Chassis
The Eclipse Spyder 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.
Traction Control System (TCL)
Eclipse GT’s power is managed by Mitsubishi’s high tech TCL system. TCL comes standard with a V6 and modulates the throttle and brakes to ensure more sure-footed acceleration in a straight line, through a curve and even on low-traction surfaces.
Seatbelts and Pretensioners
Every Mitsubishi is equipped with a three-point seatbelt 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 Spyder.Lower anchors in the Spyder rear seat help simplify the attachment of child safety seats; making it easier for you to help keep your child safe.
