WA R N I N G Persons who are unable to feel tempera- ture change or skin pain due to age, ill- ness, injury, medication, alcohol use,fatigue or other physical conditions or who have sensitive skin may suffer burns when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the seat heaters when not in use. Operate the heaters at high for quick heating. After the seat has become warm, set theheater to low to keep it warm. Slight varia- tions in the seat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is causedby the operation of the heater’s internal ther- mostat and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed objectsinto the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while using the heater; doing so can cause the heater ele- ment to overheat.
 When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other
liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunc- tioning during use.

Seat belts
WA R N I N G To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident, seat belts and child restraint systems must always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page4-13 for additional information. Never use one seat belt for more than one person.  Never carry more people in your vehicle than there are seat belts. Always adjust the seat
belt for a snug fit.
Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.  Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across your hips, not around your waist. Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle. To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death during deployment of the driver’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the driver’s seat as farback as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily control the steering wheel,and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to a front seat passen- ger of serious injury or death from a deploying airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat belt properly,remains seated all the way back and upright in their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen-tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-21 for additional information. Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle even when you are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or child.Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the event of an accident orsudden stop.WA R N I N G
 Children 12 years old and under should always ride in the rear seat and be prop- erly restrained. This reduces their risk of serious injury or death in an accident, especially due to a deploying front passen-ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint sys- tems” on page 4-13 for additional information. Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properlyrestrained in an appropriate child restraint system. Children 12 years old and under should be se
ated only in the
rear seat to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident, especially from the deployment of a front passengerairbag. Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat and positioned in the rear seat. In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.

This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation. A sensing deviceinside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change in the vehicle’s motion. 1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-21. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-3.
2. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it easily pulls across your body.
3. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate. Push the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click”. Pullup on the belt to be sure the latch plate is locked securely in the buckle.
NOTE
 For instructions on installing a child restraint system using a seat belt, refer to “Installing achild restraint system using the seat belt” on page 4-18.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned against the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
