Seat adjustment
E00400300271
Adjust
the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision. WARNING
l Do
not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with
seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that
all occupants are sitting in their seats and
wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined. CAUTION
l
Make
sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be care-
ful not to catch your hand or foot. Front seat

Heated seats*
E00401101055
The
heated seats can be operated with the ignition
switch or the operation mode in ON. The indica-
tion lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on. 1 (HI) - Heater high (for quick heating).
2 - Heater off.
3 (LO) - Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate

in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot CAUTION
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
•

Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alco-
hol or other organic solvents when clean-
ing the seats. Doing so could damage not
only the seat cover, but also the heater el-
ement.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Rear seat
E00401300412 WARNING
l When
a person sits in the rear seat, pull
up the head restraint to a height at which
it locks in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Seri-
ous injuries could otherwise be suffered
as the result of an impact.
Armrest* E00401700650
To use the armrest, fold it down.
To

return to the original position, push it backward
level with the seat. NOTE
l Do

not climb or sit on the armrest. Doing so
could damage the armrest.
l The top surface of the armrest contains a cup
holder for rear seat occupants.
Refer to “Cup holder” on page 5-68. Seat and seat belts

Armrest through lid*
E00414600028
Open
the lid to gain access to the luggage compart-
ment from the cabin. This feature is useful for car-
rying long objects while accommodating 2 passen-
gers in the rear seats.
Fold down the armrest. Then slide the knob (A)
down while pulling it forward to open the lid. Head restraints
E00403301439 WARNING
l Driving
without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust
the head restraint height so that the centre
of the head restraint is as close as possible to eye
level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint
to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the re-
straint as high as possible. To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er

the restraint, move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked. To remove
To

remove the head restraints, lift the head re-
straint with the height adjusting knob (A) pushed in. Seat and seat belts

Installation
To
install the head restraints, first confirm that they
are facing the correct direction, and then insert
them into the seatback while pressing the height ad-
justing knob (A) in the direction indicated by the ar-
row. CAUTION
l
Confirm
that the height adjusting knob
(A) is correctly adjusted as shown in the
illustration, and also lift the head re-
straints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback. CAUTION
l
The
head restraints for the seats differ in
shape and size. When installing head re-
straints, make sure the head restraints
are fitted in their respective seats and do
not install the head restraints in the
wrong direction. Making a luggage compartment
E00403400231 WARNING
l When
making a luggage compartment,
never arrange the seats while the vehicle
is being driven or is on an incline. The
seats could move unexpectedly or more
than required and cause a serious accident.
l If required, always operate the seating be-
fore the vehicle is in motion.
l Do not allow anyone to ride in the lug-
gage compartment while the vehicle is in
motion. People who are not properly seat-
ed and restrained can be seriously in-
jured or killed in an accident.
l The luggage compartment in the rear of
the vehicle should never be used as a play
area by children.
Children should be seated with seat belts
fastened when the vehicle is in motion.
l Confirm that the seatback locks securely
when it is returned. CAUTION
l
Do
not stack luggage in the vehicle higher
than the seatback height. Also, firmly se-
cure the luggage.
Serious accidents could result due to un-
restrained objects entering the passenger
compartment during sudden braking.
l Make sure that the seat is operated by an
adult. If it is operated by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur. Seat and seat belts

Installing a child restraint system to
the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child re-
straint mountings) and tether anchor-
age
E00406900774
Lower anchorage location
Your
vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with lower ancho-
rages for attaching a child restraint system with ISO-
FIX mountings. Tether anchorage locations
There
are 2 child restraint anchorage points located
on the back of the rear seatbacks. These are for fas-
tening the child restraint tether straps to the 2 rear
seat seating positions. WARNING
l Child
restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Child restraint system with ISOFIX mountings
The
child restraint system is designed only for
seats that incorporate lower anchorages. Retain the
child restraint system using the lower anchorages. It is not necessary to retain the child restraint sys-
tem using the vehicle’s seat belts.
A- Child restraint system connectors
To install 1. Remove

any foreign material in or around
the connectors and ensure the vehicle seat
belt is in its normal storage position.
2. Open the gap a little between the seat cush- ion (A) and the seatback (B) with your hand
to locate the lower anchorages (C).
3. Push the child restraint system’s connectors (D) into the lower anchorages (C) in accord-
ance with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system’s manufacturer. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbags and curtain airbags. WARNING
l Do
not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbags. Special
care should be taken with children. WARNING
l Do
not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that
have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door
glass, front and rear pillars and roof side
or assist grips. When the curtain airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury. WARNING
l Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook. If the curtain
airbag was activated, any such item could
be propelled away with great force and
could prevent the curtain airbag from in-
flating correctly. Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Never install a rearward facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be
used in the rear seat whenever possible. If
a forward facing child restraint must be
used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the
child restraint and away from the door.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be
leaned against or be close to the area
where the side airbags and curtain air-
bags are located. It is dangerous if the
side airbags and curtain airbags inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. Seat and seat belts
