child restraint MITSUBISHI ASX 2017 (in English) User Guide

WARNINGlWhen installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two
locations: • To the lower anchorage in the rear
seat ONLY if the child restraint has
ISOFIX mountings (See page 4-18).
• To the seat belt (See pages 4-09,
4-23).
Older children
E00406700277
Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.

Installing a child restraint sys-tem to the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child restraint mount-ings) and tether anchorage
E00406901986
Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with lower
anchorages for attaching a child restraint sys- tem with ISOFIX mountings.
Tether anchorage locations
There are 2 child restraint anchorage points located on the back of the rear seatbacks.
These are for fastening the child restraint tether straps to the 2 rear seat seating posi-
tions.
WARNINGl 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 vehi- cle.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
system using the vehicle’s seat belts.

nate any slackness.
4. Push and pull the child restraint in all di-
rections to be sure it is secure.WARNINGl For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid personal injury during a collision or sud-den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when the child restraint is removed.Seat belt inspection
E00406301876
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web- bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.WARNINGl We recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col- lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re- placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.WARNINGl Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi- tion, do not modify, remove or install the
seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.
Supplemental restraint

Seat belt inspection
4-24OGAE17E2Seat and seat belts4

The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi- sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, and the like.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and could cause serious or fatal injuries whenit inflates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument panel. Do not put feet or legs on or againstthe instrument panel.WARNINGl Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap- propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)

WARNINGlA REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child.
A rearward facing child restraint should be used in the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if they must be used in the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail- ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child.
l Older children should be seated in the
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,with an appropriate booster seat if nee- ded.Caution for installing the child
