Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the drivingsafety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi- cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI

compartment E00403400231WARNINGlWhen 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 acci- dent.
l If required, always operate the seating be-
fore the vehicle is in motion.WARNINGl Do not allow anyone to ride in the luggage
compartment while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. People who are not properly seated and restrained can be seriously injured orkilled in an accident.
l The luggage compartment in the rear of

fastened when the vehicle is in motion.
l Confirm that the seatback locks securely
when it is returned.CAUTIONl Do not stack luggage in the vehicle higher
than the seatback height. Also, firmly securethe luggage.
Serious accidents could result due to unre-
strained objects entering the passenger com-
partment 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.
l Be careful not to catch your hands or feet
when arranging the seat. Personal injury could result.Folding the rear seatbacks for-

E00404800636
To protect you and your passengers in theevent of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner sys- tem. These belts are used the same way as a
conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-14.
WARNINGl Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger- ous.WARNINGl The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.
