N00406201542
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retractor. 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 device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change in the vehicle’s motion.
 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 far back 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 adeploying airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back andupright in their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” onpage 4-30 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 youare wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the event of an accident or sudden 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’s airbag. Refer to “Child restraint sys- tems” on page 4-22 for additional information. Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properlyrestrained in an appropriate child restraint system. 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 andattachment hardware, should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacementis necessary.

The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate under the same conditions as the airbag con- trol unit. When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released and a loud noise willbe heard. The smoke is not harmful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it may cause some temporary irritation topeople with respiratory problems. Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre- tensioners will not operate if the seat belts arenot fastened. The seat belt pre-tensioners maynot activate in certain
collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear to be severely dam- aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with the seat belt pre-ten- sioner system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe enough to activate thesystem.

This warning light tells you if there is a prob-lem involving the SRS airbags and/or the seatbelt pre-tensioner system. Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 4-36.

In the event of an accident, the seat belt force limiter system will help reduce the force applied to the driver and front seat passenger.
N00407101812
When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is requiredby law in the U.S. and Canada. Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac-turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detailed information, refer to the instruc-tion manual accompanying the child restraint system. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection for their size and age as specifiedby local, state, or provincial laws. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 2 years old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.  Children older than 2 years of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) orwho are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners have been activated, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt pre-tensioner system inspected by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

N00407601628
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat andwear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their stomach, a commercially available
booster seat must be used to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat should fitthe vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle RestraintSystems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor- rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attachingother items, or equipment to the vehicle.
Children who have outgrown child restraint systems
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system, to reduce their risk ofserious injury or death in an accident. A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the vehicle, always take the child out as well. Children can die from he
at stroke if left or
trapped inside the vehicle, especially onhot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from chil- dren.

 Infants and small children should never ride unrestrained, or lean against the instrument panel. They should never ride held in your arms or on your lap. They can be seriously injured or killed in anaccident, especially when the airbags inflate. Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, properly restrained in an appro-priate child restraint system. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-22.WA R N I N G
 NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger’s airbag. Duringdeployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems orinfant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.WA R N I N G
Airbag
 FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in th
e child restraint sys-
tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child. Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properlyworn, and with an appropriate booster seat if needed.

N00407801617
The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed above and all related wiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with theF. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The airbags will operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed. When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag was inflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in combination with theuse of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from opening doors and falling out of moving vehicles.• Locked doors can help prevent outsidersfrom gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehiclesmay not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. In addition to the risk of heat stroke, chil- dren can activate switches and controls,resulting in an injury or fatal accident.
 When closing a door, make sure that the door is fully closed
and the door-ajar
warning display goes out on the informa- tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is ajar it could open whiledriving and cause an accident.

1. After unlocking, push the liftgate open switch (A) and pull up the liftgate.
WA R N I N G Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally opened by a passen-ger, especially by a child who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of someone being thrownfrom the vehicle in an accident.
Liftgate
WA R N I N G The luggage compartment was not designed for people to ride in it. Do not letpassengers ride in or let children play in the luggage compartment. Riding or play- ing in the luggage compartment couldresult in a serious accident or injury. Before driving, be sure that the liftgate is securely closed. It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open
since carbon monox-
ide (CO) gas contained in engine exhaust gases can enter the passenger compart- ment.CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death. In addition, if the liftgate opens whiledriving, luggage could fall onto the road and cause an accident.
 When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure that there are no people nearby and be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc. If snow or ice has accumulated on the lift- gate, remove it before opening the liftgate. Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly closedue to the weight of the snow or ice. When opening the liftgate, always fully open it. A partially opened liftgate can unexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgate may be greater or less than expected.The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading luggage. Heat fromthe exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure that area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.WA R N I N G
NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-key operation (vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift-gate.
To open To open from outside the vehicle
CAUTION Make sure there is no one standing nearby when opening the liftgate.
