Infants and small children
E00406600579
When transporting infants and small children in your vehicle,
follow the instruction given below.Instruction:●For small infants, an infant carrier should be used. For
small children whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the face or the throat, a
child seat should be used.
●The child restraint system should be appropriate for your
child’s weight and height and properly fit the vehicle. For
a higher degree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR
SEAT.
WARNING
!●When installing a child restraint system, refer to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
restraint system. Failure to do so can result in severe
or fatal injury to your child.●After installation, push and pull the child restraint
system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it
is positively secured. If the child restraint system is
not installed securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of accident or
sudden stops.●When the child restraint system is not in use, keep
your child or infant seat secured with the seat belt or
remove it from the vehicle in order to prevent injury
to your child.

NOTE●Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it
in the rear seat to make sure there is a good fit. Because of
the location of the seat belt buckles and the shape of the
seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to
either side easily on the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child
restraint system.
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 2 locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the
child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 2-49).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-51).
Older children
E00406700192
Children who have outgrown the child restraint 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. Oth-
erwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdomen during
an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
!●Children who are not buckled up can be thrown out
of the vehicle in an accident.●Children who are not buckled up can strike other
people in the vehicle in an accident.●A child should never be left unattended in your vehi-
cle. When you leave the vehicle, take the child with
you.

anchorages (C) in accordance with the instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system’s manufacturer.
4. Remove the head restraint from the location in which you

WARNING
!●If a child restraint system other than a MITSUBI-
SHI MOTORS genuine one is used, it may not be
properly retained and the child could be seriously
injured as a result. Use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine child restraint system.
WARNING
!●If there is any foreign material in or around the con-
nectors, remove it before installing the child
restraint system. Also, make sure the seat belt is
away from, not looped through or otherwise inter-
fering with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes
with the child restraint system, the child restraint
system will not be secured properly and could move
forward in the event of sudden braking or a colli-
sion, seriously injuring the child and possibly other
vehicle occupants.●Use the top tether strap when fitting a child restraint
system with ISOFIX mountings.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in
the event of hard braking or a collision.●When the vehicle is moving do not adjust the seat
where the child restraint system is installed.

E00406300550
●Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed webbing and for
cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if detectable.
●A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral detergent in
warm water. After rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade.
Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts because this
affects their characteristics.
WARNING
!●For some types of child restraint, the locking clip (A)
should be used to help avoid personal injury during
a collision or sudden 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.
WARNING
!●We recommend you to have all seat belt assemblies
including retractors and attaching hardware
inspected after any collision. We recommend that
seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts
show no damage and continue to operate properly.●Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the
seat belt assemblies; we recommend you to have this
work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. Incorrect repair or replacement
could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could
result in serious injury in the event of a collision.●Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it cannot be
re-used.
It must be replaced together with the retractor.
