To install WARNING
l If
there is any foreign material in or
around the connectors, remove it before
installing the child restraint system. Also,
make sure the seat belt is away from, not
looped through or otherwise interfering
with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat
belt interferes with the child restraint sys-
tem, the child restraint system will not be
secured properly and could move for-
ward in the event of sudden braking or a
collision, seriously injuring the child and
possibly other vehicle occupants.
l When the vehicle is moving do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system
is installed. 1. Push
the child restraint system’s connectors
into the lower anchorages (A) in accordance
with the instructions provided by the child re-
straint system’s manufacturer. If your child restraint system requires the use
of

a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in ac-
cordance with the following procedures.

Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
l Check
the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if defective.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent 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
l We
recommend you have all seat belt as-
semblies including retractors and attach-
ing hardware inspected after any colli-
sion. We recommend that seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to op-
erate 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 activated, it
cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag* E00407201797
The

information written in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, side
and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbag is designed to supplement the
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest injury
in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment the properly worn seat belts and provide the
driver and passengers with protection against head
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact
collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum protection in all types of crashes and ac-
cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-
eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle. WARNING
l IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG: WARNING
• Seat
belts help keep the driver and pas- sengers properly positioned, which re-
duces injury risk in all collisions, and
reduces the risk of serious or fatal in-
juries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a
collision, an unrestrained or improper-
ly restrained driver or passengers can
move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the col-
lision.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if the occupant
contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and
in lower-speed frontal collisions, be-
cause driver’s and passenger’s air-
bags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle in a colli-
sion or roll-over.
l IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY 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- Seat and seat belts

WARNING
bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates. • Before driving, adjust the driver’sseat as far back as possible while still
maintaining complete control of the ve-
hicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen- ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al- ways properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the driver and passengers should sit well
back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the
instrument panel. WARNING
l 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 an appropriate child re-
straint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual. WARNING
l A
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
serious injuries to the child.
Front passenger’s airbag ON NOTE
l If

you have a rearward facing child restraint
system that cannot be fitted to any seat other
than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn
OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 2-30.)

WARNING
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should not be used in the front
passenger seat whenever possible; if used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the
seat to the most rearward position. Fail-
ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child. WARNING
l Older
children should be seated, properly
wearing the seat belt, with an appropri-
ate booster seat if needed. Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag

l Extreme Hazard!
Do

not use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it! How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works

2- Front

passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)

The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When
the airbag control unit detect an impact of suf-
ficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition sig-
nal to the airbag modules to ignite materials in the
inflator and generate gas and inflate the airbags.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye. CAUTION
l
Airbags
inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100184

you have a rearward facing child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front
passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-30.) The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.
WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always
remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
