CAUTIONl Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater to low to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat
temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operationof the heater’s internal thermostat and does
not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or
sleep inducing medication (cold medicine,
etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate-
rial with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might
cause the heater element to overheatCAUTIONl When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene,
kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other organicsolvents; these might damage the surface of
the seat and also the heater element.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before at-tempting to use the heater.

E00403300995WARNINGlDriving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the restraint is as close as possible
to eye level to reduce the chances of injury in
the event of collision. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their seated eye level,should adjust the restraint as high as possible.

Seat beltsE00404800825
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts are worn correctly while driv-ing.
A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an
airbag has a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a conventional seatbelt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-13 .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.
l 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.WARNINGl 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 To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in
an accident, including the deploying driv-
er’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still allows good visibility andgood control of the steering wheel, the
brake and accelerator, and vehicle con- trols.
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 seat belt to a snug fit.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901126
This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.
Seat belts
4-10OKTE15E3Seat and seat belts4

WARNINGlNever wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen and increase the risk of injury.
l The seat belts must not be twisted when
worn.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness
as desired.
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the button on
the buckle.
NOTEl As the belt retracts automatically, keep hold-
ing the latch plate while retracting so that the
belt stows slowly. Failure to do this could damage the vehicle.Seat belt reminder/warning
lamp
E00409802026
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the driver and front passenger (if so equip-ped) to fasten the seat belt.
NOTEl For the front passenger seat, the warning
function works only while a person is sitting on the seat.
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position, the warning lamp will come on and
a tone will sound for about 6 seconds. If the
front seat belt remains unfastened approxi-
mately 1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sounds intermittently (each 12 times) when the vehicle is driven. If the
passenger subsequently unfastens the seat
belt while driving, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings. And if the seat
belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings each
time the vehicle starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the warnings
will stop.
Seat belts
4-11OKTE15E3Seat and seat belts4

WARNINGlIn order to reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, always wearyour own seat belt. Do not allow anyone
to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil-
dren should additionally be restrained in a secure child restraint system.NOTEl When luggage is placed on the front passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may,
depending on the weight and position of the
luggage, cause the warning tone to sound and the warning lamp to come on (Double
cab).Adjustable seat belt anchor

Pregnant women restraintE00405600064WARNINGlSeat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women should
use the available seat belts. This will re- duce the likelihood of injury to both thewoman and the unborn child. The lap belt
should be worn across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible, but not
across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or con-
cerns.Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system* E00405700283
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat equip-ped with an airbag has a pretensioner seat belt.
Pretensioner system
E00405801089
The pretensioner system will retract their re-
spective seat belts instantaneously, thus max-imizing the seat belt’s effectiveness, if there
is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger and the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
The seat belt pretensioner includes the fol-
lowing components:
1- Front impact sensors
2- Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit
WARNINGl To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTIONl Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could affect the pretensioner systems.CAUTIONl If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. It is important to do so be- cause unexpected activation of the preten-
sioner seat belts could cause injuries.NOTEl The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.SRS warning lamp
E00405900126
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS air-
bags and the pretensioner seat belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 4-40.
Force limiter system
E00406000078
In the event of a collision, each force limiter system will effectively absorb the load ap- plied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.

Child restraintE00406401297
When transporting children in your vehicle, some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil- dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat. (Double cab andClub cab)
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint to the
rear seat, place the front seatbacks in the upright position.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision. (Double cab and Club cab)Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
E00406500565
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
Do not use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!WARNINGl 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 se-
rious injuries to the child.NOTEl 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 4-31.)
