Vehicle-speed sensitive auto-matic door lock (with impact- sensitive unlock mechanism)
All of the doors lock automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately15 km/h (9 mph) . In addition, all of the doors
unlock when a strong impact that could be
very dangerous to the occupants is sustained by the collision of the vehicle. This is pre-pared for rescue activities when an unexpec-
ted accident occurs.
WARNINGl When the vehicle-speed sensitive automat-
ic door lock/impact-sensitive unlock
mechanism may not operate in the follow- ing conditions, have the vehicle inspected
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point immediately.

down.NOTEl Even if the vehicle suffers significant defor-
mation from a collision etc., depending on the location and angle of the collision, as
well as on the shape and condition of the
other object in the collision, the doors may
not unlock. The extent of deformation or damage to the vehicle does not necessarily correlate with unlocking of the doors.

Seat adjustmentE00400301887
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle. Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children. In a collision, people or children ridingunrestrained in these areas are more like- ly to be seriously injured or killed.
l Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip- ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi- cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint.WARNINGl To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in the al- most upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.
l Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking se-
curely, and it could lead to an accident. It may also cause damage to the seat or oth-
er parts.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l The reclining mechanism of the front man-
ual seat’s seatback is spring loaded, causing
it to fold the seatback forward when the lock lever is operated. When using the lever, sit close to the seatback or hold it with yourhand to control its return motion.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.CAUTIONl If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat rear- ward, pay careful attention to the rear seat
passengers. (Club cab and Double cab)Front seats

holder for rear seat occupants.
Refer to “Cup holder” on page 7-106.Head restraints*
E00403302869WARNINGlDriving 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
Front seats
Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the head restraint is as close as pos-
sible to ear level to reduce the chances of in- jury in the event of collision. Any person too
tall for the head restraint to reach their seated ear level, should adjust the restraint as highas possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To lower the restraint, move it downward
while pushing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the arrow. After adjust-
ment, push the head restraint downward and make sure that it is locked.
Rear centre seat
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
pull up the head restraint to the locked posi- tion.

To raise the head restraint, move it upward.
To lower the restraint, move it downward

Seat beltsE00404802089
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.
The front seat belts each have a pretensioner system. (Single cab and Club cab)
The front seat belts and the rear outer seat belts each have a pretensioner system. (Dou-
ble cab)
These belts are used the same way as a con- ventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system*” on page 4-10.WARNINGl 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 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 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 fromoperating 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 seat belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
