Force limiter system
E00406001280
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 restraint
E00406403552
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.
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.WARNINGl When attaching a child restraint system
to the rear seat, adjust the front seat to
prevent the front seatbacks from touching the child’s feet and child restraint system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
E00406501810
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a front passenger airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
NEVER use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVEAIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI- OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.NOTEl The labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch. (Club cab and Double
cab, refer to “To turn an airbag off (Club cab and Double cab)” on page 4-27)

WARNINGlA 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. A rearward facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if it must be used in the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail- ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child.Infants and small children
E00406602339
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l 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.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
l Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it in the 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 dif-
ficult to securely install some manufac- turer’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 manufac- turer’s child restraint system.
WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system fixed
firmly or remove it from the vehicle in or- der to prevent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an acci-
dent.NOTEl Depending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following two locations:
• Using the lower anchorage in the rear seat
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (Double cab, See page 4-21).
• Using the seat belt (See page 4-21).

Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with lower anchorages for attaching a child restraint sys-tem with ISOFIX mountings.
Tether anchorage location
There are 2 child restraint anchorage points on the vertical panel, located behind the rear
seat.
These are for securing a child restraint sys- tem tether strap to each of the 2 rear seating
positions in your vehicle.
*: Front of the vehicle
WARNINGl Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehi- cle.Child restraint system with
ISOFIX mountings (Doublecab)
E00409001614

E00408701933
Installation:
1. Put a child restraint system on the seat in
which you wish to install it and remove
the head restraint from the seat.
Refer to “Head restraints*” on page 4-05.
2. When installing a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat, adjust seat slide to its most rearward position.
3. Route the belt through the child restraint
according to the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions, then insert
the latch plate into the buckle.
4. Remove all slack by using the locking
clip (A).
5. If your child restraint system has a sup-
port leg, make sure that there is a sup- port leg at the stable position on the
floor.
6. Before putting the child in the restraint,
push and pull the child restraint in all di-
rections to be sure it is secure. Do this before each use.
WARNINGl For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid personal injury during a collision or sud-den 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.Seat belt inspection
E00406301821
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
Seat belt inspection
4-23OKTE18E1Seat and seat belts4

WARNINGlWe recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col- lision. We recommend that seat belt as- semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to operate 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 been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re- tractor.WARNINGl Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi- tion, do not modify, remove or install the
seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.
Supplemental restraint
system (SRS)-airbag* E00407203573
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.

The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air-
bags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those oc- cupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS driver airbag employ a dual stage
airbag system (if so equipped). The SRS
driver and front passenger airbag is control- led by the impact sensors (at the front of the
vehicle) and the control unit (near the centre
of the vehicle at floor level).

The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip-
ped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate-
to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de- signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger with protection against chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli- sions.

CAUTIONlAirbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY 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-
bags may not protect you properly, and could cause serious or fatal injuries whenthey inflate.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, 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.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl 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 restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.WARNINGl Older children should be seated, properly
wearing the seat belt, with an appropriatebooster seat if needed.Caution for installing the child

Driver’s and front passenger’s
airbag system
E00407402015
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained in
the instrument panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag inflates at two different rates according to the severity of the impact
(if so equipped).
The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s
airbag are designed to inflate at the same time even if the passenger seat is not occu-pied.Driver’s knee airbag system*

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-erly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag ARE NOT DE- SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
not designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot typically provide protection to
the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf- fers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercar- riage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island
or kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and
hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts as shown in the illustration that can easily move you out of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel and in-strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it at this stage.WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occu-
pant if the airbag inflates.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS)-airbag*

WARNINGlDo not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) tothe ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat-
ing normally or could be propelled to
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
l Do not attach accessories to the lower
portion of the driver’s side instrumentpanel. Such objects could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating nor-
mally or could be propelled to cause seri- ous injury if the airbag inflates.WARNINGl Do not put packages, pets or other objects
between the airbags and the driver orfront passenger. It could affect airbagperformance, or could cause injury when the airbag inflates.
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a danger of being burnt.
l The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed, they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced and we recommend you to have the entire airbag system in-
spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.Side airbag system*
E00407601892
The side airbags (A) are contained in the
driver and front passenger seatbacks.
The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, evenwith no passenger in the front seat.
The label shown here is attached to the seat- backs with a side airbag.
