Even when such parts are officially Author-ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially ap- proved manner of construction, or when a
single operation permit following the attach- ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI

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)
E00404902888
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.

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

E00405802464
When the ignition switch or the operation
mode is under the following conditions, if there is a frontal impact or a side impact (ve-
hicles equipped with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure
the driver and/or front passenger or when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is de-
tected (if so equipped), the pretensioner sys- tem will retract the respective seat belts in-
stantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in ON.
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.
l 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 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 to have them replaced by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.SRS warning lamp

The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) aredesigned to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear outboard seat with
protection against head injuries by deploying the curtain airbag on the side impacted in
moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well as the driver, must wear their seat belts.NOTEl The ERA-GLONASS (if so equipped) is de-
signed to operate when any of the airbags deploy.
Refer to “ERA-GLONASS*” on page 8-02How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407303284
The SRS includes the following components:
1. Airbag module (Driver)
2. Front passenger’s airbag indicator (Club
cab and Double cab)
3. Airbag module (Passenger)
4. Driver’s knee airbag module*
5. Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch (Club cab and Double cab)

6. Side airbag modules*
7. Curtain airbag modules*
Only when the ignition switch or the opera- tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
When the airbag control unit detects a roll- over of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will bedeployed. (if so equipped)
The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but these conditions are not injuri-
ous, and do not indicate 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 deploy- ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.

Curtain airbag system*
E00409101989
The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve- hicle that is impacted, even with no passen- ger in the front seat or rear seat.
Also, when the airbag control unit detects a
rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbags
will deploy. (if so equipped)
Deployment of side airbags and
curtain airbags*
E00407702669

The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when...
The side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate-to-severe side impact to the middle of the passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustra- tion.
1. Moderate to severe impact to the middle
of the vehicle body’s side structure
2. When the vehicle detects a rollover of
the vehicle (curtain airbag only)*

The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in a collision. The
SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to provide additional protection.Therefore, for your safety and the safety of
all occupants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when...
With certain types of side collisions, the ve-hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Examples of some typical condi- tions are shown in the illustration.
