N00401600182
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:

That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.

That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.

That all doors are fully closed and locked.

That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.

Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is
securely locked into position.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death during deployment of the passen-
ger’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and
adjust the front passenger’s seat as far back as pos-
sible.
Always place children 12 years old and under in the
rear seat and use appropriate child restraint sys-
tems.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it
is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.
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.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

Seat belt instructions
N00406200402
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle’s motion.NOTE
For instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt” on page 2-31.

To reduce the risk to a front seat passenger of seri-
ous injury or death from a deploying airbag, make
sure the passenger always wears the seat belt prop-
erly, remains seated all the way back and upright in
their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible.
Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
airbag” on page 2-35 for additional information.
Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle even when you
are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of
the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or
child. Failure to follow these simple instructions cre-
ates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in
the event of an accident or sudden stop.
Children 12 years old and under should always ride
in the rear seat and be properly restrained. This
reduces their risk of serious injury or death in an
accident, especially due to a deploying front passen-
ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on
page 2-24 for additional information.
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system. Children 12 years old and
under should be seated only in the rear seat to
reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an
accident, especially from the deployment of a front
passenger airbag.
Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety
seat and positioned in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G
!

In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies,
including retractors and attachment hardware,
should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is
necessary.

4. The lap part of the belt must always be worn low and snug
across the hips. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt
to take up any slack in the lap belt.
NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat
belts in all other seating positions are equipped with an
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will
switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see
page 2-31).
When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt
will only retract. If this happens, let the belt fully retract,
then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through
4.
5. To release the belt, press the button on the buckle and
allow the belt to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check
for kinks or twists in the webbing. Then make sure it
remains untwisted as it retracts.
WA R N I N G
!
Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn
as low as possible across the hips, not around the
waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase
the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when
worn. Twisted webbing may adversely affect seat
belt performance.

Installing a child restraint system using the seat
belt (with emergency/automatic locking mecha-
nism)
N00407300367
With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seat-
ing positions can be converted from normal Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor (ELR) mode to Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) mode. This means that when you pull the seat belt fully
out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child
restraint installation function. Always use the ALR child
restraint installation function when you install a child restraint
system using the seat belt.
Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in
the rear seat, whenever possible, although the front passenger
seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
WA R N I N G
!
Child restraint system tether anchors are designed
only to withstand loads from correctly fitted child
restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they
to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!
When you install a child restraint system using the
seat belt, always make sure the retractor has been
switched to the ALR child restraint installation
function. The ALR function will keep the child
restraint system tightly secured to the seat.
Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function
may allow the child restraint system to move for-
ward during sudden braking or an accident, result-
ing in serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants.

5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder
part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any
slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to
feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is
not tight, the child restraint system will not be secure. It
may help to put your weight on the child restraint system
and/or push on its seatback while pulling up on the belt
(see illustration). 6. Open the cover from the tether anchor installation point
by pulling it back with your hand as illustrated below (6).
7. Remove the head restraint from the location in which you
wish to install a child restraint system.
8. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint sys-
tem to the tether anchor (B) as illustrated below (8) and
tighten the top tether strap so it is securely fastened.If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following proce-
dures.

9. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull
the restraint in all directions to be sure it is firmly secured.
Do this before each use. If the child restraint system is not
firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 8.
10. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and
deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the
restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from
the restraint and let the belt fully retract.
Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600504
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used, to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
WA R N I N G
!
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle always take the child out as well.
Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped
inside the vehicle, especially on hot days.
Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid closed
when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from
children.
Never allow children to play in the trunk of your
vehicle.

Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving.
• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.

Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.
Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In
addition to the risk of heat stroke, children can acti-
vate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or
fatal accident.
