Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers in an accident. Seat belts are the most important safetydevice. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protec-tion 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 prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraintsystems in the rear seat.  That all doors are full
y closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

senger in the event of an accident. Always use the provided seat belts. Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt usage.
N00406201470
All seats are equipped with a seat belt whichuses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt withan emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts during nor-mal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
WA R N I N G To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident, seat belts and childrestraint systems must always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-14 for additional information. Never use one seat belt for more than one person.  Never carry more people in your vehicle than there are seat belts. Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.  Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across your hips, not around your waist. Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle. To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death during deployment of thedriver’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still enables
you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel,and safely operate the vehicle.
 To reduce the risk to a front seat passen- ger of serious injury or death from a deploying airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back andupright in their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” onpage 4-21 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 youare wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour 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 prop- erly restrained. This reduces their risk ofserious injury or death in an accident, especially due to a deploying front passen- ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint sys-tems” on page 4-14 for additional information.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. Children 12 years old and under should be seated only in therear seat to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident, especially from the deployment of a front passengerairbag. Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat and positioned in the rear seat. In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.

Warning light Warning display type 1
Warning display type 2 A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt. If the ignition switch is set to the “ON” posi-tion without the driver’s seat belt being fas- tened, a warning light will come on and a tone will sound for approximately 6 secondsto remind you to fasten your seat belt. If you then drive with
the seat belt unfastened
for longer than a minute from when the igni-tion switch was turned on, the warning light will come on and blink repeatedly and the tone will sound intermittently.The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90 seconds. If you then repeatedly stop and start yourvehicle with the seat belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind you to fasten your seat belt every time thevehicle starts moving. You will also bereminded to fasten your seat belt in this way when you remove your seat belt while driv- ing. The warning light and the tone go offwhen the seat belt is fastened.
NOTE
 With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi- tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock-ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac- tor will switch to its ALR child restraintinstallation function (see page 4-19). 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.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 seriousinjury 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.

Seat belts work for ev
eryone, including preg-
nant women. Like all occupants, pregnant women are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed in an accident if they do not wear seat belts.
N00417700609
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system. The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or side collision, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously with the deployment of thefront airbags or side airbags and curtain air- bags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within the seat belt retractors (A). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance. The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components:
WA R N I N G The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyone who can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Unnecessary use of anextender can adversely affect seat belt performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unborn children in an accident, pregnant womenshould always wear a seat belt. The lap portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and low across the hips and belowthe rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. These include all of theitems listed above and all related wiring. The pre-tensioner seat belt system will oper- ate only when the ignition switch is in the“ON” or “START” position.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but careshould be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory problems.The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn. Theseat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain types of collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely damaged.Such non-activation does not mean some- thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that the collision forceswere not severe enough or not of the type to activate the system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is requiredby law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats SafetyRegulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac- turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, andshould properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instruction manual accompanying the child restraint sys-tem. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that may vary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
