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.

WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.Airbag
WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant is one year old (unless the infant outgrows the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to sup-port the weight of their head in the event of an accident.  When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions inthis manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to your child in an accident or sudden stop.  After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop.  When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehicle, in order to pre-vent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident.
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the
rear 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 difficult to securely installsome manufacturer’s child restraint systems. If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.Depending on the seating position in the vehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can beattached using one of the following two methods: • To the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint system is com- patible with the LATCH system (See page4-17). • To the seat belt (See page 4-19).

4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALRfunction has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4. 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 theslack 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 childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back 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. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of thechild restraint system to the tether anchor (B) as illustrated below (7) and tighten the top tether strap so it is securely fastened.
8. 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 sys-tem is not firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7. 9. To remove a child restraint system fromthe vehicle and deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the beltfrom the restraint and let the belt fullyretract.
10. Reinstall the head restraint.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-6.
N00407601644
Children who have outgrown a child restraintsystem 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 crossestheir stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used, to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulderand the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and have a label certifyingcompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor- rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used foradult seat belts, or harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

N00407800506
The SRS includes the following components:
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 the items listed above and all related wiring. The airbags will operate
only when the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-tion. When the impact sensors detect a front or side impact sufficient to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhale the smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-tion to people with respiratory problems. After deployment, the airbags will quickly deflate, so quickly that some people may not even realize the airbags inflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being ab
le to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.
N00418600230
This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under- standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.
WA R N I N G Older children should
be seated in the
rear seat with their seat belt properly worn, and with an appropriate booster seat if needed. Refer to “Children who have outgrownchild restraint systems” on page 4-20.

The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
N00417900164
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s fore-aftposition. The airbag control unit controls deployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receivesfrom this sensor. If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, the SRS warning in theinstrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning” on page 4-27.
N00418000247
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat rails and provide the air- bag control unit with information regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. Theairbag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately 66pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s airbag off indicator will come on. Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” onpage 4-26. If there is a problem involving the passen- ger’s seat weight sensors, the SRS warning inthe instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning” page 4-27.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves- tigation.
Driver’s seat position sensor
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning comes on, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible. Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate correctly.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back against the seatback.Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary when driving.• Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the front seat.

The passenger’s airbag off indicator is located in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionand goes out a few seconds later. In the following situa
tions, the indicator will
stay on to show that the passenger’s front air-bag is not operational.  The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passenger seat. The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passen- ger seat is sensed to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator goesout to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.
WA R N I N G If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible:• The SRS warning does not initially comeon when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or “START” position.• The SRS warning does not go out afterseveral seconds.• The SRS warning comes on while you aredriving.
 To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors can correctly sense the weightbeing applied to the seat, observe the fol- lowing instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect the per-formance of the passenger’s airbag sys- tem.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back against the seatback. Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary.• Never have more than one person (adultor child) sitting on the seat.• Do not place anything between the seatand the floor console.• Do not hang anything on the front pas-senger’s seatback.• Do not remove the head restraints.• When attaching a child restraint system,secure it firmly.
• Do not place luggage or other objects on the seat.• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not modify or replace the seat andseat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place the floor mat on the seatrails.• Do not expose the sensors to liquids orvapors.• Do not subject the sensors to shock.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to push the front passenger seat with their feet or force the front passenger seat upward.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to graspthe front passenger’s seatback or put their arms around it.• When attaching a child restraint systemin the rear seat, make sure it does notinterfere with the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensors inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on adownhill, or away from the curb on an uphill. If necessary, apply chocks to wheels. Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down-hill slope, into the 1s
t position when parking
on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever(CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before moving the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch
SST) to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the transaxle gear. When this happens, it is diffi- cult to move the selector lever (CVT) or gear-shift lever (Twin Clutch SST) out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engi
ne running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti-lated place. Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when traveling up or down steepslopes where your bumper can scrape the road.
When leaving the vehicle unattended, always carry the key and lock all doors. Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea.

It is very important to know how muchweight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargoand non-factory-installed options. The tire and loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle willshow how much weight it may properly carry.
Parking Parking on a hill For vehicles with manual trans- axle For vehicles with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST
Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine running risks injury or death from accidentally moving the gear- shift lever (manual transaxle or Twin Clutch SST) or the selector lever (CVT) orfrom the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment.
Where you park
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can damage your vehicle, adversely affect vehicle performance, including handlingand braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of themaximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis- tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and normaloccupant weight and dividing by two. Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight. Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool-ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items whichmay be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater,to the extent that these items are available as factory- installed equipment (whether installed or not).
 Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity. Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includ-ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roofrack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the number of specified occupants.(In your vehicle the number is 3)  Occupant distribution: distribution of occupants in a vehicle as specified. (Inyour vehicle the distribution is 2 in front, 1 in second row seat)
