WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident or sudden stop, all seatbacks
should be kept in the upright position while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident can be
adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The
more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt
performance will be adversely affected. If the seat
belt is not properly positioned against the body dur-
ing an accident, there is increased risk you will slide
under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
1 (HI)- Heater high (for quick heating)
2- Heater off
3 (LO)- Heater low (to keep the seat warm)

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 2-29).
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.
Driver’s seat belt reminder/warning light and
display

Warning light
Warning display
A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten
the seat belt.
If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position without the
driver’s seat belt being fastened, a warning light will come on
and a tone will sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind
you to fasten your seat belt.
If you then drive with the seat belt unfastened for longer than a
minute from when the ignition switch was turned to the “ON”
position, 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.
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.

If you then repeatedly stop and start your vehicle with the seat
belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind
you to fasten your seat belt every time the vehicle starts mov-
ing. You will also be reminded to fasten your seat belt in this
way when you remove your seat belt while driving. The warn-
ing light and the tone go off when the seat belt is fastened.NOTE
At the same time, “FASTEN SEAT BELT” will be dis-
played on the information screen in the multi-information
display.
Front passenger seat belt warning light
N00418300178
The front passenger seat belt warning light is located in the
instrument panel.
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, this
indicator normally comes on and goes off a few seconds later.
The light comes on when a person sits on the front passenger
seat but does not fasten the seat belt. It goes off when the seat
belt is subsequently fastened.
WA R N I N G
!
In order to reduce the risk of serious injury or death
in an accident, always wear your own seat belt. Do
not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or
she is also seated and wearing a seat belt. Children
should additionally be restrained in a secure child
restraint system.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not install any accessory or sticker that makes
the light difficult to see.

systems
N00417700638
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner system The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In a moderate-to-severe frontal
or side collision, the pre-tensioner system operates simulta-
neously with the deployment of the front airbags or side air-
bags and curtain airbags.
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 com-
ponents:
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 pre-tensioner seat belt system will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000306
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the airbag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The airbag
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
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s airbag off indi-
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-41.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-42.
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 pos-
sible:
• The SRS warning does not initially come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning does not go out after several sec-
onds.
• The SRS warning comes on while you are driving.

To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s airbag system.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary.
• Never have more than one person (adult or child)
sitting on the seat.
• Do not place anything between the seat and the
floor console.
• Do not hang anything on the front passenger’s
seatback.
• 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 and seat belt.
• Do not place luggage or other objects under the
seat.
• Do not place the floor mat on the seat rails.
• Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.
• 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.
