N00406701215
When your seat belt, even fully extended, is not long enough, a seat belt extender must beobtained. The extender may be used for either of the front seats.
N00406800075
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 wearseat belts.
N00417700638
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave 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 sidecollision, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously with the deployment of the front 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.
WA R N I N G Always adjust the shoulder belt anchor so that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The shoulder belt should not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect seat belt performance and increase the risk of serious injury or death in theevent of an accident. Adjust the shoulder belt anchor only when the vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position after adjusting it.
Seat belt extender
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 shouldnot use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender 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 women should always wear a seat belt. The lap portion of the seat belt should be wornsnug and low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system 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 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 care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it,as it may cause some temporary irritation topeople with respiratory problems. The pre-tensioners activate in the event of moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact,even if the seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain types of collisions, even though thevehicle may appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activation does not mean some- thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensionersystem, but rather that the collision forces were 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 byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (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, and should properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instructionmanual 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. Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat.  Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regardless of age, should use a suitable child seat or a booster seatin the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap/shoulder belt fits them properly.
Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, rather than inthe front seat.  Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap and shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt must be posi-tioned over the shoulder and across the chest, not across their neck, and with the lap belt positioned low on the child’s hips,not across their stomach. If necessary, a booster seat should be used to help achieve a proper seat belt fit. Follow the boosterseat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that is certified as comply- ing with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys- tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.  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 creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the event of an accident or sudden stop.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger airbag. Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger airbag. During deployment of the airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or killed. Rear-facingchild restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.

The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until com-pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-
dye the belts. The color may rub off and the webbing strength may be affected. Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mechanisms for positive engage- ment and release of the latch plate. Check theretractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obviouscuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from sunlight. All of these con- ditions indicate a weakening of the belt,which may adversely affect seat belt perfor- mance in an accident.
N00407701818
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-bags for the driver and passengers. The SRS front airbags are designed to supple- ment the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems by provid-ing those occupants with protection againsthead and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions. The SRS front airbags, together with sensorsat the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legsand provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate to severe frontal colli- sions. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supplement the seat belts. The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chestinjuries by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact
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 childrestraint system, to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident. A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the vehicle, always takethe 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.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This workshould be done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealerperform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or death in an accident.

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 theitems 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 able 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 4-19.

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 as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
N00417900193
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-aft
position. The airbag control unit controls
deployment of the driver’s front airbag in
accordance with the information it receives
from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s
seat position sensor, the SRS warning in the
instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS
warning light/display” on page 4-26.
N00418001387
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. 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 passen-
ger’s airbag off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on
page 4-25.
If there is a problem involving the passen-
ger’s seat weight sensors, the SRS warning in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-26.
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) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves-
tigation.

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” position
and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, 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 goes
out 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 come
on 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 weight
being 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 pushthe front passenger seat with their feet or
force the front passenger seat upward.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to grasp
the front passenger’s seatback or put
their arms around it.• When attaching a child restraint systemin the rear seat, make sure it does not
interfere with the front seat. If the vehicle is involved in a severe
