Your vehicle has seat belts and other safety 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 an
appropriate child restraint system 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. However, you can help reduce the risk of
injury or death by following the instructions in this manual.

taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the ped-
als, easily control the steering wheel and safely operate the
vehicle.

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 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.

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.

CAUTION
!
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins,
needles, or other pointed objects into the seat.
Do not place a blanket, cushion, or other insulating
material on the seat while using the heater; doing so
can cause the heater element to overheat.
When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kero-
sene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents;
doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of
the seat, but also to the heater.
If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat,
allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use
the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.
WA R N I N G
!
Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when
the vehicle is in motion or on a slope. The seats could
move more than necessary or move suddenly caus-
ing a serious accident and/or injury.
After folding down a seat or returning a seat back to
its original position, make sure the seat is firmly
secured. Also check to make sure that the seat belts
are in front of the seatbacks, and not caught behind
the seatbacks. If the seat is not secured, it could
move causing a serious accident and/or injury.
Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while
the vehicle is in motion. People who are not properly
seated and restrained can be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.
The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle should
never be used as a play area by children. All chil-
dren should be properly restrained in a restraint
device that offers the maximum protection for their
size and age. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on
page 2-24.

N00406000484
Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WA R N I N G
!
To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraint systems must
always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems”
on page 2-24 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 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 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.
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 inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is
necessary.
