When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small ch
ildren are offered by
several 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 syst
em should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your
vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information, refer to the instruc-tion manual accompanying the child restraint system. All children should be
properly restrained in
a restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child si
ze 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 ch
ild 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 whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be 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, regard
less of age, should
use a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until
the vehicle’s lap-and-
shoulder belt fits
them properly.
WA R N I N GThe seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to work only
once. After the seat
belt pre-tensioners have been activated,they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt pre-tensioner system inspected by anauthorized Mitsubis
hi Motors dealer.
SRS warning light Force limiter system Child restraint systems
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 in the front seat. Be sure to select a child restraint system that is appropriate not only for the child’s size and age but also for your vehicle.Some child restraint systems may not fit your vehicle properly.

WA R N I N G NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This pl
aces the infant too
close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously inju
red or killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be usedin the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward po
sition 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.WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with thei
r seat belt properly
worn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed.Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint systems” on page 4-20.

accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light” on page 4-27.
N00418000364
The passenger’s seat oc
cupant classification
sensor system is attached to the front passen-ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con- trol unit with inform
ation regarding the
occupant on the front passenger seat. The air-bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this system. The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenger seat or a child in a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger’s airbag off indicator will illuminate.Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 4-26. If there is a problem involving the passen-ger’s seat occupant cl
assification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on.Refer to “SRS warning light” page 4-27.
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning
light comes on, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possi- ble. 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 thannecessary when driving.• Do not place metallic objects or luggageunder the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensor inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as
soon as possible.

ght comes on while
you are driving.
 To ensure that the passenger’s seat occu- pant classification sensor system can sense correctly, observe the following instruc-tions. 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 4-3.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary.• Never have more th
an one person (adult
or child) sittin

N00408300579
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light on
the instrument panel.
The system checks itself every time the igni- tion switch is turned
to the “ON” position or
the operation mode is put in ON. The SRS warning light will co
me on for several sec-
onds and then go out. This is normal andmeans the system is working properly. If there is a problem
involving one or more of
the SRS components, the warning light willcome on and stay on. The SRS warning light is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt
pre-tensioner system.
N00407900321
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained inthe instrument panel above the glove com- partment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are designed to deploy atthe same time. However, the front passen-
ger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat is not
occupied or when the
system senses that a child is in the child restraint system.
N00404500036
The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steering wheel. The driver’s knee airbag is designed to deploy at th
e same time as the
driver’s front airbag.

there may be a proble
m with the SRS air-
bags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners, andthey may not function properly in a colli- sion or may suddenly
activate without a
collision:• Even when the ignition switch or theoperation mode is in ON, the SRS warn-ing light does not come on or it remains on.• The SRS warning li
ght comes on while
driving.The SRS airbags and seat belt pre-ten-sioners are designed to help reduce the risk of serious injury
or death in certain
collisions. If either of the above conditions occurs, immediately
have your vehicle
checked by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer.

Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in
an accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help
prevent outsiders
from gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehiclesmay not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alon
e in the vehicle. In
addition to the risk
of heat stroke, chil-
dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury
or fatal accident.
When closing a door,
make sure that the
door is fully closed and the door-ajar warning display goes out on the informa-tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is aj
ar it could open while
driving and caus
e an accident.
