Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help
protect you and your pas-
sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of cras
hes. For added protec-
tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemen
tal 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 prop- erly secured in an appropriate childrestraint system in the rear seat.  That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

The heated seats can
be operated by pushing
the switch when the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON. The indicator light (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.
To adjust the seatbacks
CAUTION The reclining mechanism used in the seat- back is spring loaded, and will cause theseatback to return quickly to the vertical position when the lock lever is operated. When pulling the lever, sit close to the seat-back or hold the seatback with your hand to control its return motion.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

N00404300584
Padded head restraints for the seats can reduce the risk of a whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from the rear. The head restraints are equipped in the illus-trated position. To maximize the effectiveness of your head restraint, adjust the front seatback to theupright position, the rear seatback to the nor- mal seating position, a
nd the head restraint to
the proper position. Sit back against the seat-back with your head close to the head restraint.
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint is at your ear level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their ear level when seatedshould raise the restrain
t to the highest locked
position.  To raise the restraint,
pull it straight up.
 To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow. After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
WA R N I N G After returning the seatbacks to their upright positions, make sure that the seat-backs are locked in place and firmly.Also check to be sure that the rear seat belts are in front of
the seatbacks, and not
caught behind the seatbacks.CAUTION Do not grab the seat be
lt guide to raise the
seatback; doing so can
cause damage of the
seat belt guide
and the seatback.
Head restraints
WA R N I N GDriving without the
head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengersserious injury or deat
h in an accident. To
reduce the risk of in
jury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints areinstalled and proper
ly positioned when
the seat is occupied. In order to minimize
the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the front seat- back must be adjusted to the upright posi-tion, the rear seatback to the normal seating position, and
the head restraint to
the proper position
before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver shou
ld never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion. Never place a cushion
or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasingthe distance betwee
n your head and the
restraint.

WA R N I N G When a child booster se
at is used on the
front passenger seat, the front passenger seat belt warning ligh
t will not come on, if
the seat belt is not fastened when thebooster seat is used
. Confirm that the
child is wearing the
seat belt properly.

ssory or sticker that
makes the light difficult to see.
Adjustable seat belt shoulder anchor (front seats)
WA R N I N G Always adjust the shou
lder belt anchor so
that the shoulder belt
is positioned across
the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The sh
oulder 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 in
jury or death in the
event of an accident. Adjust the shoulder be
lt 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 adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.

When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released and a loud noise willbe heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally 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 front
or side impact, even
if the seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not ac
tivate in certain col-
lisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely damage
d. Such non-activation
does not mean that something is wrong withthe seat belt pre-tens
ioner system, but rather
that the collision fo
rces were not severe
enough to activate the system.

This warning light tells you if there is a prob-lem involving the SRS airbags and/or the seat belt pre-tensioner sy
stem. Refer to “SRS

In the event of an accident, the seat belt force limiter system will help reduce the force applied to the driver and front seat passenger.
N00407101753
When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appr
opriate 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 childrestraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor VehicleRestraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the boxand 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 maximum
protection for their size and age. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride 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 must be in a forward-facing restraint used onlyin 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
