6. Remove the head restraint from the location in which you
wish to install a child restraint system.
7. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint sys-
tem to the tether anchor bar (B) and tighten the tether strap
so it is securely fastened.8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull
the restraint in all directions to be sure it is firmly secure.
Do this before each use. If the child restraint system is not
firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and
deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the
restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from
the restraint and let the belt fully retract.If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following proce-
dures.

!
Child restraint system tether anchors are designed
only to withstand loads from correctly fitted child
restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they
to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600520
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used, to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
N00407000221
The seat belt webbing may be cleaned with mild soap or deter-
gent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to
dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until completely
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 mech-
anisms for positive engagement and release of the latch plate.
Check the retractors for automatic locking when in the Auto-
matic Locking Retractor function.
The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing
shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-
tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from
sunlight. All of these conditions indicate a weakening of the
belt, which may adversely affect seat belt performance in an
accident.
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
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle, always take the 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 when not in use. Keep
your vehicle keys away from children.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the
seat belt assemblies. This work should be done by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to
have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer per-
form the work could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in a serious injury or death in
an accident.

2-60 Seat and restraint systems
2Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - air-
bag
N00407700635
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS), which includes airbags for the driver and passengers.
The SRS front airbags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems
by providing those occupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions.
The SRS front airbags, together with sensors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an
advanced airbag system.
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 chest injuries
by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate to
severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide
the driver and passengers on the front seat and second row out-
board seat with protection against head injuries by deploying a
bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact col-
lisions and by deploying both bags when a rollover is detected.
The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts.
For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts
must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in
this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate
child restraint system in the rear seat, and older children buck-
led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page
2-49.
WA R N I N G
!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR
YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN
AIRBAG. Seat belts help keep the driver and passengers
properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury
in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious
injuries or death when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an
unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or
front passenger can move forward into direct con-
tact with, or within close proximity to, the airbag
when it begins to inflate.
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if
the occupant comes in contact with the airbag at
this time.
Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rear impact
collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions
because the airbags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle in a collision or rollover.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED. A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection, and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s air-
bag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system.
WA R N I N G
!
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean your head
or chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument
panel.
Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.

!
Infants and small children should never ride unre-
strained, or lean against the instrument panel. They
should never ride held in your arms or on your lap.
They can be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent, especially when the airbags inflate. Seat all
infants and children in the rear seat, properly
restrained in an appropriate child restraint system.
Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 2-49.
WA R N I N G
!
NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in
the front passenger seat. This places the infant too
close to the passenger airbag. During deployment of
that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or
killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant
restraint systems must only be used in the second
row seat.Airbag

FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever pos-
sible. If they must be used in the front passenger
seat, move the seat to the most rearward position
and make sure the child stays in the child restraint
system, 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
their seat belt properly worn, and with an appropri-
ate booster seat (including a booster cushion) if
needed.
Refer to “Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems” on page 2-59.

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 2-5.
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.
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 remove the seats and seat belts.
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.WA R N I N G
!
WA R N I N G
! Do not allow rear-seat occupants to grasp the front
passenger’s seatback or put their arms around it.
When attaching a child restraint system in the rear
seat, make sure it does not interfere with the front
seat.
If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the
SRS sensors inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as soon as possible.

In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploy-
ing side airbag, do not allow any second row seat
passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat.
Special care should be taken with children.
Do not place any objects around the area where the
side airbags deploy. Such objects can interfere with
proper side airbag deployment, and cause injury
during deployment of the side airbag.
Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on
the back of either front seat. They can interfere with
proper side airbag deployment.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object
around the part where the curtain airbag (B)
deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or
front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates, the microphone or other
object may be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.

WA R N I N G
!
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object
on the coat hook. If the curtain airbag was activated,
any such item could be propelled away with great
force and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat
hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are
no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes
that you hang on the coat hook.
Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have
side airbags. Covers can interfere with proper side
airbag deployment and adversely affect side airbag
performance.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint
systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Front-facing child restraint systems should also be
used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child
restraint system must be used in the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible, and make
sure that the child stays in the child restraint system,
properly restrained and away from the door.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the
passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not
lean against or be close to the section of the seatback
where the side airbag and curtain airbag are
located. It is dangerous if the side airbag or curtain
airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of these instruc-
tions could lead to serious injury or death to the
child.
Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag or
curtain airbag components should be done only by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a
risk of a serious injury or death. Improper work
methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain
airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or cur-
tain airbag inoperable. Either of these situations
could result in serious injury or death.
Do not place luggage heavier than the specified on
the roof carrier.
Such luggage may cause the curtain airbags to
inflate accidentally, which could result in serious
injury or death.WA R N I N G
