N00401600153
Your vehicle has seat belts and other 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
appropriate child restraint systems 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. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.

!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 it 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 second row seat passengers.

CAUTION
!Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate
the heaters at the “HI” position for quick heating.
After the seat has become warm, set the heater
switch to the “LO” position to keep it warm. Slight
variations in the seat temperature may be felt while
using the heated seats. This is caused by the opera-
tion of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
If the following types of persons use the heated seats,
they might become too hot or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):
• Children, elderly persons, ill persons
• Person with sensitive skin
• Excessively fatigued persons
• Persons under the influence of alcohol or sleep-
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
CAUTION
!Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins,
needles, or other pointed objects into it.Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other material with
high heat insulation properties on the seat while
using the heater; doing so could cause the heater ele-
ment to overheat.When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kero-
sene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents;
doing so could damage not only the surface of the
seat, but also 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.

2Third row seat (Seating 7 passengers)
N00419500050
The third row seat can be used for two additional passengers.
When the third row seat is not in use, it can be stowed under
the floor to provide more cargo area.
WA R N I N G
!The third row seats are intended for use by no more
than two belted occupants, each of which does not
exceed 160 cm (63 inches) in height.
Exceeding these limitations can result in an
increased risk of personal injury or death in the
event of an accident.The third row seats are not intended for use by
infants and small children who must use rear facing
or forward facing child safety seats.Third row seat operation should always be made
before driving. Operating the seat while driving
could cause the seat to move more than necessary
and result in a serious injury or death.Before using, check that the third row seat is firmly
secured. If not secured, the third row seat could
move and cause a serious injury or death in an acci-
dent.The third row seat should not be used when the sec-
ond row seats are folded forward. Third row seat
passengers can suffer a serious or fatal injury if the
second row seats fell backward in a collision or when
heavy breaking is applied.
When using the third row seat, always position and
lock the head restraints on top of the seat back.
See the steps 6 and 7 of the procedure for folding out
the third seat.For vehicles equipped with the cargo area cover,
when the third row seat is in use, always remove the
cargo area cover to avoid serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
Refer to “Cargo area cover”, page 3-283.
CAUTION
!The third row seat should be adjusted only by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur.When adjusting the third row seat, keep your hands
and feet away from moving parts and the space
below the seat.

NOTEWhen the seatback of a front seat is reclined, return it to
the upright position before driving.
Folding the second row seats
N00405700110
The second row seat can be folded to create an additional cargo
area or to permit access to the third row seat on vehicles with a
third row seat.NOTEYou can separately fold the right and left side of the sec-
ond row seat.
When folding down the seatback, the seat belt buckles can
be stowed in the slits on the seat to avoid leaving marks on
the seat.
“Storing the second row and third row seat belts” on page
2-46.To f o l d u p t h e s e a t1. Lower the head restraints to the lowest position.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 2-26.
CAUTION
!In the cargo area, do not load the luggage higher
than the top of the seats and make sure that the lug-
gage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or fly-
ing objects entering the passenger compartment
during sudden braking could result in a serious acci-
dent.Seats should always be folded up and put back into
the normal position by an adult. Seat adjustments
by a child could lead to an unexpected accident.When adjusting the seats, be careful not to catch
your hand or leg. Personal injury could result.

2 Seat belts
N00406000455
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 2-50 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 2-61 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 2-50 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.

Seat belt instructions
N00406200444
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle’s motion.NOTEFor instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt” on page 2-57.1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their
backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death during deployment of the air bag,
adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely oper-
ate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - air bag” on page 2-61. Also
refer to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page
2-7.

NOTEWith the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat
belts in all other seating positions are equipped with an
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will
switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see
page 2-57).
When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt
will only retract. If this happens, let the belt fully retract,
then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through
4.
5. To release the belt, press the button on the buckle and
allow the belt to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check
for kinks or twists in the webbing. Then make sure it
remains untwisted as it retracts.

ing light will come on and blink repeatedly and the tone will
sound intermittently.
The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90
seconds.
WA R N I N G
!Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn
as low as possible across the hips, not around the
waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase
the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when
worn. Twisted webbing may adversely affect seat
belt performance.

seat but does not fasten the seat belt. It goes off when the seat
belt is subsequently fastened.
WA R N I N G
!In order to reduce the risk of serious injury or death
in an accident, always fasten your own seat belt. Do
not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or
she is also seated and fastening a seat belt. Children
should additionally be restrained in a secure child
restraint system.
WA R N I N G
