2. Push the anchor connectors on the child restraint system
(A) into the slits (B) in accordance with the instructions
provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
Remember, the lower anchors (E) provided with your
vehicle are designed to secure suitable child restraint sys-
tems compatible with the LATCH system in the outboard
positions of the second row seats only. The anchor con-
nectors are NOT designed to secure a suitable child
restraint system in the center position of the second row
seat.
NOTEIn order to secure a child restraint system compatible with
the LATCH system, use the lower anchor points in the
outboard positions of the rear seat. It is not necessary to
use the vehicle’s seat belt. The vehicle’s seat belt, how-
ever, MUST be used to secure a child restraint system in
the center position of the second row seat.

!If there is any foreign material in or around the
lower anchors, remove it before installing the child
restraint system. Also, make sure the seat belt is
away from, not looped through or otherwise inter-
fering with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes
with the child restraint system, the child restraint
system will not be secured properly, could detach
and move forward in the event of sudden braking or
an accident, and could result in injury to the child or
other vehicle occupants.When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat
where the child restraint system is installed.

Installation1. Place the child restraint system in the rear seating posi-
tion.
2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system
according to the instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer. Then insert the seat belt
latch plate into the buckle. Make sure you hear a “click”
when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.3. To activate the ALR child restraint installation function,
slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out of
the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into
the retractor.
4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to
pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor,
the ALR function has not been activated and you will
need to repeat steps 3 and 4.

5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder
part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any
slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to
feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is
not tight, the child restraint system will not be secure. It
may help to put your weight on the child restraint system
and/or push on its seatback while pulling up on the belt
(See illustration).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.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following proce-
dures.
WA R N I N G
!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.

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.
WA R N I N G
!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.

Event Data Recording
N00418600054
Your vehicle is equipped with an “EDR” - Event Data
Recorder which is capable of collecting and storing data in the
event of an air bag deployment.
The EDR may record the following information:
Condition of specific vehicle systems;
Diagnostic code(s)
Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900177
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front airbag in 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/display” on page 2-70.
WA R N I N G
!If the SRS warning light or warning display comes
on, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.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 2-5.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary
when driving.
• Do not place metallic objects or luggage under 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.

Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000289
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the airbag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The airbag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front air-
bag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when
the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger airbag off indica-
tor will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-69.
If there is a problem involving the passenger seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light/display” on page 2-70.
WA R N I N G
!If any of the following conditions occur, you should
have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible:
• The SRS warning light does not initially come on
when the key is turned to the “ON” or “START”
position.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while you are
driving.
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

Passenger’s airbag off indicator
N00418100293
The passenger airbag off indicator is located in the instrument
panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will stay on to show
that the passenger front airbag is not operational.
The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passen-
ger seat.
The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator
goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag is opera-
tional.
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.

N00419200129
Your vehicle is equipped with a curtain airbag in the front pil-
lar, the rear pillar and the side sections of the roof.
The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the
vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the seat.
Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehi-
cle, the curtain airbags will deploy.
WA R N I N G
!Side airbags and curtain airbags can cause serious
injury or death to anyone too close to the airbag
when it deploys. To reduce the risk of injury from a
deploying side airbag or curtain airbag, driver and
front passenger must be properly restrained and
seated well back, upright, and in the middle of the
seat. Do not lean against the door.
