To return the seat, slide the entire seat back- ward to the desired position and then raise theseatback until it locks securely. After returning the seat, gently try to move it forward and backward to check that it issecurely retained and adjust the seatback to the normal seating position.
NOTE
 You can adjust the seatback forward or back- ward on either side separately.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 in the upright position wh
ile the vehicle is in
motion. Seat belt performance during an accident can 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 is increased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious
injury or death.
When a person is sitting in the middle seating position of the second row seats, the two sides of the second seats must have the same forward/backward position(vehicles with second row seat slide func- tion) and the same seatback angle.

Making a cargo area
WA R N I N G Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when the vehicle is in motion or on a slope. The seats co
uld move more than
necessary or move su
ddenly and causing a
serious accident
and/or injury.
When returning a seat back to its seating position after fold
ing down, make sure
that the seat is firmly secured and seat beltbuckles are in proper
position. If the seat
is not secured, it could move causing a serious accident. Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while the vehicle
is in motion. People
who are not properly seated and restrained can be seriously injured or killed in an accident.
 When driving the vehicle, do not allow anyone to sit on the third row seat if thesecond row seat is in the folded position.CAUTION In the cargo area, do not load the luggage higher than the top of the seats and makesure that the luggage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or
flying objects enter-
ing the passenger compartment during sud-den braking could result
in a serious accident
and/or injury. Seats should always be
operated 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.NOTE
 When the seatback of a front seat is reclined, return it to the upright
position before driv-
ing.

All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It perm
its full extension and
automatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation.
A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death duri
ng deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion 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 passen- ger of serious injury or death from a deploying airbag, make sure the passengeralways wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back and upright in their seat,
and moves the seat as
far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-33 for additional information. Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle
even when you are we
aring 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 creates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.WA R N I N G
 Children 12 years ol
d and under should
always ride in the re
ar seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk ofserious injury or de
ath in an accident,
especially due to a deploying front passen- ger airbag. Refe
r to “Child restraint sys-
tems” on page 4-25 for additional information. Any child who is t
oo 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 ac
cident, all seat belt
assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.

1. Occupants shoul
d always sit back in their
seats with their backs against the uprightseatback. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death during deployment of the airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far backas possible while ma
intaining a position
that still enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily contro
l the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should
also be moved as
far back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) - airbag”
on page 4-33. Also refe
r to “To adjust the
seat forward or backward” on page 4-5.
2. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it ea
sily pulls across your
body.
3. Pull the seat belt out
slowly while holding
the latch plate. Push the latch plate intothe buckle until you he
ar a “click”. Pull
up on the belt to be sure the latch plate is locked securely in the buckle.
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 accident can be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not proper
ly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.
NOTE
If the seat belt lock
s up and cannot be pulled
out, pull it once with fo
rce and let it retract
all the way. Then, pull the belt out
slowly once again.
