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 crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks 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 child restraint system 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 ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

The second row seat can be folded to create an additional cargo area.
CAUTION Check that the lock knob (A) is extended out as shown in the illustration. Then pull the head restraint up to make sure that it is locked in place and will
not come out of the
seatback.CAUTION The shape and size of the head restraint dif- fers according to the seat. Always use the correct head restraint provided for the seatand do not install the he
ad restraint in the
wrong direction.
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.
