All seats are equipped with a seat belt whichuses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt withan 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 theretractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
1. Occupants should always
sit back in their
seats with their backs against the uprightseatback. To reduce
the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far backas possible while maintaining a positionthat still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel,and safely operate the vehicle. The frontpassenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple-mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag”on page 4-35. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-5.
2. Before using the center seat belt for sec-ond row, make sure that the detachableanchor is securely
latched and the seat
belt is not twisted. For details, refer topage 4-21.
Seat belt instructions
NOTE
For instructions on installing a child restraintsystem using a seat belt
, refer to “Installing a
child restraint system
using the seat belt” on
page 4-32.
WA R N I N GTo reduce the risk of serious injury ordeath in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is inmotion.Seat belt performance during an accidentcan 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 prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious
injury or death.

The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning ofthe vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac-tors (A) and in the front
passenger se
at’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension-ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing andincrease seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON.
The seat belt pre-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,some smoke is released
and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appr
opriate child restraint
system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a childrestraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor VehicleRestraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the boxand child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropri-ate for your child’s we
ight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat.For detailed information,
refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraintsystem.All children should be properly restrained ina restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age.Be sure to check local,
state, or provincial
requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.Children less than 1 year old and whoweigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the second rowseat.Children older than 1 year of age and whoweigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe in a forward-facing restraint used onlyin the rear seat.
Children who weigh more than 40 pounds(18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, shoulduse a suitable child seat or a booster seatin the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and-shoulder belt fits
them properly.

Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N GAll children must be seated in the rearseat, and properly restrained.Accident statistics
show that children of
all sizes and ages are safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seat, rather than inthe front seat.Be sure to select a child restraint systemthat is appropriate not only for the child’ssize and age but also for your vehicle.Some child restraint systems may not fityour vehicle properly.

Any child who is too large to use a childrestraint system should ride in the rearseat and wear the la
p-and-shoulder belt
properly. The shoulder belt must be posi-tioned over the shou
lder and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with thelap belt positioned low on the child’s hips,not across their stomach. If necessary, abooster seat should be
used to help achieve
a proper seat belt fi
t. Follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only usea booster seat that is
certified as comply-
ing with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys-tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-tions. WA R N I N G
WA R N I N GNever hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt.Never place any part of the seat belt youare wearing around an
infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.
WA R N I N GYour vehicle is also equipped with a frontpassenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger’s airbag. Duringdeployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured
or killed.
Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraintsystems must only be used in the rear seat.Airbag

N00407701889
This vehicle is equippe
d with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-bags for the driver and passengers.The SRS front airbags are designed to supple-ment the primary protection of the driver andfront passenger seat belt systems by provid-ing those occupants w
ith protection against
head and chest injuries
in certain moderate to
severe frontal collisi
ons. The SRS front air-
bags, together with sensors at the front of thevehicle and sensors attached to the frontseats, form an advanced airbag system.The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed tosupplement the primary protection of thedriver’s seat belt system. It can reduce theforward movement of the driver’s lower legsand provide increased
overall body protection
in certain moderate to
severe frontal colli-
sions.The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbagsare also designed to supp
lement the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags provide the driver andfront passenger with pr
otection against chest
injuries by deploying the bag on the sideimpacted in moderate
to severe side impact
collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide
the driver and the passengers on the front seatand the second row outboard seats with pro-tection against head injuries by deploying thecurtain airbag on the si
de impacted in moder-
ate to severe side imp
act collisions and by
deploying both curtain
airbags when a roll-
over is detected. The curtain airbags are alsodesigned to help reduce the risk of completeand partial ejection fro
m the vehicle through
side windows in both side impact and roll-over type accidents.The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for useof the seat belts. For maximum protection inall types of accident
s, seat belts must
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives orrides in this vehicle
(with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck-led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraintsystems” on page 4-27.
WA R N I N GDo not attempt to repair or replace anypart of the seat belt assemblies. This workshould be done
by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to havean authorized Mits
ubishi Motors dealer
perform the work could reduce the effec-tiveness of the belts and could result in aserious injury or de
ath in an accident.
Never use an organic solvent to clean theseat belt webbing. Do not attempt tobleach or re-dye th
e seat belt webbing.
These may weaken the
seat belt webbing,
increasing risk of in
jury or death in an
accident.Clean seat belt webbing only with mildsoap or detergent solution and rinse itwith lukewarm water, and dry the seatbelt webbing completely before retractingit.

WA R N I N GIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYSWEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLYEVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. Thisreduces the risk of injury in all collisions,and reduces the risk of serious injuries ordeath when the airbags inflate.During sudden brakin
g just before a col-
lision, an unrestra
ined or improperly
restrained driver or front passenger canmove forward into di
rect contact with, or
within close proximity to, the airbagwhen it begins to inflate.The beginning stage of
airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause seriousinjuries or death if the occupant comes incontact with the ai
rbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions because the air-bags are not designed
to inflate in those
situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.
WA R N I N GIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel during airbag deployment can beseriously injure
d or killed.
• Airbags inflate ve
ry quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas-senger are not properly seated andrestrained, the airbag may not providethe proper protection, and can causeserious injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death due to a deployingdriver’s airbag, al
ways properly wear
your seat belt and ad
just the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining aposition that still
allows the driver to
have good control of the steering wheel,brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle con-
trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy-ing passenger’s airbag, make sure thepassenger always we
ars the seat belt
properly, remains seat
ed upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positionsthe seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrain
ed in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.
WA R N I N GAirbags inflate very
quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of theseat or sit with your
lower legs too close to
the instrument panel,
or lean your head or
chest close to the steering wheel or theinstrument panel.Do not put your feet or
legs on or against
the instrument panel.

WA R N I N GInfants and small children should neverride unrestrained,
or lean against the
instrument panel. They should never rideheld in your arms or on your lap. Theycan be seriously inju
red or killed in an
accident, especially when the airbagsinflate. Seat all infants and children in therear seat, properly re
strained in an appro-
priate child restraint system. Refer to“Child restraint syst
ems” on page 4-27.
WA R N I N GNEVER put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger’s airbag. Duringdeployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously inju

The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less.The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch data as:How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;Whether or not the driver and front pas-senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they haveaccess to the vehicle or the EDR.
