WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also
equipped with a front
passenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This pl
aces the infant too
close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or
killed. Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If one must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward po
sition and make sure
the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant is one year old (unless
the infant outgrows
the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to de
velop enough to sup-
port the weight of their head in the eventof an accident.
 When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by themanufacturer and follow the directions inthis manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or deat
h to your child in an
accident or
sudden stop.
After installation, push
and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in
the event of an acci-
dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehicle, in order to pre-vent it from being
thrown around inside
the vehicle during an accident.WA R N I N G

The outboard seating positions in the second row seat of your vehicle are equipped with lower anchors for attaching child restraint systems compatible with the LATCH system.
N00418901201
Your vehicle has 3 attachment points on thebackside of the second row seats. These are for securing a child restraint system tetherstrap to each of the 3
rear seating positions in
your vehicle.
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the rear seat to ensureproper fit. Due to the location of the seat beltbuckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install some manufacturer’s child restraint systems.If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seat cushion after the seat
belt has been tightened,
choose another manufactu
rer’s child restraint
system. Depending on the seating position in thevehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can be attached using one of
the following 2 meth-
ods: • Attach to the lower anchorage in the second row seat ONLY if the child restraint system is compatible with the LATCH system (See page 4-30). • Attach to the seat belt (See page 4-32).

With the exception of the driver, the seat beltin all other seating pos
itions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor(ALR) mode. This means that when you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint
installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint instal
lation function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under shouldalways be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be
converted to ALR mode.
NOTE
If it is difficult to la
tch the tether strap hook,
turn the hook sideways.WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.
 When using a child restraint in a rear seating position, always review theinstructions provided with that restraintto make sure it is compatible with this vehicle and to understand how to properly install it.Child restraints, incl
uding booster seats,
come in different sizes and configurations. Depending on where you place these childrestraints, and depending on their size and configuration, you may not be able to access or properly use one or more adja-cent seat belt assemblies. If this occurs, the adjacent seating po
sition or positions
should not be used. Failure to use a seatbelt or improper use
of a seat belt can
result in serious injury or death should a crash occur.

Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and
wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used
to raise the child so
that the shoulder belt
crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt re
mains positioned low
across their hips. The
booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and ha
ve a label certifying
compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint

[For vehicles equippe
d with the Free-hand
Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.- key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer to “Free-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 5-29. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free- hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]The electronic immobilize
r is designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo- bilize the vehicle if
an invalid start is
attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions) using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi-cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on
top of the dashboard. • Do not take the remote control transmitter apart. • Do not excessively be
nd the key or subject
it to strong impacts. • Keep the remote control transmitter dry. • Keep away from magnetic objects such as key rings. • Keep away from devi
ces that produce mag-
netism, such as audio systems, computers and televisions. • Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagneti
c waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high fre- quency equipment (i
ncluding medical
devices). • Do not clean with
ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity.
 If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle immediatel
y contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of the key number, they canmake a new key. The key number is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key num- ber plate in a safe pl
ace separate from the
key itself.NOTE
 No keys other than those registered in advance can be used
to start the engine.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theftstarting system)” on page 5-4. Refer to “Free-hand
Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronicimmobilizer (Anti-thef
t starting system)” on
page 5-29.  When the theft-alarm is in the system opera- tional status, the alarm operates if a door or liftgate is opened after using the key, thedoor lock knob or the power door lock switch to unlock the vehicle.  The system does not enter the preparation status if the keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key operation was not used to lockthe vehicle.
