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 restrain
t provided for the seat
and 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 could move more thannecessary or move suddenly and causing a serious accident
and/or injury.
When returning a seat back to its seating position after folding 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 th
ird row seat if the
second 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.

Seat belts are installed
in your vehicle to help
reduce the risk of injury to the driver and pas- senger in the event of an accident. Alwaysuse the provided seat belts. Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt usage.Seat belts
WA R N I N G To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident, se
at belts and child
restraint systems must always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page4-27 for additional information. Never use one seat belt for more than one person. Never carry more peop
le in your vehicle
than there are seat belts. Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.Always place the shou
lder belt over your
shoulder and across
your chest. Never put
it behind you or
under your arm.
Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across your hips, not around your waist.
Never insert any foreig
n object, such as a
piece of plastic, paper
clip, button or coin,
into the seat belt buckle. Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle. 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 4-35 for additional information.WA R N I N G

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 pe
rmits 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.
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 maintaining 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 System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-35. Also refe
r to “To adjust the
seat forward or backward” on page 4-5.
Never 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 you are wearing around an
infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop. Children 12 years ol
d and under should
always ride in the re
ar seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk of serious injury or de
ath in an accident,
especially due to a deploying front passen-ger’s airbag. Refer to
“Child restraint sys-
tems” on page 4-27 for additional information. Any child who is t
oo small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properlyrestrained 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 andattachment hardware, should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacementis necessary.WA R N I N G

2. Before using the center seat belt for sec- ond row, make sure that the detachable anchor is securely latched and the seat belt is not twisted.
For details, refer to
page 4-21.
3. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it easily pulls across yourbody. 4. 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.
5. The lap part of the belt must always be worn low and snug across the hips. Pullup on the shoulder portion of the belt to take up any slack in the lap belt.
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 adversely 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 locks
up and cannot be pulled
out, pull it once with force and let it retractall the way. Then, pull the belt out
slowly once again.

The center seat belt for the second row can bedetached to fold the le
ft side second row seat.
This seat belt must be worn correctly as illus- trated.
NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi-tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock-ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull the seat belt fully out of th
e retractor, the retrac-
tor will switch to its ALR child restraintinstallation function
(see page 4-32).
When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt will only re
tract. If this happens,
let the belt fully retract, then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.WA R N I N G Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn as low as possible across the hips,not around the waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when worn. Twisted webbing mayadversely affect seat
belt performance.
NOTE
If the seat belt (A) or
ring (B) becomes dirty,
the belt may not retrac
t smoothly. If the seat
belt and ring are dirty, clean them with a mild soap or detergent solution.
Detachable center seat belt for second row
WA R N I N G Never detach the center seat belt except when the left side seat back in the secondrow is folded. Using the center seat belt with the detachable
anchor unlatched
increases the risk of serious injury ordeath in an accident. Make sure the small latch plate (A) is properly latched to the detachable anchor be
fore the center seat
belt is used.
