1. In order to securely fasten the tether strap, remove the head restraint from the loca- tion where you wish to install the child restraint system.2. Open the gap a little between the seat cushion (A) and the seatback (B) with your hand to locate the lower anchors (C).
3. For easier access, the seatback may be recline rearward.Push the anchor connectors (D) on the child restraint system into the lower anchors (C) in accordance with theinstructions provided by the child restraint system’s manufacturer. After it is security fastened, adjust theseatback to 4 steps forward from most reclined position. Remember, the lower anchors (C) pro- vided with your vehi
cle are designed to
secure suitable child restraint systemscompatible with the LATCH system in the outboard positions of the second row seats only. The anchor connectorsare NOT designed to secure a suitable child restraint system in the middle seating position of the second row seat.
Examples of child restraint sys- tems compatible with the LATCH system A- Rear-facing child
restraint system
B- Front-facing child restraint system C- Child restraint system lower anchor
connectors
D- Tether strap
(These are only examples.)
Using the LATCH system
A- Vehicle seat cushionB- Vehicle seatback C- Lower anchor
D- Connector
NOTE
 In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, use thelower anchor points in the outboard positions of the second row seat. It is not necessary to use the vehicle’s seat
belt. The vehicle’s seat
belt, however, MUST be
used to secure a
child restraint system in the middle seating position of the second row seat.WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower anchors, remove it before installing the child restraint sys- tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is awayfrom, not looped through or otherwise interfering with, the child restraint sys- tem. If foreign matter is not removedand/or the seat belt interferes with the child restraint system, the child restraint system will not be secured properly, coulddetach and move forward in the event of sudden braking or an
accident, and could
result in injury to the child or other vehi-cle occupants. When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.

ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALRfunction has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4.
 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.

may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found an
y scratch, crack or
damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should
have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
