To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that thecentre of the head restraint is as close as pos- sible to ear level to reduce the chances of in-
jury in the event of collision. Any person too
tall for the head restraint to reach their seated ear level, should adjust the restraint as highas possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To lower the restraint, move it downward while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)
in the direction of the arrow. After adjust- ment, push the head restraint downward and
make sure that it is locked.
To remove
Lift the head restraint with the height adjust-
ing knob (A) pushed in.
To install
Confirm that the head restraint is facing the
correct direction, and then insert it into the seatback while pressing the height adjusting
knob (A) in the direction indicated by the ar-
row.
The head restraint stalk with the adjustment notches (B) must be installed in the hole withthe adjusting knob (A).
CAUTIONl Confirm that the height adjusting knob (A)
is correctly adjusted as shown in the illustra- tion, and also lift the head restraints to en- sure that they do not come out of the seat-back.CAUTIONl The shape and size of the head restraint dif-
fers according to the seat. Always use the
correct head restraint provided for the seat and do not install the head restraint in the
wrong direction.

E00404800867
To protect you and your passengers in theevent of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner sys- tem. These belts are used the same way as a
conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 5-15.
Seat belts
5-09OGGE17E1Seats and seat belts5

WARNINGlSeat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger-
ous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre- vent the seat belt adjusting devices fromoperating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.WARNINGl Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404902918
This type of belt requires no length adjust- ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
l If the seat belt buckles in the rear seating po-
sition are not found, you will find them un-
der the rear seat cushion. Refer to “Making a
luggage area” on page 5-07 for how to put
the seat belt buckles at the proper position.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.
WARNINGl Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen and increase the risk of injury.
l The seat belts must not be twisted when
worn.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness
as desired.

WARNINGlA REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat when the driver’s visibilityis obstructed.Infants and small children
E00406602065
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THECHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.NOTEl Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt
buckles 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 seatcushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.WARNINGl After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se- cured with the seat belt or remove it fromthe vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two
ways: • Using the lower anchorage in the front
passenger seat or the rear seat if the
child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 5-24).
• Using the seat belt (See page 5-26).
Older children

instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when the child restraint is removed.Seat belt inspection
E00406301850
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
WARNINGl We recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col- lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re- placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly.

WARNINGlDo not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor.
l Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the
buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi- tion, do not modify, remove or install the seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not
be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.WARNINGl A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-
cause this will affect their characteristics.Supplemental restraint
system (SRS)-airbag E00407203586
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are designed to supplement the primary pro-
tection of the driver and front passenger side
seat belt systems by providing those occu- pants with protection against head and chestinjuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal
collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protectionin certain moderate-to-severe frontal colli- sions.
The SRS side airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the
driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries in certain moderate-to-
severe side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup-
plement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection
against head injuries in certain moderate-to-
severe side impact collisions.
On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLO-
NASS, the SRS curtain airbags will also de- ploy when a rollover of the vehicle is detec-
ted and the curtain airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk of complete and parti- al ejection from the vehicle through side win-
dows in both side impact and rollover type
accidents.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well as the driver, must wear their seat belts.NOTEl The ERA-GLONASS (if so equipped) is de-
signed to operate when any of the airbags deploy or when a severe collision occurs .
Refer to “ERA-GLONASS” on page 9-02.

Front passenger’s airbag indi-
cator
E00410201414
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is lo-
cated in the instrument panel.
Except for RussiaFor Russia
The both indicator normally comes on when
the operation mode of the power switch is put
in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. When the front pas-
senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi- nute to show that the front passenger’s airbagis operational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301174WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF, before operating
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after putting the operation mode
in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so could lead to improper position of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
