Seat belt instructions
N00406200431
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle’s motion.NOTE
For instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt” on page 2-38.

To reduce the risk to a front seat passenger of seri-
ous injury or death from a deploying airbag, make
sure the passenger always wears the seat belt prop-
erly, remains seated all the way back and upright in
their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible.
Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
airbag” on page 2-43 for additional information.
Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on
your lap when riding 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 instructions cre-
ates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in
the event of an accident or sudden stop.
Children 12 years old and under should always ride
in the rear seat and be properly restrained. This
reduces their risk of serious injury or death in an
accident, especially due to a deploying front passen-
ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on
page 2-31 for additional information.
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained 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 accident, all seat belt assemblies,
including retractors and attachment hardware,
should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is
necessary.

2. Before using the rear center seat belt, make sure that the
detachable anchor is securely latched and the seat belt is
not twisted. For details, refer to page 2-23.
3. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it
easily pulls across your body. 4. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a
“click”. Pull up on the belt to be sure the latch plate is
locked securely in the buckle.
NOTE
If the seat belt locks up and cannot be pulled out, pull it
once with force and let it retract all the way.
Then, pull the belt out slowly once again.

5. The lap part of the belt must always be worn low and snug
across the hips. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt
to take up any slack in the lap belt.
NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat
belts in all other seating positions are equipped with an
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will
switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see
page 2-38).
When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt
will only retract. If this happens, let the belt fully retract,
then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through
5.
6. To release the belt, press the button on the buckle and
allow the belt to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check
for kinks or twists in the webbing. Then make sure it
remains untwisted as it retracts.
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 may adversely affect seat
belt performance.
