WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If one must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury 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 isone year old (unless the infant outgrows the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to sup-port the weight of their head in the event of an accident.
 When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to your child in anaccident or sudden stop. After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installedsecurely, it may cause injury to the child or 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, orremove 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
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the
rear seat 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 installsome 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 tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.Depending on the seating position in the vehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can beattached using one of the following 2 meth- ods: • Attach to the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint system is compatible with the LATCH system (Seepage 4-21). • Attach to the seat belt (See page 4-23).

NOTE
 In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, use the lower anchor points in the outboard positions of the rear seat. It is not necessary to use thevehicle’s seat belt. The vehicle’s seat belt, however, MUST be used to secure a child restraint system in the center position of therear 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 away from, not looped through or otherwiseinterfering with, the child restraint sys- tem. If foreign matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes with thechild restraint system, the child restraint system will not be secured properly, could detach and move forward in the event ofsudden 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.

With the exception of the driver, the seat beltin all other seating positions can be convertedfrom normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This means that when you pullthe seat belt fully out of the retractor, theretractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function. Always use the ALR child restraint installa
tion function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when-ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system in the rear seating position.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor-rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or forattaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Installing a child restraint sys- tem using the seat belt (with emergency/automatic locking mechanism)
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, always make sure the retractor has been switched to the ALR child restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraintsystem tightly secured to the seat. Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the childrestraint system to move forward during sudden braking or an accident, resulting in serious injury or death to the child orother occupants. When you install a child restraint system using the 3-point type seat belt with 2 buckles in the rear center seating position, always make sure both latch plates aresecured. Do not use the seat belt with only one of the latch plates attached. This could result in a serious injury or death in theevent of an accident or sudden stop.

2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system according to the instruc- tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into the buckle. Make sure you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the beltfeed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the ALR function, you willnot be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and youwill need to repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing theslack to feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system will not be secure. It mayhelp to put your weight on the child restraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (Seeillustration). 6. Remove the head restraint from the loca- tion in which you wish to install a child restraint system.
If your child restraint system requires the useof a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.

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 (including a booster cushion)must be used, to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains positioned low across theirhips. The booster seat (including a booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush- ions Safety Regulations.

The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use anorganic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until com- pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts. The color may rub off and the webbing strength may be affected. Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mechanisms for positive engage-ment and release of the latch plate. Check the

Children who have outgrown child restraint systems
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident. A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised around, your vehicle.When you leave the vehicle, always take the child out as well. Children can die from he
at stroke if left or
trapped inside the vehicle, especially on hot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from chil-dren.

retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from sunlight. All of these con- ditions indicate a weakening of the belt,which may adversely affect seat belt perfor- mance in an accident.
N00407701759
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-bags for the driver and passengers. The SRS front airbags are designed to supple- ment the primary protection of the driver and
front passenger seat belt systems by provid- ing those occupants with protection against head and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air-bags, together with sensors at the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an advanced airbag system. 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 legsand provide increased overall body protectionin certain moderate to severe frontal colli- sions. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supplement the seat belts.The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries by deploying the bag on the sideimpacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and passengers on the front seatand rear outboard seat with protection against head injuries by deploying a bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impactcollisions and by deploy
ing both bags when a
rollover is detected. The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection inall types of accidents, seat belts must
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicl
e (with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys- tem in the rear seat, and older children buck-led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-18.
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This work should be done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to havean authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer perform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in aserious injury or death in an accident.
Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem (SRS) - airbag
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury in all collisions,and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate. During sudden braking just before a col-lision, an unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or passengers can move forward into direct contact with, orwithin close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate. The beginning stage of airbag inflation isthe most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes in contact with the airbag at this time.• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrear impact collisions, and in lower- speed frontal collisions because the air- bags are not designed to inflate in thosesituations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehicle in a collision or rollover.

WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel during airbag deployment can be seriously injured or killed.• Airbags inflate very quickly and withgreat force. If the driver and front pas- senger are not properly seated andrestrained, the airbag may not provide the proper protection, and can cause serious injuries or de
ath when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death due to a deployingdriver’s airbag, always properly wear your seat belt and adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaininga position that still allows the driver to have good control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator, and other vehicle con-trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy- ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat beltproperly, remains seated upright and all the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrained in an appropri- ate child restraint system.
WA R N I N G Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean your head or chest close to the steering wheel or theinstrument panel. Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instrument panel.
WA R N I N G Infants and small children should never ride unrestrained, or lean against the instrument panel. They should never ride held in your arms or on your lap. They can be seriously injured or killed in anaccident, especially when the airbags inflate. Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, properly restrained in an appro-priate child restraint system. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-18.

The SRS includes the following components:
WA R N I N G NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger airbag. Duringdeployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems orinfant 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 seat whenever possible. If they must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child.WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properlyworn, and with an appropriate booster seat (including a booster cushion) if needed.Refer to “Children who have outgrown child restraint systems” on page 4-25.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed above and all relatedwiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON. The airbags will operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed. When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag was inflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under-standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;  How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,  How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
