For safety, you are advised to install the childrestraint system using a 3-point type seat beltwith emergency/automatic locking mecha-nism. If you cannot avoid installing it usinganother type of seat belt, follow the instruc-tions given below.1. Place the child restraint system on the rearseat.
2. Route the belt through the child restraintaccording to the child restraint systemmanufacturer’s instructions, then insertthe latch plate into the buckle.3. Remove all slack by using the lockingclip.4. Attach the top tether anchor strap to thechild restraint anchorage point and tightenthe tether anchor strap (refer to page5-16).5. Before putting the child in the restraint,push and pull the restraint in all directionsto be sure it is secure. Do this before eachuse.
Remove the plate from the buckle, thenremove the seat belt from the child restraintsystem.
WA R N I N GzBefore putting the child in the restraint,be sure to make the conversion of theretractor from the ELR mode to the ALRmode. By doing so, the child restraint sys-tem is always tightly secured to the seat bythe automatic lock. By converting to ALRmode, the movement of the child restraintsystem in the event of sudden braking oran accident will be reduced, decreasingthe risk of seriously injuring the child orother occupants.NOTE
zIf a person wearing the seat belt moves theirupper body significantly such that the beltcompletely unwinds, the retractor mayswitch to its ALR mode and lock, thus pre-venting further movement. If this happens,the person should switch the retractor backto its ELR mode by taking off the seat beltand fully rewinding it. The person shouldthen wear the seat belt again.

The information for SRS airbags includesimportant information concerning the driver’sand front passenger’s airbags, the driver’sknee airbag, the side airbags and the curtainairbags.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air-bags are designed to supplement the primaryprotection of the driver and front passengerside seat belt systems by providing thoseoccupants with protection against head andchest injuries in certain moderate-to-severefrontal collisions.The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed tosupplement the primary protection of thedriver’s seat belt system. It can reduce theforward movement of the driver’s lower legsand 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 thedriver and front passenger with protectionagainst chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup-plement properly worn seat belts and providethe driver and passenger with protectionagainst head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seatbelts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-ing all types of collisions and accidents, alloccupants, including the passengers as wellas the driver, must wear their seat belts.
Seat belt inspection
WA R N I N GzWe recomme nd you to have all seat bel tassemblies includin
g retractors and
attaching hardware inspected after anycollision. We recommend that seat beltassemblies in use during a collision bereplaced unless the collision was minorand the belts show no damage and con-tinue to operate properly. zDo not attempt to repair or replace anypart of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-mend you to have this work done by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Ser-vice Point. Incorrect repair or replace-ment could reduce the effectiveness of thebelts and could result in serious injury inthe event of a collision. zOnce the pre-tensioner has activated, itcannot be re-used.It must be replaced together with theretractor.
