WARNING
l In order to reduce the risk of serious or fa-
tal injury in an accident, always wear
your own seat belt. Do not allow anyone
to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is
also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil-
dren should additionally be restrained in
a secure child restraint system.
NOTE l When
luggage is placed on

the front passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may, de-
pending on the weight and position of the lug-
gage, cause the warning tone to sound and
the warning lamp to come on (Double cab).
Adjustable seat belt anchor (front
seats)* E00405000299
The seat belt anchor height can be adjusted.
Move the seat belt anchor

down with the lock knob
(A) depressed. To move the anchor up, slide it with-
out depressing the lock knob (A).
Anchor down Anchor up WARNING
l When adjusting the seat belt
anchor, set
it at a position that is sufficiently high so
that the belt will make full contact with
your shoulder but will not touch your neck.
Lap belts* E00405100128
The lap belts should be adjusted by holding the belt
and latch plate
at right

angles to each other, and
then pulling the belt as shown in the illustration to
a snug fit around the occupant. 1- Tighten
2- Loosen

While holding the latch

plate, insert the latch plate
into the buckle until a “click” is heard. Pregnant women restraint
E00405600064 WARNING
l Seat belts work for
everyone,
including
pregnant women. Pregnant women
should use the available seat belts. This
will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child.
The lap belt should be worn across the
thighs and as snug against the hips as pos-
sible, but not across the waist. Consult
your doctor if you have any additional
questions or concerns. Seat and seat belts

Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system* E00405700283
The driver’s and front passenger’s
seat equipped
with an airbag has a pretensioner seat belt.
Pretensioner system E00405801089
The pretensioner system will retract their respec-
tive seat belts instantaneously, thus

maximizing the
seat belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact
severe enough to injure the driver and/or front pas-
senger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
The seat belt pretensioner includes the following
components: 1- Front impact sensors
2- Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit WARNING
l To obtain the best results
from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad-
justed your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly. CAUTION
l
Installation
of audio
equipment or
re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. It is important to do
so because unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause inju-
ries.
NOTE l The
pretensioner seat belts will

be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp E00405900126
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 2-38.
Force limiter system
E00406000078
In the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem will effectively absorb the

load applied to the
seat belt so as to minimize the impact to the passen-
ger. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should not be used in the front
passenger seat whenever possible; if used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the
seat to the most rearward position. Fail-
ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child. WARNING
l Older children should be
seated,
properly
wearing the seat belt, with an appropri-
ate booster seat if needed. Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag
E00408800272

The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When the airbag control unit
detect an impact of suf-
ficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition sig-
nal to the airbag modules to ignite materials in the
inflator and generate gas and inflate the airbags.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye. CAUTION
l
Airbags inflate at an
extremely
rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100184
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be used to
disable the

front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a rearward facing child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front
passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-30.) The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.
WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from

the igni-
tion switch before operating a 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 turning the ignition
switch from “ON” position to
“LOCK” position.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag. WARNING
• 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.
To turn an airbag off E00410600219
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the

key opening of the ap-
propriate front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch, and turn that airbag ON-OFF switch
to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn the ignition to the “ON” position. The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
will stay on to
show

that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. (“Front passenger’s airbag
