the electric or fuel systems, should be car-
ried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
guidelines.

SUBISHI dealer concerning any such
fitment or modification.

Seat belts
EG28ABMa
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
The front seat belts have pre-tensioners.
These belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts.
Refer to“Pre-tensioner seat belt system”on
page 3-56.
WARNING
(1) Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the seat belt under the
arm or other position which is
incorrect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protec-
tion if the recliner seatback is
placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the pas-
senger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact
accident, and may be injured by
the belt or by striking the instru-
ment panel or seatbacks.
