To i n s t a l l
1. Slide the second seats to the fully backward position.
(Refer to “To adjust forward or backward” on page 2-9.)
2. Open the gap a little between the seat cushion (A) and the
seatback (B) with your hand to locate the lower anchor-
ages (C).
3. Push the child restraint system’s connectors into the lower
anchorages (C) in accordance with the instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system’s manufacturer.
4. Remove the head restraint from the location in which you
wish to install a child restraint.
WARNING
!●If a child restraint system other than a MITSUBI-
SHI MOTORS genuine one is used, it may not be
properly retained and the child could be seriously
injured as a result. Use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine child restraint system.
WARNING
!●If there is any foreign material in or around the con-
nectors, remove it before installing the child
restraint system. Also, make sure the seat belt is
away from, not looped through or otherwise inter-
fering with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes
with the child restraint system, the child restraint
system will not be secured properly and could move
forward in the event of sudden braking or a colli-
sion, seriously injuring the child and possibly other
vehicle occupants.●Use the top tether strap when fitting a child restraint
system with ISOFIX mountings.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in
the event of hard braking or a collision.●When the vehicle is moving do not adjust the seat
where the child restraint system is installed.

WARNING
!●Do not allow a child to kneel on the passenger seat
facing the passenger’s side door, since the side air
bags and curtain air bags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
WARNING
!●Do not allow any second seat occupant to hold onto
the seatback of either front seat, in order to reduce
risk of injury from the deploying side air bags. Spe-
cial care should be taken with children.●Do not place any objects near or in front of the seat-
back of either front seat. They could interfere with
proper side air bag inflation, and also could cause
injury if thrown free by side air bag deployment.●Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on
the seatback of either front seat. They could inter-
fere with proper side air bag inflation.●Do not install seat covers on seats with side air bags.
Do not re-cover the seats with side air bags. They
could interfere with proper side air bag inflation.

SRS servicing
E00407900726
NOTE●When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to some other
person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
●If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge you to first take
the vehicle to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point so that the SRS can be rendered safe.
WARNING
!●We recommend any maintenance performed on or
near the components of the SRS to be performed by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Improper work on the SRS components or wiring
could result in inadvertent deployment of the air
bags, or could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.●Do not modify your steering wheel, seat belt retrac-
tor or any other SRS components. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.●If your vehicle has received any damage, we recom-
mend you to have the SRS inspected to ensure it is in
proper working order.●Do not modify your front seats, centre pillar and
centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to
possible injury.
Also, if you have found any tear or open seam in the
seat fabric at the portion near the side air bag, we
recommend you to have the seat inspected.●If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to
the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side
rail, you should have the SRS inspected by a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Floor mats Carrying children in the vehicle
●Never leave your vehicle unattended with the key in the
ignition and children inside the vehicle. Children may
play with the driving controls and this could lead to an
accident.
●Make sure that infants and small children are properly
restrained in accordance with the laws and regulations,
and for maximum protection in case of an accident.
●Prevent children from playing in the luggage compart-
ment. It is quite dangerous to allow them to play there
while the vehicle is moving.Loading luggageWhen loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height
of seats. This is dangerous not only because rearward vision
will be obstructed, but also the luggage may be projected into
the passenger compartment under hard braking.
WARNING
!●Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by correctly lay-
ing floor mats that are suitable for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out position,
securely retain them using the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying
one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal
operation and lead to a serious accident.
