●
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 install somemanufacturer’s child restraint systems. If the child restraint system
can be pulled forward or to
either side easily on the seat cushion after the seat belt hasbeen tightened, choose anot
her manufacturer’s child
restraint system.
NOTE●
Depending on the seating position in the vehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two locations: • To the lower anchorage in th
e rear seat (3-door models)/
second seat (5-door models) ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 2-54). • To the seat belt (See page 2-57).
Older children
E00406700147
Children who have outgrown the child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat an
d wear combination lap shoulder
belt.The lap portion of the belt should be snug and positioned low on the abdomen so that it is below the top of the hip-bone. Oth- erwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdomen duringan accident and cause injury.
WARNING
!●
When installing a child rest
raint system, refer to the
instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the
restraint system. Failure to do so can result in severeor fatal injury to your child.
●
After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back and fort
h, and side to side, to see that it
is positively secured. If
the child restraint system is
not installed securely, it may cause injury to the child or other occupants in
the case of accident or
sudden stops.
●
When the child restraint system is not in use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle in order to prevent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident.

anchorage (ISOFIX child restraint mountings) and tether anchorage*
E00408900169
Lower anchorage locationYour vehicle’s rear seat (3-doo
r models) / second seat (5-door
models) is fitted with lower an
chorages for attaching a child
restraint system with ISOFIX mountings.
Tether anchorage locationsThere are 2 attachment points on
the floor, located behind the
rear seat (3-door models) / seco
nd seat (5-door models). These
are for securing a child restrain
t system tether strap to both of
the 2 rear (3-door models) / second (5-door models) seatingpositions in your vehicle.
WARNING

Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
●
Check the belts for cuts, worn
or frayed webbing and for
cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defective.
●
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral detergent in warm water. After rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to bleach or
re-dye the belts because this
will affect their characteristics.
Supplemental restra
int system (SRS) -
airbag
E00407201407
The information written in this supplemental restraint system (SRS) section contains important points concerning the driver, front passenger, side and curtain airbags.The SRS driver and front passe
nger airbags are designed to
supplement the primary protection of the driver and front pas- senger side seat belt systems by providing those occupantswith protection against head and
chest injuries in certain mod-
erate-to-severe frontal collisions. The SRS driver and front passenger airbags employ a dualstage airbag system. The SRS
driver and front passenger air-
bags are controlled by the imp
act sensors (at the front of the
vehicle) and the control unit (n
ear the centre of
the vehicle at
floor level). The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is designed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front pas-senger with protection against ches
t injury in certain moderate-
to-severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags (if so
equipped) are designed to sup-
plement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver andpassenger with protection against head injuries in certain mod- erate-to-severe side
impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for maximum protection in all types of cras
hes and accidents, seat belts
should ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle.
WARNING
!●
We recommend you have al
l seat belt assemblies
including retractors and attaching hardware inspected after any collision. We recommend that seat belt assemblies in use during a collision bereplaced unless the collis
ion was minor and the belts
show no damage and contin
ue to operate properly.
●
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies; we recommend you have this work done by a MITSUB
ISHI MOTORS Author-
ised Service Point. Incorrect repair or replacementcould reduce the effectivene
ss of the belts and could
result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
●
Once the pre-tensioner has b
een activated, it cannot
be re-used. It must be replaced together with the retractor.

The average fuel consumptio
n changes depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving behavior, etc.). The indication may differ from the actual fuel consump- tion. Therefore, it is reco
mmended to use the indication as
