Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600490
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used, to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
N00407000221
The seat belt webbing may be cleaned with mild soap or deter-
gent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to
dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until completely
dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts. The color may
rub off and the webbing strength may be affected.
Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mech-
anisms for positive engagement and release of the latch plate.
Check the retractors for automatic locking when in the Auto-
matic Locking Retractor function.
The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing
shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-
tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from
sunlight. All of these conditions indicate a weakening of the
belt, which may adversely affect seat belt performance in an
accident.
WA R N I N G
!
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle always take the child out as well.
Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped
inside the vehicle, especially on hot days.
Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk (ECLIPSE
SPYDER) closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle
keys away from children.
For ECLIPSE SPYDER, never allow children to
play in the trunk of your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the
seat belt assemblies. This work should be done by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to
have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer per-
form the work could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in a serious injury or death in
an accident.
