5. Tip the seatbacks of the third seats back-
ward. (Refer to “To recline the seatback” on
page 2-10.) 6. Move
the front seats backward until they
touch the second seats. Lock them in that po-
sition. The flat seat configuration is now com-
plete.
To return the seats to their normal positions,
reverse the above procedure. NOTE
l You
can store the head restraints (A) re-
moved from the second seat (except the mid-
dle seating position) by inserting their rods
between the tipped third seat and the wall of
the luggage area on the right side. l
The
head restraints (B) removed from the
third seat and the second seat (the middle seat-
ing position) can be fitted together and stor-
ed in the cargo net in the luggage area. Seat belts
E00404800593
To
protect you and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner system.
These belts are used the same way as a convention-
al seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-20 . WARNING
l Always
place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person.
Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi-
cle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
l Remove any twists when using the belt. Seat and seat belts

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum
protection in all types of crashes and ac-
cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-
eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle. (With in-
fants and small children in child restraints and old-
er children buckled in the rear seat.) WARNING
l IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG: • Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-senger properly positioned, which re-
duces injury risk in all collisions, and
reduces the risk of serious or fatal in-
juries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a
collision, an unrestrained or improper-
ly restrained driver or passenger can
move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the col-
lision.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if the occupant
contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and
in lower-speed frontal collisions, be-
cause driver’s and passenger’s air-
bags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle in a colli-
sion or roll-over. WARNING
l IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates. • Before driving, adjust the driver’sseat as far back as possible while still
maintaining complete control of the ve-
hicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen- ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al- ways properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the driver and passenger should sit well
back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the
instrument panel. WARNING
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for in-
fants and children. WARNING
l Infants
and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-
strument panel or be held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section in this owner’s
manual. Seat and seat belts

That airbag OFF indication lamp, with the word
“OFF”
(depending upon which airbag has been
turned off) should illuminate. That will tell you
that airbag is OFF, and will NOT deploy. (Refer to
“Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp” on
page 2-34.)
That airbag will remain OFF, and will NOT de-
ploy, until it is turned ON again. WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• If
the indication lamp does not come
on when the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, do not
fit a rearward facing child restraint
system to the front passenger seat.
• Do not turn OFF the front passen- ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except
when a rearward facing child re-
straint system is fitted to the front pas-
senger seat.
To turn an airbag on E00410700122
To turn an airbag on, 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 “ON” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of that front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. 3. Insert
the key into the ignition switch, and
turn the ignition to the “ON” position. That airbag OFF indication lamp, with the word
“OFF”
(depending upon which airbag has been
turned back on) should not illuminate.
That airbag will remain ON, and will be ready to
deploy, until it is again turned OFF. WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Turn
ON the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch immediately after re-
moving a rearward facing child re-
straint system from the front passen-
ger seat.
• If the indication lamp remains on when the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not
allow anyone to sit on the front passen-
ger seat. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indica-
tion lamp
E00410200228
The
front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the instrument panel. The indication lamp normally comes on when the
ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, and
goes off a few seconds later. When the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the in-
dication lamp will stay on to show that the front pas-
senger’s airbag is not operational.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned ON, the indication lamp goes off to show
that the front passenger’s airbag is operational. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l If the indication lamp behaves in any of
the following ways, there may be a fault
in the airbag system. We recommend you
to have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible. • The indication lamp does not come onwhen the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned OFF.
• The indication lamp stays on when the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON. WARNING
l Do not fit any accessory that makes the in-
dication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the sta-
tus of the passenger airbag system.
Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag
system E00407400356
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cov-
er
in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel
above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag inflates at two different rates ac-
cording to the fore-aft position of the driver’s seat
and the severity of the impact. The front passenger’s airbag deploys at the same
time
as the driver’s airbag, even if the passenger
seat is not occupied, and inflates at two different
rates according to the severity of the impact. Deployment of front airbags

Because the front airbags do not protect the occu-
pant
in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to al-
ways properly wear your seat belts.
Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow objects
Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
Oblique frontal impacts The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DE-
PLOY when…
The
front airbags are not designed to deploy in con-
ditions where they cannot typically provide protec-
tion to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occu-
pant
in all types of collisions, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.
Rear end collisions
Side collisions
Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…
The
front airbags may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe impact (under-
carriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Because the front airbags may deploy in certain
types
of unexpected impacts as shown in the illus-
tration that can easily move you out of position, it
is important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe dis-
tance from the steering wheel and instrument panel
during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful
and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.

WARNING
l Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel padded cover, such as trim materi-
al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not put packages, pets or other ob-
jects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Right
after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.
l The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recom-
mend you to have the entire airbag sys-
tem inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
