When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that no one is near the vehicle. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.


Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating
and transaxle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

Installation of accessories
N00301700023


The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should
only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in
the driving area and in accordance with the guidelines and
warnings contained within the documents accompanying
this vehicle.
Only Mitsubishi Motors approved accessories should be
fitted to your vehicle.


Improper installation of electrical parts could cause fire.
Refer to the “Modification/alterations to the electrical or
fuel systems” section within this owner’s manual.


Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.


Tires and wheels which do not meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tire sizes.
Important point!Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts
provided by different manufacturers in the market, it is not
always possible for an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to
check whether the attachment or installation of non-Mitsubishi
Motors genuine parts will affect the driving safety of your Mit-
subishi-vehicle.
CAUTION
!

Before any electrical or electronic accessories are
installed, consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
WA R N I N G
!

If you choose to use a cellular phone while driving,
you must not allow that usage to distract you in the
safe operation of your vehicle. Anything, including
cellular phone usage, that distracts you from the
safe operation of your vehicle increases your risk of
an accident.
Refer to and follow all state and local laws in your
area regarding cellular phone usage while driving.

Seat and restraint systems

2 Seats and restraint systems
N00401600182
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:

That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.


That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.


That all doors are fully closed and locked.


That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.

Position the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the ped-

!

Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident.


After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is
securely locked into position.


To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.


To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death during deployment of the passen-
ger’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and
adjust the front passenger’s seat as far back as pos-
sible.


Always place children 12 years old and under in the
rear seat and use appropriate child restraint sys-
tems.
CAUTION
!

Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it
is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.


Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.


When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.


When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

2. The seatbacks fold forward.
Confirm that the seatback locks securely when it is
returned.
Seat belts
N00406000439
Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WA R N I N G
!

When folding the rear seat, make sure no one is on
the seat. The seatback will fall forward rapidly and
could cause serious injury.


After returning the seatbacks to their upright posi-
tions, make sure that the seatbacks lock in place and
are firmly secured.
Also check to be sure that the rear seat belts are in
front of the seatbacks, and not caught behind the
seatbacks.
WA R N I N G
!

To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraint systems must
always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems”
on page 2-25 for additional information.


Never use one seat belt for more than one person.


Never carry more people in your vehicle than there
are seat belts.


Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.


Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or
under your arm.


Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across
your hips, not around your waist.


Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle.


To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
