CAUTION
l
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alco-
hol or other organic solvents when clean-
ing the seat. Doing so could damage not
only the seat cover, but also the heater el-
ement.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Rear seat
E00401300353 WARNING
l When
a person sits in the rear seat, pull
up the head restraint to a height at which
it locks in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Seri-
ous injuries could otherwise be suffered
as the result of an impact. Refer to “Head
restraints” on page 3-07. CAUTION
l

Seat belts
E00404800636
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 3-11 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.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
l Remove any twists when using the belt. WARNING
l No
modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do
so risks severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00404901070
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once

worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement
of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong
shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear-
er’s body. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sud-
den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed. Seat belt inspection
E00406300576
l Check

the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent 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 af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We
recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col-
lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407202026
The

information for SRS airbags includes impor-
tant information concerning the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags, the side airbags and the cur-
tain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbags are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest, abdo-
men and hip injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the driv-
er and passenger with protection against head inju-
ries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To
ensure the maximum protection during all types of
collisions and accidents, all occupants, including
the passengers as well as the driver, must wear
their seat belts. Seat and seat belts

Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
E00410100272
The
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fit-
ted to any seat other than the front passenger seat,
be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 3-23)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated as shown in the illustration. Front passenger’s airbag OFF indica-
tion lamp
E00410200316
The
front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located as shown in the illustration. The indication lamp normally comes on when the
electric

motor switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is not opera-
tional. 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 opera-
tional. 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.
To turn an airbag off E00412300076 WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always
remove the key from the elec-
tric motor switch before operating the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adverse-
ly affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the electric motor
switch to the “LOCK” position.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch. Failure to
do so could lead to improper position
of the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch.

Safe driving techniques
E00600300635
Driving
safety and protection against injury cannot
be fully ensured. However, we recommend that
you pay extra attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and
your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats WARNING
l Keep
floor mats clear of the pedals by cor-
rectly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out of position, securely retain them us-
ing 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. Carrying children in the vehicle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key

and children inside the vehicle. Children
may play with the driving controls and this
could lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small children are
properly restrained in accordance with the
laws and regulations, and for maximum pro-
tection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the luggage
compartment. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load
above the height of seats. This is dangerous not on-
ly because rearward vision will be obstructed, but
also the luggage may be projected into the passen-
ger compartment under hard braking. Parking brake
E00600501647
To
park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully apply the parking lever sufficiently to
hold the vehicle.
To apply the parking brake 1- Firmly
depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing the but-
ton at the end of hand grip. CAUTION
l
When
you intend to apply the parking
brake, firmly press the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop be-
fore pulling the parking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the
vehicle moving could make the rear
wheels lock up, thereby making the vehi-
cle unstable. It could also make the park-
ing brake malfunction. Starting and driving

During cold weather
E08402600014
The
capacity of the auxiliary battery is reduced at
low temperatures. This is an inevitable result of its
chemical and physical properties. This is why a
very cold auxiliary battery, particularly one that is
not fully charged will only deliver a fraction of the
starting current which is normally available.
We recommend you to have the auxiliary battery
checked before the start of cold weather and, if nec-
essary, have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but an
auxiliary battery which is kept fully charged also
has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection E08402700015
To disconnect the auxiliary battery cable, stop the
electric

motor unit, first disconnect the negative (-)
terminal and then the positive (+) terminal. When
connecting the auxiliary battery, first connect the
positive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) termi-
nal.
NOTE
l Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the auxiliary battery.
l Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the
auxiliary battery cable from the positive (+)
terminal. WARNING
l Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the auxiliary battery because the
auxiliary battery could explode.
l When installing the auxiliary battery,
start connection with the positive (+) ter-
minal. If connection is started from the
negative (-) terminal, sparks will occur if
the positive (+) terminal touches any oth-
er parts, and this may cause the auxiliary
battery to explode.
l The auxiliary battery electrolyte is ex-
tremely caustic. Do not allow it to come
in contact with your eyes, skin, clothing,
or the painted surfaces of the vehicle.
Spilt electrolyte should be flushed imme-
diately with ample amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from contact
with electrolyte requires immediate medi-
cal attention.
l Ventilate when charging or using the aux-
iliary battery in an enclosed space. CAUTION
l
Keep it out of reach of children.
l When

replacing the auxiliary battery, re-
move the connected positive (+) and nega-
tive (-) terminals after turning the electric
motor switch to the “LOCK” position
and waiting at least 1 minute. If the auxil-
iary battery terminal is removed just af-
ter the electric motor switch is turned to
the “LOCK” position, this may cause dam-
age to components of the electric motor
unit.
l Never short-circuit the auxiliary battery.
This could cause it to overheat and be dam-
aged.
l If the auxiliary battery is to be quick-
charged, first disconnect the battery ca-
bles.
l In order to prevent a short circuit, be
sure to disconnect the negative (-) termi-
nal first.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the auxiliary battery.
l Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic
parts and so on into contact with sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then imme-
diately rinse the affected parts with plen-
ty of water. Vehicle care and Maintenance
