Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag
E00406500318
The
label shown here is attached on vehicles with a
front passenger airbag. WARNING
l Extreme Hazard!
Do

not use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it! Use rearward facing child restraints in the rear seat
or

turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page
3-23)
Front passenger’s airbag ON WARNING
l A
REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force
of an inflating airbag could kill or cause
serious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint must only be used
in the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front
seat, turn off the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch. Infants and small children
E00406600999
When

transporting infants and small children in
your vehicle, follow the instruction given below. Instruction:
l For

small infants, an infant carrier should be
used. For small children whose height when
seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in con-
tact with the face or the throat, a child seat
should be used.
l The child restraint system should be appropri-
ate for the child’s weight and height and prop-
erly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of
safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR
SEAT. Seat and seat belts

NOTE
l 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
some manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled for-
ward or to either side easily on the seat cush-
ion after the seat belt has been tightened,
choose another manufacturer’s child restraint
system. WARNING
l When
installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system. Fail-
ure to do so can result in severe or fatal
injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in case of an ac-
cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle

and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following two locations: • To
the lower anchorage in the rear seat
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (See page 3-18).
• To the seat belt (See page 3-19).
Older children E00406700277
Children who have outgrown the child restraint sys-
tem should be seated in the rear seat and wear com-
bination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and posi-
tioned

low on the abdomen so that it is below the
top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could in-
trude into the child’s abdomen during an accident
and cause injury. Seat and seat belts

Installing a child restraint system to
the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child re-
straint mountings) and tether anchor-
age
E00406900703
Lower anchorage location
Your
vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with lower ancho-
rages for attaching a child restraint system with ISO-
FIX mountings. Tether anchorage locations
There
are 2 child restraint anchorage points located
on the luggage compartment floor. These are for se-
curing a child restraint system tether strap to each
of the 2 rear seating positions in your vehicle.
TOP TETHER WARNING
l Child
restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Child restraint system with ISOFIX mountings
The
child restraint system is designed only for
seats that incorporate lower anchorages. Retain the
child restraint system using the lower anchorages. It is not necessary to retain the child restraint sys-
tem using the vehicle’s seat belts.
A- Child restraint system connectors
To install 1. Remove

any foreign material in or around
the connectors and ensure the vehicle seat
belt is in its normal storage position.
2. Open the gap a little between the seat cush- ion (A) and the seatback (B) with your hand
to locate the lower anchorages (C).
3. Push the child restraint system’s connectors (D) into the lower anchorages (C) in accord-
ance with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system’s manufacturer. Seat and seat belts

If your child restraint system requires the use
of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in ac-
cordance with steps 3 through 4.
4. Remove the head restraint from the location in which you wish to install a child restraint. 5. Open
the tether anchorage cover (E), and
then latch the tether strap hook (F) of the
child restraint system to the tether anchorage
bracket (G) and tighten the top tether strap
hook so it is securely fastened. 6. Push
and pull the child restraint system in all
directions to be sure it is firmly secured.
To remove
Remove the child restraint system in accordance
with the instructions provided by the child restraint
system’s manufacturer. Installing a child restraint system to a
3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00408700646
3-point type seat belt location
The

child restraint system can be fitted by using
the 3-point type seat belt at the seating position il-
lustrated below. Installation:
1. Fasten
the seat belt to secure the child re-
straint system.
Make sure you hear a “click” when you in-
sert the latch plate in the buckle.
2. Use the locking clip to completely eliminate any slackness.
3. Push and pull the child restraint in all direc- tions to be sure it is secure. 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
