Seat adjustmentE00400300200
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.WARNINGl To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
l When sliding or reclining the seat rear-
ward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers. (Double cab and Club
cab)Front seat E0400400012To adjust forward or backward E00400500824

seat rearward and then raise the seatback rearward
to lock the seat in position.WARNINGl Do not drive the vehicle with the seatback
folded forward. The seat is not retained
position if it is not kept in an upright posi-
tion, so serious injuries could be suffered
in the event of hard braking or a collision.CAUTIONl The reclining mechanism of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand.

CAUTIONlSwitch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.): • Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol
or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
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 When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
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* E00401300148

To install
Confirm that the head restraint is facing the correct
direction, and then insert it into the seatback while
pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.CAUTIONl Confirm that the height adjusting knob
(A) is correctly adjusted as shown in the
illustration, and also lift the head re-
straints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.CAUTIONl If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat head restraint, the head restraints
for the front and rear seats differ in size.
When installing head restraints, make
sure the front and rear head restraints
are fitted in their respective seats.Seat belts E00404800825
To protect you and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
are worn correctly while driving.
A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an airbag
has a pretensioner system. These belts are used the
same way as a conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-12 .WARNINGl 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 belt reminder/warning lampE00409800790
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the
driver and front passenger to fasten the seat belt.
NOTE l For the front passenger seat, the warning func-
tion works only while a person is sitting on
the seat.
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning lamp will come on and a tone
will sound for about 6 seconds. If the front seat belt
remains unfastened approximately 1 minute later,
the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound in-
termittently (each 12 times) when the vehicle is driv-
en. If the passenger subsequently unfastens the seat
belt while driving, the warning lamp and tone will
issue further warnings. And if the seat belt remains
unfastened, the warning lamp and tone will issue
further warnings each time the vehicle starts mov-
ing from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the
warnings will stop.
WARNINGl In order to reduce the risk of serious or fa-
tal injury in an accident, always wear
your own seat belt. Do not allow anyone
to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is
also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil-
dren should additionally be restrained in
a secure child restraint system.
NOTE
l When luggage is placed on the front passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may, de-
pending on the weight and position of the lug-
gage, cause the warning tone to sound and
the warning lamp to come on (Double cab).

tem using the vehicle’s seat belts.
A- Child restraint system connectors
To install
WARNINGl If there is any foreign material in or
around the connectors, remove it before
installing the child restraint system. Also,
make sure the seat belt is away from, not
looped through or otherwise interfering
with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat
belt interferes with the child restraint sys-
tem, the child restraint system will not be
secured properly and could move for-
ward in the event of sudden braking or a
collision, seriously injuring the child and
possibly other vehicle occupants.
l When the vehicle is moving do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system
is installed.1. Push the child restraint system’s connectors
into the lower anchorages (A) in accordance
with the instructions provided by the child re-
straint system’s manufacturer.CAUTIONl When installing a child restraint system,
prevent the head restraint from touching
the child restraint system by removing it
or adjusting its height.
If your child restraint system requires the use
of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in ac-
cordance with steps 2 through 5. If a tether
strap is unnecessary, perform the step 6.
2. Remove the head restraint from the location
in which you wish to install a child restraint.

WARNINGlDo not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbag. Special
care should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that
have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.WARNINGl Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door
glass, front and rear pillars and roof side
or assist grips. When the curtain airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook.
If the curtain airbag was activated, any
such item could be propelled away with
great force and could prevent the curtain
airbag from inflating correctly. Hang
clothes directly on the coat hook (without
using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be
leaned against or be close to the area of
the seat where the side airbag and cur-
tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if
the side airbag and curtain airbag inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. Improper
work could result in inadvertent deploy-
ment of a side airbags and curtain air-
bags, or could render a side airbags and
curtain airbags inoperative; either situa-
tion could result in serious injury.
