nate any slackness.
4. Push and pull the child restraint in all di-
rections to be sure it is secure.WARNINGl 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 instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when the child restraint is removed.Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
l Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if it is defective.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do
not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts
because this will affect their characteris-
tics.WARNINGl 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 aMITSUBISHI 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.WARNINGl 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 E00407201944
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS airbags are designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver and frontpassenger side seat belt systems by providingthose occupants with protection against head
and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se- vere frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip-
ped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate-
to-severe frontal collisions.
Seat belt inspection
4-24 OGAE14E1Seat and seat belts4
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi- sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, and the like.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY 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 whenit inflates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument panel. Do not put feet or legs on or againstthe instrument panel.WARNINGl 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 infants
and children.WARNINGl 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 of this owner’s
manual.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)

WARNINGlA 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 se-
rious injuries to the child.
A rearward facing child restraint should be used in the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if they must be used in the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail- ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child.
l Older children should be seated in the
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,with an appropriate booster seat if nee- ded.Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
E00408800634
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
NEVER use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVEAIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI- OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.NOTEl The labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.Front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch*
E00410100285
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 fitted to any seat other than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch be-
fore using it.

Front passenger’s airbag OFFindication lamp*
E00410201355
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp is located in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, 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 passen-
ger’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 op-
erational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301145WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” position or putting the
operation mode in OFF.
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.WARNING• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a child restraint system is fitted to the
front passenger seat.
• If the indicator does not come on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a childrestraint system to the front passenger
seat. We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• If the indication lamp remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow any-
one to sit on the front passenger seat. We recommend you to have the systeminspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.

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 airbags. 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.
l 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 as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, 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 in-
flating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Never install a rearward facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be used
in the rear seat whenever possible. If a forward facing child restraint must be used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the child
restraint and away from the door.WARNINGl 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 where the
side airbags and curtain airbags are loca- ted. It is dangerous if the side airbags andcurtain airbags 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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
