Your vehicle has 3 attachment points on therear shelf, located behind the top of your rearseat. These are for securing a child restraint system tether strap to
each of the 3 rear seat-
ing positions in your vehicle.
NOTE
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 installsome manufacturer’s child restraint systems. If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.Depending on the seating position in the vehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can beattached using one of the following two methods: • To the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint system is com- patible with the LATCH system (See page4-15). • To the seat belt (See page 4-17).

1. In order to securely fasten the tether strap, remove the head restraint from the loca- tion where you wish to install the childrestraint system.
2. Push the anchor connectors (A) on the child restraint system into the slits (B) in accordance with the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufac-turer. Remember, the lower anchors (E) provided with your vehicle are designed to secure suitable child restraint systemscompatible with the LATCH system in the rear seat only.
3. Open the cover for the tether anchor by pulling it back with your hand as illus-trated below (3).

NOTE
In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, use the lower anchor points in the outboard positions of the rear seat. It is not necessary to use the vehicle’s seat belt. The vehicle’s seat belt,however, MUST be used to secure a child restraint system in the center position of the rear seat.WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower anchors, remove it before installing the child restraint sys-tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is away from, not looped through or otherwise interfering with, the child restraint sys-tem. If foreign matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes with the child restraint system, the child restraintsystem will not be secured properly, could detach and move forward in the event of sudden braking or an accident, and couldresult in injury to the child or other vehi- cle occupants. When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.

With the exception of the driver, the seat beltin all other seating positions can be convertedfrom normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This means that when you pullthe seat belt fully out of the retractor, theretractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function. Always use the ALR child restraint installa
tion function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when-ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system in the rear seating position.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor-rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or forattaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Installing a child restraint sys- tem using the seat belt (with emergency/automatic locking mechanism)
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, always make sure the retractor has been switched to the ALR child restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraintsystem tightly secured to the seat. Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the childrestraint system to move forward during sudden braking or an accident, resulting in serious injury or death to the child orother occupants.

2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system according to the instruc- tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into the buckle. Make sure you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the beltfeed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the ALR function, you willnot be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and youwill need to repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing theslack to feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system will not be secure. It mayhelp to put your weight on the child restraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (seeillustration). 6. Open the cover from the tether anchor installation point by pulling it back with your hand as illustrated below (6).7. Remove the head restraint from the loca- tion in which you wish to install a child restraint system.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.

Children who have outgrown a child restraintsystem should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a booster cushion)must be used, to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains positioned low across theirhips. The booster seat (including a booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush- ions Safety Regulations.
N00407000221
The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use anorganic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until com- pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts. The color may rub off and the webbing strength may be affected.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor-rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or forattaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Children who have outgrown child restraint systems
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident. A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised, around your vehicle.When you leave the vehicle, always take the child out as well. Children can die from he
at stroke if left or
trapped inside the vehicle, especially on hot days. Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid closed when not in use. Keep your vehiclekeys away from children. Never allow children to play in the trunk of your vehicle.

WA R N I N G Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where the curtain airbag (B) deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When thecurtain airbag inflate, the microphone or other object may be hurled with great force or the curtain airbag may not inflatecorrectly, resulting in death or serious injury.
WA R N I N G Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur- tain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag frominflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharpobjects in the pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook. Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child restraint system must be used in the front passenger seat,move the seat as far back as possible, and make sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door. Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not leanagainst or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of theseinstructions could lead to serious injury or death to the child.
Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag and curtain airbag system compo- nents should be done only by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Improper work methods can cause accidental sideairbag and curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag and curtain airbag inoperable. Either of these situations canresult in serious injury or death.
