The seat belt webbing
may be cleaned with
mild soap or detergent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in theshade. 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 thewebbing strength may be affected. Regularly check your se
at belt buckles and
their release mechanisms
for positive engage-
ment and release of the
latch plate. Check the
retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec- tion of the webbing from broken fibers, orsevere fading from sunl
ight. All of these con-
ditions indicate a we
akening of the belt,
which may adversely affect seat belt perfor-mance in an accident.

This vehicle is equippe
d with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS), which includes air- bags for the driver and passengers. The SRS front airbags are designed to supple- ment the primary protection of the driver and
front passenger seat
belt systems by provid-
ing those occupants wi
th protection against
head and chest injuries
in certain moderate to
severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air- bags, together with sens
ors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supplement the seat belts.The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate
to severe side impact
collisions. The SRS curtain airbags providethe driver and passengers on the front seat and second row outboard seat with protection against head injuries
by deploying a bag on
the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions a
nd by deploying both bags
when a rollover is detected. The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of accident
s, seat belts must
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives orrides in this vehicle
(with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys- tem in the rear seat, and older children buck-led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-25.
WA R N I N G Any child who is t
oo small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properlyrestrained in an appropriate childrestraint system, to reduce their risk of serious injury or de
ath in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the ve
hicle, always take
the child out as well. Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped inside the vehicle, especially on hot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle ke
ys away from chil-
dren.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This workshould be done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors deal
er. Failure to have
an authorized Mitsub
ishi Motors dealer
perform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or de
ath in an
accident.

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per-formed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do any service, inspection, maintenanceor repair on any SR
S components or wir-
ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or disposed byanyone except an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Improper work meth
ods on the SRS com-
ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deployment or could make the SRS inoperable. Ei
ther of these situa-
tions could result in serious injury or death. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component or related vehicle part. For example, replacement of thesteering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure can adversely affect SR
S performance and
may lead to injury. If your vehicle has received any damage, you should have the
SRS inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to
make sure it is in proper working order.
 Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modificationscan adversely affect
SRS performance and
may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found an
y scratch, crack or
damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should
have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
 When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we
urge you to alert the
new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS
and refer that owner to the applicable sec- tions in this owner’s manual.  If you decide to junk or
scrap your vehicle,
we urge you to first take it to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer so that the SRS canbe made safe for disposal.  If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by a handicapped person,the advanced airbag system will be greatly affected. Please consult an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer. • Driver’s seat • Front passenger seat • Front seat beltWA R N I N G
