child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. THECHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM MUSTBE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.zWhen installing a child restraint system,refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe orfatal injury to your child.zAfter installation, push and pull the childrestraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is positively secured.If the child restraint system is not installedsecurely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in the case of accidentor sudden stops.zWhen not in use, keep your child or infantseat secured with the seat belt or remove itfrom the vehicle in order to prevent injuryto yourself or
your passengers.
NOTE
zBefore purchasing a child restraint system,try installing it in the rear seat to make surethere is a good fit. Because of the location ofthe seat belt buckles and the shape of the seatcushion, it may be difficult to securely installsome manufacturer’s child restraint systems.If the child restraint system can be pulledforward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tightened,choose another manufacturer’s child restraintsystem.

For safety, you are advised to install the childrestraint system using a 3-point type seat beltwith emergency/automatic locking mecha-nism. If you cannot avoid installing it usinganother type of seat belt, follow the instruc-tions given below.1. Place the child restraint system on the rearseat.
2. Route the belt through the child restraintaccording to the child restraint systemmanufacturer’s instructions, then insertthe latch plate into the buckle.3. Remove all slack by using the lockingclip.4. Attach the top tether anchor strap to thechild restraint anchorage point and tightenthe tether anchor strap (refer to page5-16).5. Before putting the child in the restraint,push and pull the restraint in all directionsto be sure it is secure. Do this before eachuse.
Remove the plate from the buckle, thenremove the seat belt from the child restraintsystem.
WA R N I N GzBefore putting the child in the restraint,be sure to make the conversion of theretractor from the ELR mode to the ALRmode. By doing so, the child restraint sys-tem is always tightly secured to the seat bythe automatic lock. By converting to ALRmode, the movement of the child restraintsystem in the event of sudden braking oran accident will be reduced, decreasingthe risk of seriously injuring the child orother occupants.NOTE
zIf a person wearing the seat belt moves theirupper body significantly such that the beltcompletely unwinds, the retractor mayswitch to its ALR mode and lock, thus pre-venting further movement. If this happens,the person should switch the retractor backto its ELR mode by taking off the seat beltand fully rewinding it. The person shouldthen wear the seat belt again.

The SRS includes the following components:
Only when the operation mode of the powerswitch is in ON, the airbags will operate.The airbags deployment produces a sudden,loud noise, and releases some smoke andpowder, but these conditions are not injuri-ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.People with respiratory problems may feelsome temporary irritation from chemicalsused to produce the deployment; open thewindows after airbag deployment, if safe todo so.The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-ment, so there is little danger of obscuredvision.
How the supplemental restraint system works 1- Airbag module (Passenger)2- Airbag module (Driver)3- Driver’s knee airbag module4- Side airbag modules
5- Curtain airbag modules
CAUTIONzAirbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, bruises, lightcuts, and the like.
WA R N I N GzIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-ERLY SEATED.A driver or front passenger too close tothe steering wheel or instrument panelduring airbag deployment can be killed orseriously injured.Airbags inflate very
fast, and with great
force.If the driver and front passenger are notproperly seated and restrained, the air-bags may not protect you properly, andcould cause serious or fatal injuries whenit inflates.WA R N I N GzDo not sit on the edge
of the seat, or sit
with your lower legs too close to theinstrument panel, or lean head or chestclose to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel. Do not put feet or legs on or againstthe instrument panel.zPlace all infants and small children in therear seat and properly restrained using anappropriate child restraint system.The rear seat is the safest for infants andchildren.

zThe side airbag and cu
rtain airbag inflate
with great force. The driver and passengershould not put their arms out the window,and should not lean against the door, inorder to reduce risk of serious or possiblefatal injury from the
deploying side airbag
and curtain airbag.WA R N I N GzDo not allow any rear seat occupant tohold onto the seatback
of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from thedeploying side airbag. Special care shouldbe taken with children.zDo not place any objects near or in frontof the seatback of either front seat. Theycould interfere with proper side airbaginflation, and also could cause injury ifthrown free by side airbag deployment.WA R N I N G
zDo not place stickers, labels or additionaltrim on the seatback of either front seat.They could interfere with proper side air-bag inflation.zDo not install seat covers on seats withside airbags.Do not re-cover seats
that have side air-
bags. This could interfere with proper sideairbag inflation.zDo not attach a microphone (A) or anyother device or object around the partwhere the curtain airbags (B) activatesuch as on the windsc
reen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side orassist grips. When
the curtain airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device orobject will be hurled with great force orthe curtain airbags may not activate cor-rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WA R N I N G
WA R N I N GzDo not put a hanger or any heavy orpointed object on the
coat hook. If the cur-
tain airbag was activated, any such itemcould be propelled away with great forceand could prevent the curtain airbag frominflating correctly. Hang clothes directlyon the coat hook (without using a hanger).Make sure there are no heavy or sharpobjects in the pockets of clothes that youhang on the coat hook.zDo not allow the child
to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child isseated in a child restraint system.The child’s head should
also not be leaned
against or be close to the area where theside airbag and curtai
n airbag are located.
It is dangerous if the side airbag and cur-tain airbag inflate.Failure to follow all of these instructionscould lead to serious or fatal injury to thechild.zWe rec ommend wor k around and on theside airbags and curtain airbags system tobe done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.
