Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re- placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach-
ment or installation of such parts affects the overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi- cial. Only in the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS
genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attach-
ed or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume, that optimal safety has been provided. Thesame also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicle with respect to the
production specifications. For your own safe-
ty, in such cases, you should only undertake
modifications according to the recommenda- tions of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.Modification/alterations to

WARNINGlIf the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.

fore the power window is fully closed. This allows the power window to close complete- ly. Therefore be especially careful that no
fingers are trapped in the power window.NOTEl The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstancescause the power window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.NOTEl If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the power window will not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. Repeatedly raise the appropriate power
window switch until that power window has
been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and holdit in this condition for at least one second, then release it. You should now be able to
operate the power window in the normal
fashion.

Seat beltsE00404800825
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts are worn correctly while driv-ing.
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 seatbelt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-13 .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 danger-
ous.
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 every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall enough to
wear seat belts properly.WARNINGl Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in
an accident, including the deploying driv-
er’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still allows good visibility andgood control of the steering wheel, the
brake and accelerator, and vehicle con- trols.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901126
This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.
