Seat adjustment E00400300200
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.WARNINGl It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children.
In a collision, people or children riding unrestrained in these areas are more like- ly to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi- cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is strapped in a childrestraint.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should always be in the al- most upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
l When sliding or reclining the seat rearward,
pay careful attention to the rear seat passen-
gers. (Double cab and Club cab)

warm).
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the heater is on.
CAUTIONl Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater to low to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat
temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operationof the heater’s internal thermostat and does
not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people

sleep inducing medication (cold medicine,
etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate-
rial with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might
cause the heater element to overheatCAUTIONl When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene,
kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other organicsolvents; these might damage the surface of
the seat and also the heater element.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before at-tempting to use the heater.

WARNINGlIn order to reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, always wearyour own seat belt. Do not allow anyone
to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil-
dren should additionally be restrained in a secure child restraint system.NOTEl When luggage is placed on the front passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may,
depending on the weight and position of the
luggage, cause the warning tone to sound and the warning lamp to come on (Double

Pregnant women restraintE00405600064WARNINGlSeat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women should
use the available seat belts. This will re- duce the likelihood of injury to both thewoman and the unborn child. The lap belt
should be worn across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible, but not
across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or con-
cerns.Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system* E00405700283
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat equip-ped with an airbag has a pretensioner seat belt.
Pretensioner system
E00405801089
The pretensioner system will retract their re-
spective seat belts instantaneously, thus max-imizing the seat belt’s effectiveness, if there
is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger and the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
The seat belt pretensioner includes the fol-
lowing components:
1- Front impact sensors
2- Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit
WARNINGl To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTIONl Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could affect the pretensioner systems.CAUTIONl If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. It is important to do so be- cause unexpected activation of the preten-
sioner seat belts could cause injuries.NOTEl The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.SRS warning lamp
E00405900126
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS air-
bags and the pretensioner seat belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 4-40.
Force limiter system
E00406000078
In the event of a collision, each force limiter system will effectively absorb the load ap- plied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.

Child restraintE00406401297
When transporting children in your vehicle, some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil- dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat. (Double cab andClub cab)
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint to the
rear seat, place the front seatbacks in the upright position.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision. (Double cab and Club cab)Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
E00406500565
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
Do not use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!WARNINGl A 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.NOTEl If you have a rearward facing 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 before using it. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 4-31.)

WARNINGlA FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should not be used in the frontpassenger seat whenever possible; if used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward position.Infants and small children
E00406602124
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle.
l Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it in the 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 dif-
ficult to securely install some manufac-
turer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has been tightened, choose another manufac-turer’s child restraint system.WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or fa- tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured. If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se- cured with the seat belt or remove it fromthe vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.

NOTElDepending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following two locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (Double cab, See page 4-25).
• To the seat belt (See page 4-27).Older children
E00406700235
Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.
WARNINGl Children who are not buckled up can be
thrown out of the vehicle in an accident.
l Children who are not buckled up can
strike other people in the vehicle in an ac-cident.
l A child should never be left unattended in
your vehicle. When you leave the vehicle, take the child with you.
