lImproper installation of electrical com-
ponents may cause an electrical fire if
incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/alteration to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this own- er’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper- ation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
l When fitting accessories, ensure that
maximum gross vehicle weight and
maximum axle weight are not exceeded.
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

place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the restraint is as close as possible
to eye level to reduce the chances of injury in
the event of collision. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their seated eye level,should adjust the restraint as high as possible.

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.
