N00406201483
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt withan emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts during nor-mal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of seriousinjury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-20. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-3.
2. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it easily pulls across yourbody.
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. Children 12 years old and under should be seated only in therear seat to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident, especially from the deployment of a front passengerairbag. Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat and positioned in the rear seat. In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.
Seat belt instructions

NOTE
For instructions on installing a child restraint system using a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system using the seat belt” on page 4-18.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion.Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned againstthe body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.

After about 30 minutes has elapsed with theignition switch in the “ACC” position, the function automatically cuts out the power for the audio system and other electric devicesthat can be operated with that position. When the ignition switch is turned from “ACC” to the “ON” position, the power issupplied again to those devices.
N00550900139
For vehicles with a manual transaxle, whenremoving the key, push the key in at the“ACC” position and keep it depressed until it is turned to the “LOCK” position, and remove. For vehicles with a Twin Clutch SST, when removing the key, first set the gearshift leverto the “P” (PARK) position, and then turn the key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
START
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer. To start the engine, the ID code which the transponder inside the key sendsmust match the one registered to the immobi- lizer computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobilizer” on page5-4.)
ACC power auto-cutout func- tion
NOTE
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be changed to about 60 minutes. • The ACC power auto-cutout function can be deactivated. For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
To remove the key
NOTE
Manual transaxle
NOTE
For vehicles with a Twin Clutch SST, the key cannot be removed unless the gearshift lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position, whichallows the ignition switch to turn to the “LOCK” position.CAUTION Do not remove the ignition key from the ignition switch while driving. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control. If the engine is turned off while driving, the power brake booster will stop functioning and braking efficiency will be reduced. Also,the power steering system will not function and it will require greater effort to manually steer the vehicle. Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a long time when the engine is not running.This will cause the battery to run down.Twin Clutch SST

While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, move the gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position in the main shift gatetoward the driver’s seat to select manual shifting. Each time the gearshift lever is pulled rear- ward, the transmission shifts up 1 gear.In addition, each time the gearshift lever is pushed forward, the transmission shifts down 1 gear.
Move the gearshift lever toward the front pas- senger’s seat to return to automated shifting.
If both the left and right sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated at the same time, the transmission may not change gears.NOTE
Only the forward gears 1 to 6 can be selected. To reverse or park, place the gearshift leverin the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion. During manual shifting, downshifting will be performed automatically when the vehicle slows down and the transmission will down-shift to 1st gear before the vehicle stops. If the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated repeatedly, the transmission will also shift repeatedly. In order to ensure driving performance, upshifting may not occur depending on the vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever orsportronic steering wheel shifters are oper- ated. In addition, in
order to prevent exces-
sive engine speed, the buzzer sounds anddownshifting may not occur depending on the vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated. When driving in an aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden accelera- tion and/or deceleration, the Twin ClutchSST could take longer to shift due to higher fluid temperatures.CAUTION

Tire pressure monitoring system 5-88 Features and controls
5
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances: A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is near the vehicle. Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the wheels. The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead. Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being used. Wheels that are not fi
tted with tire infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used. Wheels whose ID codes are not memo- rized by the vehicle are used. Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
N00532900179
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressuresensors are installed, their ID codes must beprogrammed into the tire pressure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per- formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer to avoid the risk of damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not done by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
N00533001259
Your tire pressure monitoring system oper-ates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules(For vehicles sold in U.S.A.) and Industry Canada Rules (For vehicles sold in Canada). This device complies with Part 15 of FCCRules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two con-ditions. This device may not cause harmful inter- ference. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire infla- tion pressure sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it isnot covered by your warranty. Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair prod- uct on any tire. Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sensors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mitsubi-shi Motors dealer.
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the
vehicle is subjected to
large variations in ambient temperature, thetire inflation pressures may be under-inflated (causing the warning light/display to come on) when the ambient temperature is rela-tively low. If the warning light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
