Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers inan accident. Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts canreduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe frontal collision, yourvehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.  That all doors are full
y closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

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
WA R N I N G
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.

When your seat belt, even fully extended, is not long enough, a seat belt extender must beobtained. The extender may be used for either of the front seats.
N00406800075
Seat belts work for ev
eryone, including preg-
nant women. Like all occupants, pregnant women are more likely to be seriously injured or killed in an accident if they do not wearseat belts.
N00417700638
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system. The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys- tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously with the deployment of the front airbags or side airbags and curtain air-bags. The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within the seat belt retractors (A). When activated,the pre-tensioners quickly draw back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance.
WA R N I N G Always adjust the shoulder belt anchor so that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The shoulder belt should not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect seat belt performance and increase the risk of serious injury or death in theevent of an accident. Adjust the shoulder belt anchor only when the vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position after adjusting it.
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N G The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyone who can use the standard seat belt shouldnot use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender can adversely affect seat belt performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unborn children in an accident, pregnant women should always wear a seat belt. The lap portion of the seat belt should be wornsnug and low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating positions can be convertedfrom normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This means that when you pullthe seat belt fully out of the retractor, theretractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function. Always use the ALR child restraint installation function when youinstall a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when-ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the childrestraint system, always remove the head restraint. 2. Route the seat belt through the childrestraint system according to the instruc- tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into the buckle. Make sure you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of theretractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor.
Installing a child restraint sys- tem using the seat belt (with emergency/automatic locking mechanism)
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, always make sure the retractor has been switched to the ALR child restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraintsystem tightly secured to the seat. Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the childrestraint system to move forward during sudden braking or an accident, resulting in serious injury or death to the child orother occupants.
