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 wear seat belts.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have 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 side collision, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously with the deployment of thefront 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. The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components:
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 should not use an extender. Unnecessary use of anextender 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 womenshould always wear a seat belt. The lap portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and low across the hips and belowthe rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. These include all of theitems listed above and all related wiring. The pre-tensioner seat belt system will oper- ate only when the ignition switch is in the“ON” or “START” position.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but careshould be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory problems.The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn. Theseat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain types of collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely damaged.Such non-activation does not mean some- thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that the collision forceswere not severe enough or not of the type to activate the system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is requiredby law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats SafetyRegulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac- turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, andshould properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instruction manual accompanying the child restraint sys-tem. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that may vary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.

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, slowly 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.

The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until com-pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-
dye the belts. The color may rub off and the webbing strength may be affected. Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mechanisms for positive engage- ment and release of the latch plate. Check theretractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obviouscuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from sunlight. All of these con- ditions indicate a weakening of the belt,which may adversely affect seat belt perfor- mance in an accident.

This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-bags for the driver and passengers. The SRS front airbags are designed to supple- ment the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems by provid-ing those occupants with protection againsthead and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions. The SRS front airbags, together with sensorsat the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legsand provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate to severe frontal colli- sions. The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) and the curtain airbags (if so equipped) are also designed to supplement the seat belts. The SRS side airbags provide the driver and frontpassenger with protection against chest inju- ries by deploying the bag on the side
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate childrestraint system, to reduce their risk of serious injury or death in an accident. A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the vehicle always takethe child out as well. Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped inside the vehicle, especially on hot days. Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid closed when not in us
e. Keep your vehicle
keys away from children. Never allow children to play in the trunk of your vehicle.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This workshould be done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealerperform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or death in an accident.

impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear outboard seat with protection againsthead injuries by deploying a bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives orrides in this vehicle (with infants and smallchildren in an appropriate child restraint sys- tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraintsystems” on page 4-14.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate.During sudden braking just before a col- lision, an unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or passengers can moveforward into direct contact with, or within close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate.The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes incontact with the airbag at this time. • Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrollovers, rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions, because the airbags are not designed to inflate inthose situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehicle in a collision or rollover.
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be seriously injured or killed.WA R N I N G
• Airbags inflate very quickly and withgreat force. If the driver and front pas- senger are not properly seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide the proper protection and can cause seri-ous injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always properly wear your seat belt and adjust the driver’s seatas far back as possible, maintaining a position that still allows the driver to have good control of the steering wheel,brake, accelerator, and other vehicle con- trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy- ing passenger’s airbag, make sure thepassenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all the way back in the seat, and positionsthe seat as far back as possible. • Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrained in an appropri- ate child restraint system.
 Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean your head or chest close to the steering wheel or theinstrument panel. Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instrument panel.WA R N I N G

The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. These include all of the items listed above and all related wiring. The airbags will operate
only when the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-tion. When the impact sensors detect a front or side impact sufficient to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhale the smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-tion to people with respiratory problems. After deployment, the airbags will quickly deflate, so quickly that some people may not even realize the airbags inflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being ab
le to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under- standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.
WA R N I N G Older children should
be seated in the
rear seat with their seat belt properly worn, and with an appropriate booster seat if needed. Refer to “Children who have outgrownchild restraint systems” on page 4-20.

The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s fore-aftposition. The airbag control unit controls deployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receivesfrom this sensor. If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, the SRS warning in theinstrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning” on page 4-27.
N00418000247
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat rails and provide the air- bag control unit with information regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. Theairbag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately 66pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s airbag off indicator will come on. Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” onpage 4-26. If there is a problem involving the passen- ger’s seat weight sensors, the SRS warning inthe instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning” page 4-27.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves- tigation.
Driver’s seat position sensor
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning comes on, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible. Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate correctly.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back against the seatback.Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary when driving.• Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensor inspected byan authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.
