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.

The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionand goes out a few seconds later. In the following situa
tions, the indicator will
stay on to show that the passenger’s front air-bag is not operational. The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passenger seat. The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passen- ger seat is sensed to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator goesout to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.

To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors can correctly sense the weightbeing applied to the seat, observe the fol- lowing instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect the per-formance of the passenger’s airbag sys- tem.• 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 thannecessary.• Never have more than one person (adultor child) sitting on the seat.• Do not place anything between the seatand the floor console.• Do not hang anything on the front pas-senger’s seatback.• Do not remove the head restraints.• When attaching a child restraint system,secure it firmly.
• Do not place luggage or other objects on the seat.• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not modify or replace the seat andseat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place the floor mat on the seatrails.• Do not expose the sensors to liquids orvapors.• Do not subject the sensors to shock.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to push the front passenger seat with their feet or force the front passenger seat upward.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to graspthe front passenger’s seatback or put their arms around it.• When attaching a child restraint systemin the rear seat, make sure it does notinterfere with the front seat.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the following: Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors are locked.
Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still keeping good visibil- ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls.Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible problem. Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible. Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance withall laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-6, 7-12, 7-17, 7-22, 7-27.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressures.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distancesresulting in a crash and injury. Always make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floormat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle ev
en if it is a Mit-
subishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean-ing the inside of your vehicle or for any other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein-stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with the engine off, check that the floor mat is not interfering with the pedals by depressingthe pedals fully.

N00945800046
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings,tree sap, insect remains, sea water and otherforeign matters can damage the finish on your vehicle. Generally, the longer any foreign materialstays on the finish, the worse the damage. Wash your vehicle as s
oon as possible when-
ever the finish gets soiled.
NOTE
Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro- tectants containing silicones or wax. Such products, when applied to the instru- ment panels or other parts, may cause reflec- tions on the windshield and obscure vision.Also, if such products get on the switches of the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail- ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
NOTE
If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow. The genuine leather surface can be damaged if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush. Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, acid or alkaline solvents can discolor the genuine leather surface and should not be used. Genuine leather seats can mildew if not kept clean. Clean up any oil stains immediately.
The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlight for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate andstick to the seat.
