When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small ch
ildren are offered by
several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint syst
em should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your
vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information, refer to the instruc-tion manual accompanying the child restraint system. All children should be
properly restrained in
a restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child si
ze 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 ch
ild safety seat that
MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
 Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat. Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regard
less of age, should
use a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until
the vehicle’s lap-and-
shoulder belt fits
them properly.
WA R N I N GThe seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to work only
once. After the seat
belt pre-tensioners have been activated,they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt pre-tensioner system inspected by anauthorized Mitsubis
hi Motors dealer.

Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are
safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat, rather than in the front seat. Be sure to select a child restraint system that is appropriate not only for the child’s size and age but also for your vehicle.Some child restraint systems may not fit your vehicle properly.

WA R N I N G NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This pl
aces the infant too
close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously inju
red or killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be usedin the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward po
sition and make sure
the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with thei
r seat belt properly
worn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed.Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint systems” on page 4-20.

The passenger’s seat oc
cupant classification
sensor system is attached to the front passen-ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con- trol unit with inform
ation regarding the
occupant on the front passenger seat. The air-bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this system. The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenger seat or a child in a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger’s airbag off indicator will illuminate.Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 4-26. If there is a problem involving the passen-ger’s seat occupant cl
assification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on.Refer to “SRS warning light” page 4-27.
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning
light comes on, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possi- ble. 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 thannecessary when driving.• Do not place metallic objects or luggageunder the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensor inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as
soon as possible.

ignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON, and goes out a few seconds later. In the following situ- ations, the indicator will stay on to show thatthe passenger front airb
ag is not operational.
 The front passenger seat is not occupied.  The system senses that a child is using a child restraint system on the front passen-ger seat.
When the passenger’s se

• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place and use
an electronic device
such as a computer on the seat.• Do not place heavy objects on the seat orstick pins, needles, or other objects into it.• Do not remove the seat cushion skin.• If any liquid is spilled on the seat, wipe it and dry the seat immediately.
 If the vehicle is
involved in a severe
impact, have the SRS sensors inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as
soon as possible.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe fro
ntal impact. A typical
condition is shown in th
e illustration to the
left. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration tothe right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does
not bend or deform. If
the impact to the vehicle’s main structure isbelow this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. This threshold level may also
be higher if the vehi-
cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example, another stationary vehi
cle, a pole or a guard
rail). The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful, and can
cause serious injury or
death if you are too clos
e to the deploying air-
bag. Accordingly, it
is important that you
always wear the available seat belt.
In certain types of fr
ont collisions, the front
airbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, be
cause the vehicle’s body
structure is designed to absorb the impact anddeform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air- bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the occupant in all types offrontal collisions, be su
re to always wear your
seat belts properly.
