6. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint system to the tether anchorbar (B) and tighten the tether strap so it is securely fastened. 
7. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull the restraint in all directionsto be sure it is firmly secure. Do this before each use. If the child restraint sys- tem is not firmly s 
ecure, repeat steps 1 
through 6. 8. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and deac 
tivate the ALR mode, 
remove the child from the restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Th 
en remove the belt 
from the restraint and let the belt fully retract. 9. Reinstall the head restraint.Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-10.

Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/ 
or the lap belt crosses 
their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used to raise the child sothat the shoulder belt 
 crosses their shoulder 
and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat should fitthe vehicle seat and ha 
ve a label certifying 
compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Mo 
tor Vehicle Restraint 
Systems and Booster Se 
ats Safety Regula- 
tions.

The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use anorganic 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.
NOTE
 If it is difficult to la
tch the tether strap hook, 
turn the hook sideways.WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with 
stand loads from cor- 
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.
Children who have outgrown  child restraint systems 
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 child restraint system, to reduce their risk ofserious injury or de 
ath in an 
accident.
A child should never be
 left unattended in, 
or unsupervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the ve 
hicle, always take 
the child out as well. Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped inside the vehicle, especially onhot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from chil- dren.

Regularly check your se 
at belt buckles and 
their release mechanisms 
 for positive engage- 
ment and release of the  
latch plate. Check the 
retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec- tion of the webbing from broken fibers, orsevere fading from sunlig 
ht. All of these con- 
ditions indicate a weakening of the belt, which may adversely affe 
ct seat belt perfor- 
mance in an accident.

This vehicle is equippe 
d 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 andfront passenger seat belt systems by provid- ing those occupants w 
ith protection against 
head and chest injuries  
in certain moderate to 
severe frontal collisi 
ons. The SRS front air- 
bags, together with sensors at the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the frontseats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supp 
lement the seat belts. 
The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with pr 
otection against chest 
injuries by deploying the bag on the sideimpacted in moderate  
to severe side impact 
collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and the passengers on the front seatand the second row outboard seats with pro- tection against head injuries by deploying the curtain airbag on the side impacted in moder-ate to severe side im 
pact collisions and by 
deploying both curtain airbags when a roll- over is detected. The curtain airbags are alsodesigned to help reduce the risk of complete and partial ejection from the vehicle through side windows in both side impact and roll-over type  
accidents. 
The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of accident 
s, seat belts must 
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or 
rides in this vehicle  
(with infants and small 
children in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-25.
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 Mitsub 
ishi Motors dealer 
perform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or de 
ath in an accident.
Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem (SRS) - airbag 
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 unrestra 
ined or 
improperly 
restrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with, orwithin close proximi 
ty 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 in contact with the airbag at this time.• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions because the air- bags are not designed to inflate in those situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi 
cle in a collision or 
rollover.

Advanced automobile  
manufacturing tech- 
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m 
oderate speeds during 
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati 
on, prolonged high- 
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th 
is could ultimately 
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T 
railer towing” on page 
6-11).

rtain conditions) using 
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program 
med to the vehicle’s 
electronics.
• Keep away from devi 
ces that produce mag- 
netism, such as audio systems, computersand televisions. • Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagneti 
c waves, such as cellular 
phones, wireless devices and high fre- quency equipment (i 
ncluding medical 
devices). • Do not clean with  
ultrasonic cleaners. 
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity. 
 If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle immediatel 
y contact an autho- 
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of the key number, they canmake a new key. The key number is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key num- ber plate in a safe pl 
ace separate from the 
key itself.  No keys other than those registered in advance can be used to start the engine.

Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized Mitsubi 
shi Motors dealer by 
referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for thevehicle keys must be changed. 
Take your vehicle and  
all remaining keys to 
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer tohave your ID code changed. To add a key, you must already have 2 regis- tered keys. You need to register the ID code to the vehicle. Registering the ID code can be done by your- self (except for vehicles 
 sold in Canada), or 
by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.For you to register the ID code yourself, fol- low the “Customer key programming” proce- dure below.If you choose to have  
your authorized Mit- 
subishi Motors dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and  
all remaini
ng keys to 
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid (alr 
eady registered) keys 
and blank immobilizer ke 
y (specially cut for 
your vehicle at your Mitsubishi Motorsdealer) by doing the following: 1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch and turn the key to the “ON” posi-tion for 5 seconds. 2. Turn the key to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position and remove the first key.3. Within 30 seconds of removing the first key, insert the second valid key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position.About 10 seconds la 
ter, the immobilizer 
display will start to blink. 
4. When the immobilizer display starts blinking, turn the second valid key to the“OFF” or “LOCK” position and remove it. Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blank immobilizer ke 
y into the ignition 
switch and turn it to the “ON” position. Perform this operation no more than 30 seconds after the immobilizer displaystarts blinking. When registration of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer dis- play will come on for 30 seconds then go off. If an error occurs, the blinking immo- bilizer display will  
go off during the pro- 
cedure. Type 1 Type 2 5. If you wish to register another key, per- form the process again from step 1.

NOTE
 Perform the operation when the interrupt dis- play screen is not show 
ing. The interrupt dis- 
play screen may prevent you from seeing theimmobilizer display.  It is not possible to
 register a key if: 
• the immobilizer disp 
lay goes off during the 
procedure • the immobilizer disp 
lay does not come on 
within 30 seconds after step 4. 
 The procedure will be terminated automati- cally if: • a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the moment when the first key isturned to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position to the moment when the second key is turned to the “ON” position • a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the moment when the second key isturned to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key is turned to the “ON” position
