Child restraint systems 4-26 Seat and restraint systems

Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered byseveral 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 system should be appropri- ate for your child’s we
ight and height, and
should properly fit you
r 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 maximum
protection for their size and age. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.
 Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride in a rear-facing ch
ild safety seat that
MUST ONLY be used in the second row seat. Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe 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, regardless of age, shoulduse a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and- shoulder belt fits
them properly.
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’ssize and age but also for your vehicle. Some child restraint systems may not fit your vehicle properly.
 Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rearseat and wear the la
p-and-shoulder belt
properly. The shoulder belt must be posi- tioned over the shou
lder and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with thelap belt positioned low on the child’s hips, not across their stomach. If necessary, a booster seat should be used to help achievea proper seat belt fi
t. Follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that is certified as comply-ing with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys- tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-tions. WA R N I N G

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-89. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by theFCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applied, the brake pedal willfeel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply
greater braking force.
 During the automatic
braking, operating
sounds may be heard. This is normal.
WA R N I N G The FCM will not ac
tivate and will not
provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector le
ver is in a position
other than the “D

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13
6
Choose a proper hitch and ball, and make sure it is installed at a height that is compati- ble with the trailer.Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformly distributes the trailer tongue load throughout the frame. A safety chain must al
ways be used between
the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave suf- ficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain
should cross under the trailer tongue to pre- vent the tongue from dropping to the groundin case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chai
n procedures, consult
your authorized Mitsub
ishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”. Especially important in trailer operation are manual transaxle oil, automatic transaxle fluid, engine oi
l, rear axle oil, belt,
cooling system and brake system. Each of these is covered in this manual. For details, please refer to the “Vehicle careand maintenance” section. Check periodically to se
e that all hitch nuts
and bolts are tight.
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total we
ight of 1,250 lbs (567
kg) or more (2400 models), 1,400 lbs (635kg) or more (3000 mode
ls) be equipped with
its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric br
akes, be sure they are
electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat- ter how successful it
may seem, any attempt
to attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic system will lower braking effec- tiveness and create a potential hazard. Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your local
recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, and use only equipment designed for your vehi-cle. Since lighting and wiring vary by trailer type and brand, you should have a qualified tech- nician install a suitable
connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper equipment or installation can cause
damage to your vehi-
Trailer hitches
WA R N I N GIf you make any holes in the body of your vehicle for installing
a trailer hitch, be
sure to seal the holes later when you remove the hitch. If
you don’t seal them,
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can enter your vehicle. Refer to “Exhaust system” on page 9-24.NOTE
 Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used whenever you are towing, to improve towing stability. For further informati
on, please contact your
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTIONNever tow a trailer wi
thout using a safety
chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the
coupling unit or hitch
ball experiences a probl
em, the trailer may
separate from
your vehicle.
