WARNINGlA REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child. A rearward facing child restraint must only be used inthe rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward
position.Infants and small children
E00406602166
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THECHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
l Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it in the rear seat to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt buckles and
the shape of the seat cushion, it may be
difficult to securely install some manu- facturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another manufac- turer’s child restraint system.WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.

2.Fasten the seat belt to secure the child
restraint system. Make sure you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate in
the buckle.
3. Remove all slack by using the locking
clip.
4. Push and pull the child restraint in all di-
rections to be sure it is secure.WARNINGl For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid personal injury during a collision or sud-den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when the child restraint is removed.Seat belt inspection

l Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if it is defective.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do
not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts
because this will affect their characteris-
tics.WARNINGl We recommend you to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at- taching hardware inspected after any col- lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re- placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom- mend you to have this work done by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace- ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.WARNINGl Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re- tractor.Supplemental restraint
system (SRS) - airbag E00407203397
The information written in this Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) section contains im- portant points concerning the driver, front
passenger, side and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air- bags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those oc- cupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air- bags employ a dual stage airbag system. The
SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbag is controlled by the impact sensors (at the frontof the vehicle) and the control unit (near the
centre of the vehicle at floor level).
Seat belt inspection
4-36OVWE16E1Seat and seat belts4
The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen- ger with protection against chest injury in
certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli- sions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection against head injuries in cer-tain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-sions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts; for maximum protection in all types of
crashes and accidents, seat belts should AL- WAYS be worn by everyone who drives or
rides in this vehicle.How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407302939
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-
tion.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud noise, and releases some smoke and
powder, but these conditions are not injuri- ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel some temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy- ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts, bruises, and the like.

WARNINGlIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and passengers are not prop-
erly seated and restrained, the airbags may not protect you properly, and could
cause serious or fatal injuries when it in- flates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Do not put feet or
legs on or against the instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap- propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-40.)Front passenger’s airbag ON
