Pregnant women restraint
E00405600064WARNINGlSeat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women should
use the available seat belts. This will re- duce the likelihood of injury to both thewoman and the unborn child. The lap belt
should be worn across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible, but not
across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or con-
cerns.Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system E00405701323
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seateach have a seat belt equipped with a preten- sioner system and force limiter system.
Pretensioner system
E00405800747
The pretensioner system will retract their re-
spective seat belts instantaneously, thus max-imizing the seat belt’s effectiveness, if there
is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger and the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
WARNINGl To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTIONl Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could affect the pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pretensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.NOTEl The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

NOTElDepending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following two ways:
• Use the lower anchorage in the rear seat
(3-door models) / second seat (5-door
models) ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 4-34).
• Using the seat belt (See page 4-35).Older children
E00406700147
Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.

Installing a child restraint sys-tem to the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child restraint mount-ings) and tether anchorage*
E00408901980
Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s rear seat (3-door models)/ second seat (5-door models) is fitted with
lower anchorages for attaching a child re- straint system with ISOFIX mountings.
Tether anchorage locations
There are 2 attachment points on the floor, located behind the rear seat (3-door models)/
second seat (5-door models). These are for securing a child restraint system tether strap to both of the 2 rear (3-door models)/second (5-door models) seating positions in your ve-
hicle.
WARNINGl Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehi- cle.Child restraint system with
ISOFIX mountings
The child restraint system is designed only
for seats that incorporate lower anchorages.
Retain the child restraint system using the lower anchorages.
It is not necessary to retain the child restraint
system using the vehicle’s seat belts.
A: Child restraint System connectors
To install
1. Remove any foreign material in or
around the connectors and ensure the ve-
hicle seat belt is in its normal storage po-
sition.
2. Remove the head restraint from the loca-
tion in which you wish to install a child
restraint.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-12.

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 front airbags MAY DE-PLOY when…
The front airbags may deploy if the bottom ofthe vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe im-
pact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island
or kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and
hits the ground
Because the front airbags may deploy in cer- tain types of unexpected impacts as shown in
the illustration that can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you a safe distance from the steering
wheel and instrument panel during the initial
stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful andcan possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel padded cover, such as trim materi- al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occu- pant if the airbag inflates.WARNINGl Do not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not put packages, pets or other objects
between the airbags and the driver orfront passenger. It could affect airbagperformance, or could cause injury when the airbag inflates.
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.
l The airbag system is designed to work on-
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed, they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recommend
you to have the entire airbag system in- spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.Side airbag system*
E00407600198
The side airbags (A) are contained in the
driver and front passenger seatbacks.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
4-43OVWE16E1Seat and seat belts4
The side airbag is designed to inflate only onthe side of the vehicle that is impacted, evenwith no passenger in the front seat.
The label shown here is attached to the seat- backs with a side airbag.
Curtain airbag system*
E00409100243
The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve- hicle that is impacted, even with no passen- ger in the front seat or rear (3-door models)/
second (5-door models) seat.
Deployment of side airbags and
curtain airbags
E00407701301
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustra-
tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in a collision. The side airbags and curtain airbags are designed
to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu- pants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.
