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.

SRS warning lamp
E00405900083
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS air-

“SRS warning lamp” on page 4-47.
Force limiter system
E00406000153
In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load ap- plied to the seat belt to minimize the impact
to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406403233
When transporting children in your vehicle,some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil- dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.
WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.WARNINGl Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint system
to the rear seat, prevent the front seat- backs from touching the child restraintsystem.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicle with frontpassenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger’s airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
NEVER use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVEAIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI- OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.NOTEl The labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
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.)

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.

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.
