The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt equippe
d with a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system. The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys- tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or side collision or when a rollover or overturning ofthe vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys- tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags. The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located within
the seat belt retractors (A). When activated,the pre-tensioners quickly
draw back seat belt
webbing and increase se
at belt performance.
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N GThe extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyonewho can use the standard seat belt shouldnot use an extender.
Unnecessary use of an
extender can adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unbornchildren in an accident, pregnant womenshould always wear
a seat belt. The lap
portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and low across the hips and belowthe rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional qu
estions or concerns.

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 MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be 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 properlyrestrained 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’s size 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. Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are we
aring your seat belt.
Never place any part of the seat belt youare wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the event of an accident or sudden stop.WA R N I N G

The seat belt webbing
may be cleaned with
mild soap or detergent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in theshade. 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 thewebbing strength may be affected.
Regularly check your seat 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 sunl
ight. All of these con-
ditions indicate a we
akening of the belt,
which may adversely affect 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 wi
th protection against
head and chest injuries
in certain moderate to
severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air- bags, together with sens
ors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the frontseats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primar
y protection of the
driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased
overall body protection
in certain moderate to
severe frontal colli-
sions. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supplement the seat belts.The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with protection 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 passengers on the front seatand rear outboard seat
with protection against
head injuries by deploying the curtain airbag on the side impacted
in moderate to severe
side impact collisions
and by deploying both
curtain airbags when a rollover is detected. The curtain airbags are also designed to helpreduce the risk of comp
lete and partial ejec-
WA R N I N GAny child who is t
oo small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properlyrestrained in an appropriate childrestraint system, to reduce their risk of serious 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 on hot days. Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from children. Never allow children to play in the trunk of your vehicle.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
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 deal
er. 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.

The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating; Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
rear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat.
Special care should be
taken with children. Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Such objects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment, and
cause injury during
deployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbag deployment.
WA R N I N G Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where thecurtain airbag deploys
, such as on the
windshield, side door
glass or front and
rear pillars and roof
side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates, the microphone orother object may be
hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting
in death or serious
injury.WA R N I N G Do not install seat c
overs or re-cover seats
that have side airbag
s. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system must be used in the front passenger seat,move the seat as far
back as possible, and
make sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door. Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head sh
ould also not lean
against or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located. It is dangerous ifthe side airbag or cu
rtain airbag deploys.
Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious in
jury or death to the
child. Work done on or in th
e vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain
airbag components
should be done only
by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a riskof a serious injury
or death. Improper
work methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain ai
rbag deployment, or
render a side airb
ag or curtain airbag
inoperable. Either of these situations could result in seri
ous injury or death.
