Installing a child restraint sys-tem to the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child restraint mount-ings) and tether anchorage
E00406901944
Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s front passenger seat and rear seat is fitted with lower anchorages for at-
taching a child restraint system with ISOFIX mountings.
Tether anchorage location
Your vehicle has 3 child restraint anchoragepoints on the backside of the front passenger seat and rear seats. These are for securing a
child restraint system tether strap to each of the 3 seating positions in your vehicle.
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.

Installation:
1. Put a child restraint system on the seat in
which you wish to install it, and remove
the head restraint from the seat.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 5-05.
2. When installing a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat, adjust seat slide to its most rearward position and
adjust the front seatback angle to 2 steps
rearward from the first locking position.
3. Route the belt through the child restraint
according to the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions, then insert
the latch plate into the buckle.
4. Remove all slack of a lap belt by pulling
the webbing through the belt’s adjust-
ment feature.
3-point type seat belt requires no length adjustment, remove all slack by usingthe locking clip.
5. If your child restraint system has a sup-
port leg, make sure that there is a sup-
port leg at the stable position on the
floor.
6. Before putting the child in the restraint,
push and pull the restraint in all direc- tions to be sure it is secure. Do this be-
fore each use.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
E00406301850
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
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.

WARNINGlPlace 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.WARNINGl Older children should be seated in the
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,with an appropriate booster seat if nee- ded.Caution for installing the child

Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
E00410100315
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
can be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If you have a child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch be-
fore using it.
(Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page
5-30)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is located as shown in the illustration.
Front passenger’s airbag indi-
cator
E00410201414
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is lo-
cated in the instrument panel.
Except for RussiaFor Russia
The both indicator normally comes on when
the operation mode of the power switch is put
in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. When the front pas-
senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi- nute to show that the front passenger’s airbagis operational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301174WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF, before operating
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after putting the operation mode
in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so could lead to improper position of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.

WARNING•Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a child restraint system is fitted to the
front passenger seat.
• If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON- OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a
child restraint system to the front pas- senger seat. We recommend you to
have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
• If the OFF indicator remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow any- one to sit on the front passenger seat.
We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
3- Pitch end over end
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and
passenger seat belts in certain side im- pacts. Seat belts should always be wornproperly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
l The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate
with great force. The driver and passen-
ger should not put their arms out of the window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce the risk of serious or possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbag and curtain airbag.WARNINGl Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from the
deploying side airbag. Special care should
be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side air-bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags.
Do not re-cover seats that have side air-
bags. This could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force orthe curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.
