To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint is at your eye level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their eye level when seatedshould raise the restraint to the highest locked position.
 To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.  To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow. After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
Press the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrows. Then pull the head restraint up and out of the seatback.
First check that the head restraint is facing in the right direction as shown in the previous illustration, and then insert it into the seat-back. Push the head restraint down while pressing the lock knob (A) until the restraint locks into place.
WA R N I N G Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints areinstalled and properly positioned when the seat is occupied. In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the front seat- back must be adjusted to the upright posi-tion, the rear seatback to the normal seating position, and the head restraint to the proper position before vehicle opera-tion. The driver should never adjust the seat while the vehicle is in motion. Never place a cushion or similar device on the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasingthe distance between your head and the restraint.

Extending a luggage com- partment
WA R N I N G Never adjust the seats to extend a luggage compartment while the vehicle is inmotion or on a slope. The seats could move suddenly and cause serious injury or an accident. After returning a seatback to its normal position, make sure that the seatback isfirmly secured. If the seatback is not secured, it could move and cause a serious accident. Do not allow anyone to
ride in the luggage
compartment while the vehicle is inmotion. People who are not properly seated and restrained can be seriously injured or killed in an accident.
 The luggage compartment in the rear of the vehicle should never be used as a play area by children. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection fortheir size and age. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-19. The front passenger seat is equipped with weight sensors. Depending on the weight detected, the front passenger airbag is dis-abled or enabled. When folding the rear seats forward for increased cargo capac- ity, the front passenger seat and seatbackmust be adjusted to assure they are not contacting the rear seat. In the event the front seat or seatback is allowed to contactthe folded rear seat, proper operation of the front passenger airbag system may be affected.CAUTION In the luggage compartment, do not load the luggage higher than the top of the seats and make sure that the luggage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or unsecured objects entering the passenger compartment from the luggage compartment during sudden brak-ing can cause serious injury or an accident. Seatbacks should always be folded and put back into normal position by an adult. Seat adjustments by a child could lead to an unex- pected accident.WA R N I N G

N00406201500
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt withan emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts during nor-mal vehicle operation. A sensing deviceinside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change in the vehicle’s motion.
 Never insert any foreign object, such as a piece of plastic, paper clip, button or coin, into the seat belt buckle. Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle. To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death during deployment of thedriver’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a posi-tion that still enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to a front seat passen- ger of serious injury or death from adeploying airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back and upright in their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen-tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-26 for additional information.WA R N I N G
 Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle even when you are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or child.Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the event of an accident orsudden stop. Children 12 years old and under should always ride in the rear seat and be prop- erly restrained. This reduces their risk of serious injury or death in an accident,especially due to a deploying front passen- ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint sys- tems” on page 4-19 for additionalinformation. Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat and positioned in the rearseat. In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.WA R N I N G

1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple-mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-26. Also refer to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 4-3.
2. Before using the rear center seat belt, make sure that the detachable anchor issecurely latched and the seat belt is not twisted. For details, refer to page 4-14. 3. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up thewebbing so that it easily pulls across your body.
4. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate. Push the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click”. Pull up on the belt to be sure the latch plate islocked securely in the buckle. 5. The lap part of the belt must always be worn low and snug across the hips. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt to take up any slack in the lap belt.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion.Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned againstthe body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
NOTE
 If the seat belt locks up and cannot be pulled out, pull it once with force and let it retractall the way. Then, pull the belt out slowly once again.

The rear center seat belt can be detached to help avoid damage caused by an object in the
luggage compartment while the driver’s side rear seat back is folded down. 1. Pull the seat belt out slowly and pass it through the seat belt guide (A).
NOTE
 With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi- tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock-ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac- tor will switch to its ALR child restraintinstallation function (see page 4-23). When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt will only retract. If this happens,let the belt fully retract, then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through 5.WA R N I N G Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn as low as possible across the hips, not around the waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase the risk of seriousinjury or death in the
event of an accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when worn. Twisted webbing may adversely affect seat belt performance.NOTE
 If the seat belt (A) or ring (B) becomes dirty, the belt may not retract smoothly. If the seat belt and ring are dirty, clean them with a mild soap or detergent solution.
