The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate under the same conditions as the airbag con- trol unit. When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released and a loud noise willbe heard. The smoke is not harmful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it may cause some temporary irritation topeople with respiratory problems. Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre- tensioners will not operate if the seat belts arenot fastened. The seat belt pre-tensioners maynot activate in certain
collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear to be severely dam- aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with the seat belt pre-ten- sioner system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe enough to activate thesystem.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is requiredby law in the U.S. and Canada. 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 weight and height, and should properly fit your 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 as specifiedby local, state, or provincial laws. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 2 years 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 2 years of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) orwho are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners have been activated, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt pre-tensioner system inspected by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger’s airbag. Never put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.
Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If one must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child. It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant isone year old (unless the infant outgrows the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to sup-port the weight of their head in the event of an accident. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to your child in anaccident or sudden stop.
 After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back
and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehicle, in order to pre-vent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident. When attaching a child restraint system to the rear seat, prevent the front seatbacks from touching the child restraint system.Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in the event of hard braking or a collision.WA R N I N G

1. Remove the head restraint from the loca- tion in which you wish to install a child restraint system. Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-9.2. Adjust the seat where the child restraint system will be installed to the most rear- ward position.3. Adjust the seatback of the seat where the child restraint system will be installed as follows.[For front passenger’s seat]Adjust the seatback angle to six steps rearward from the most upright position. Refer to “Front seats:
To adjust the seat-
backs” on page 4-5. [For rear seats] Adjust the seatback angle to four stepsrearward from the most upright position. Refer to “Rear seats: To adjust the seat- backs” on page 4-7.4. Place the child restraint system on the seat. 5. Route the seat belt through the childrestraint system according to the instruc- tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem’s manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into the buckle. Make sure you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
6. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of theretractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 7. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and youwill need to repeat steps 6 and 7. 8. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near thebuckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to feed into the retractor. Remember,if the lap belt portion is not tight, the childrestraint system will not be secure. It may help to put your weight on the child restraint system and/or push on its seat-back while pulling up on the belt (See illustration). 9. Push and pull the ch
ild restraint system in
all directions to check that it is installed securely.If the child restraint system is not installed securely, proceed to step 10.

1. After unlocking, push the liftgate open switch (A) and pull up the liftgate.
WA R N I N G Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally opened by a passen-ger, especially by a child who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of someone being thrownfrom the vehicle in an accident.
Liftgate
WA R N I N G The luggage compartment was not designed for people to ride in it. Do not letpassengers ride in or let children play in the luggage compartment. Riding or play- ing in the luggage compartment couldresult in a serious accident or injury. Before driving, be sure that the liftgate is securely closed. It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open
since carbon monox-
ide (CO) gas contained in engine exhaust gases can enter the passenger compart- ment.CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death. In addition, if the liftgate opens whiledriving, luggage could fall onto the road and cause an accident.
 When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure that there are no people nearby and be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc. If snow or ice has accumulated on the lift- gate, remove it before opening the liftgate. Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly closedue to the weight of the snow or ice. When opening the liftgate, always fully open it. A partially opened liftgate can unexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgate may be greater or less than expected.The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading luggage. Heat fromthe exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure that area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.WA R N I N G
NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-key operation (vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift-gate.
