pain due to age, ill-
ness, injury, medication, alcohol use,fatigue or other phys
ical conditions or
who have sensitive sk
in may suffer burns
when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position for quick heating. After the seat has become warm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi-tion to keep it warm. Sl
ight variations in the
seat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operationof the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate
a malfunction.
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or
other pointed objects
into the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while usingthe heater; doing so can
cause the heater ele-
ment to overheat. When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoli
ne, alcohol, or other organic
solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to theheater.
 If water or any other li
quid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heateroff immediately if it
appears to be malfunc-
tioning during use.

All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-
and-shoulder belt with
an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It permits full extension andautomatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation.
A sensing device
WA R N I N GTo help reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident, se
at belts and child
restraint systems must always be used.Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-14 for additional information. Never use one seat belt
for more than one
person.  Never carry more peop
le in you
r vehicle
than there are seat belts.  Always adjust the seat
belt for a snug fit.
Always place the shou
lder belt over your
shoulder and across
your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.  Always wear the lap be
lt as low as possible
across your hips, not around your waist. Never insert any foreig
n 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 durin
g deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e 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 a deploying airbag, make sure the passengeralways 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 4-22 for additional information. 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 even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.WA R N I N G
 Children 12 years ol
d and under should
always ride in the re
ar seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk ofserious injury or de
ath in an accident,
especially due to a deploying front passen- ger’s airbag. Refer to
“Child restraint sys-
tems” on page 4-
14 for additional
information. Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt
must be properly
restrained in an appropriate childrestraint system. Infants MUST be plac
ed in a rear-facing
child safety seat and
positioned in the rear
seat. In the event of an ac
cident, all seat belt
assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.

1. Occupants should always
sit back in their
seats with their backs against the uprightseatback. To reduce
the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of the airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far backas possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily control the steering wheel,and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-22. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-3.
2. Grasp the latch plat
e and slide it up the
webbing so that it easily pulls across your body.
NOTE
 For instructions on installing a child restraint system using a seat belt
, refer to “Installing a
child restraint system
using the seat belt” on
page 4-19.
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 inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

out, pull it once with force and let it retract all the way. Then, pull the belt out
slowly once again.
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 th
e retractor, the retrac-
tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function
(see page 4-19).
When the ALR function has been activated,the seat belt will only re
tract. If this happens,
let the belt fully retract, then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
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 thisinstruction will increase the risk of serious injury 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 retrac
t smoothly. If the seat
belt and ring are dirty, clean them with a mild soap or detergent solution.

The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components: The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The seat belt pre-te
nsioners will operate
under the same conditions as the airbag con- trol unit. When the seat belt pr
e-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. The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe front or side impact, evenif the seat belt is not
being worn. The seat belt
pre-tensioners may not activate in certain col- lisions, even though the vehicle may appearto be severely damage
d. Such non-activation
does not mean that something is wrong with the seat belt pre-tens
ioner system, but rather
that the collision fo
rces were not severe
enough to activate the system.

The outboard seating posi
tions in the rear seat
of your vehicle are equipped with lower anchors for attaching ch
ild restraint systems
compatible with the LATCH system.
N00418901230
Your vehicle has 3 at
tachment points on the
rear shelf, located behind the top of your rear seat. These are for securing a child restraintsystem tether strap to each of the 3 rear seat- ing positions in your vehicle.
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the rear seat to ensureproper fit. Due to the location of the seat beltbuckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to
securely install some
manufacturer’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 be
lt has been tightened,
choose another ma
nufacturer’s child restraint
system. Depending on the seating position in thevehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can be attached using one of the following 2 meth-ods: • Attach to the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint system is compatible with the LATCH system (See page 4-17). • Attach to the seat
belt (See page 4-19).

5. 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 child restraint system will not be secure. It may help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (See illustration). 6. Open the cover from the tether anchor installation point by
pulling it back with
your hand as illustrated below (6).
7. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint system to the tether anchor(B) as illustrated below (7) and tighten the top tether strap so it is securely fastened. 8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull the restra
int in all directions
to be sure it is firmly secure. Do this before each use. If
the child restraint sys-
tem is not firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and deactivate the ALR mode,remove the child from the restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from the restraint and let the belt fullyretract.
10. Reinstall the head restraint.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-5.

Children who have outgr
own a child restraint
system should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/
or the lap belt crosses
their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used to raise the child sothat the shoulder belt
crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The
booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Mo
tor Vehicle Restraint
Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harn
esses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehi-cle.

the driver and passengers on the front seat and 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 help reduce the risk of comp
lete and partial ejec-
tion from the vehicle through side windows in both side impact a
nd rollover type acci-
dents. The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts mustALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle
(with infants and small
children in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-14.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. Thisreduces the risk of injury in all collisions,and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate. During sudden braking just before a col-lision, an unrestra
ined or improperly
restrained driver or passengers can move forward into direct contact with, orwithin close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate. The beginning stage of
airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes in contact with the ai
rbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions because the air- bags are not designed
to inflate in those
situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be seriously inju
red or killed.
WA R N I N G
• Airbags inflate ve
ry quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas-senger are not properly seated andrestrained, the airbag may not provide the proper protection, and can cause serious injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death
due to a deploying
driver’s airbag, al
ways properly wear
your seat belt and adju
st the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining aposition that still allows the driver to have good control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle con-
trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or
death from a deploy-
ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat beltproperly, remains seat
ed upright and all
the way back in the
seat, and positions
the seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrain
ed in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.
 Airbags inflate very
quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your
lower legs too close to
the instrument panel,
or lean your head or
chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument panel. Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instrument panel.WA R N I N G
