With the exception of the driver, the seat beltin all other seating pos
itions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor(ALR) mode. This mean
s that when you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, theretractor will switch to its ALR child restraint
installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint installation function when youinstall a child restraint system using the seatbelt.Children 12 years old and under shouldalways be restrained in the rear seat, when-ever possible, although the front passengerseat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system on the seatwhere you wish to install it.To help assure proper fitting of the childrestraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint.When installing the front-facing childrestraint system on the second row seat,adjust the angle of the second row seat-back to the most upright position.
When using a child restraint in a rearseating position, always review theinstructions provided with that restraintto make sure it is compatible with thisvehicle and to understand how to properlyinstall it.Child restraints, incl
uding booster seats,
come in different sizes and configurations.Depending on where you
place these child
restraints, and depending on their size andconfiguration, you may not be able toaccess or properly use one or more adja-cent seat belt assemblies. If this occurs,the adjacent seating po
sition or positions
should not be used. Failure to use a seatbelt or improper use of a seat belt canresult in serious inju
ry or death should a
crash occur.

N00407701889
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 w
ith protection against
head and chest injuries
in certain moderate to
severe frontal collisi
ons. The SRS front air-
bags, together with sensors at the front of thevehicle and sensors attached to the frontseats, form an advanced airbag system.The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed tosupplement the primary protection of thedriver’s seat belt system. It can reduce theforward movement of the driver’s lower legsand provide increased
overall body protection
in certain moderate to
severe frontal colli-
sions.The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbagsare also designed to supp
lement the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags provide the driver andfront passenger with pr
otection 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 the passengers on the front seatand the second row outboard seats with pro-tection against head injuries by deploying thecurtain airbag on the si
de impacted in moder-
ate to severe side imp
act collisions and by
deploying both curtain
airbags when a roll-
over is detected. The curtain airbags are alsodesigned to help reduce the risk of completeand partial ejection fro
m the vehicle through
side windows in both side impact and roll-over type accidents.The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for useof the seat belts. For maximum protection inall types of accident
s, seat belts must
ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives orrides 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 restraintsystems” on page 4-27.
WA R N I N GDo not attempt to repair or replace anypart of the seat belt assemblies. This workshould be done
by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to havean authorized Mits
ubishi Motors dealer
perform the work could reduce the effec-tiveness of the belts and could result in aserious injury or de
ath in an accident.
Never use an organic solvent to clean theseat belt webbing. Do not attempt tobleach or re-dye th
e seat belt webbing.
These may weaken the
seat belt webbing,
increasing risk of in
jury or death in an
accident.Clean seat belt webbing only with mildsoap or detergent solution and rinse itwith lukewarm water, and dry the seatbelt webbing completely before retractingit.

The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less.The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch 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 whichcrashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they haveaccess to the vehicle or the EDR.

The side airbag and curtain airbag aredesigned to deploy when the vehicle suffers amoderate to seve
re side impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment.Also when the vehicle
detects rollover of the
vehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy.Typical situations are shown in the illustra-tion.
WA R N I N GDo not put a hanger or any heavy orpointed object on the coat hook. If the cur-tain airbag was activated, any such itemcould be propelled aw
ay with great force
and could prevent th
e curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directlyon the coat hook (without using a hanger).Make sure there are no heavy or sharpobjects in the pocket
s of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.Do not install seat cove
rs 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 restraintsystem in the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat.Front-facing child restraint systemsshould also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint systemmust be used in the front passenger seat,move the seat as far back as possible, andmake sure that the child stays in the childrestraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sitclose to the passenger door, even if thechild is seated in a child restraint system.The child’s head should also not leanagainst or be close to the section of theseatback 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 instructionscould 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 Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of aserious injury or death. Improper workmethods can cause acci
dental side airbag
or curtain airbag depl
oyment, or render a
side airbag or curtai
n airbag inoperable.
Either of these situations could result inserious injury or death.WA R N I N G
