Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat andwear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their stomach, a commercially available
booster seat must be used to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat should fitthe vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle RestraintSystems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor- rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attachingother items, or equipment to the vehicle.
Children who have outgrown child restraint systems
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system, to reduce their risk ofserious injury or death in an accident. A child should never be left unattended in, or unsupervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the vehicle, always take the child out as well. Children can die from he
at stroke if left or
trapped inside the vehicle, especially onhot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from chil- dren.

Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mechanisms for positive engage-ment and release of the latch plate. Check the retractors for automatic locking when in the Automatic Locking Retractor function. The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing shows any obviouscuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec- tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from sunlight. All of these con-ditions indicate a weakening of the belt, which may adversely affect seat belt perfor- mance in an accident.

This vehicle is equipped with a SupplementalRestraint 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 and front passenger seat belt systems by provid- ing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air- bags, together with sensors at the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the frontseats, form an advanced airbag system. The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce theforward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate to severe frontal colli-sions. The SRS side airbags and the curtain airbags are also designed to supplement the seat belts. The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chestinjuries by deploying the bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and the passengers on the front seat and the rear outboard seats with protection against head injuries by deploying the curtain airbagon 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 complete and partial ejec- tion from the vehicle through side windows
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies. This work should be done by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer perform the work could reduce the effec- tiveness of the belts and could result in a serious injury or death in an accident.
 Never use an organic solvent to clean the seat belt webbing. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the seat belt webbing. These may weaken the seat belt webbing, increasing risk of injury or death in anaccident. Clean seat belt webbing only with mild soap or detergent solution and rinse itwith lukewarm water, and dry the seat belt webbing completely before retracting it.

NOTE
 The SOS emergency assistance (if so equipped) is designed to operate when any of the airbags deploy or severe collision occurs. Refer to “Telematics Control Unit (TCU)” on page 3-5.WA R N I N G

Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However,avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designed primarily for use onpavement, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wh
eel drive vehicles are
less capable than 4-wheel drive vehicles for driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads. Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track, which enables them to perform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear-ance, these vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave-ment. They are not designed to maneuver or corner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel drive passenger cars anymore than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in amanner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-nificantly more likely to die than a personwearing a seat belt. Before starting the vehi- cle, always make certain that you and all your passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).

Fuel economy is dependent on many factors.Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your fuel consumption.Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate slowly and smoothly. When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off.  Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures.  When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on highways or dry improved roads, set thedrive mode to “AUTO”.  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air cleaner filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according to the recom-mendations in this manual.  Always keep your vehicle well main- tained. A poorly maintained enginewastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.

Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impairedeven with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak- ing a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doctor or

We hope you will never be involved in an accident, but there is always that potentialdanger. So, please be sure to buckle up and drive safely.  Remain calm.  Check for injuries. Report all injuries to the police, and, if necessary, call for an ambulance.  Record all the details of the accident. This will provide you with accurate records of the accident for discussions with your insurance company and other personswho may be acting on your behalf.  Understand your repair estimate before approving repairs.  Choosing the repair
shop and the brands
of parts that they use on your vehicle isyour decision.
 Ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts. Many times, to save money, your insur- ance company will recommend imitation parts that do not meet the original specifi-cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship.
The strength and integrity built into your vehicle is the result of a specific design referred to as “Energy Management”. Indi-vidual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock waves are absorbed by protective panels or are chan-neled around the passenger compartment. This important feature is possible because high tensile steel is used in the panels andstructural parts, something that cannot be guaranteed by the manufacturers of imitation parts. All genuine body panels and supportbrackets are designed and constructed as important protection features in the event of an accident. By replacing body parts withimitations, your vehicle may no longer meet original equipment specifications.
