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 and automatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation. A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change in the vehicle’s motion.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death during deployment of the driver’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 andupright in their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” onpage 4-30 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 youare wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the event of an accident or sudden stop.WA R N I N G
 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’s airbag. Refer to “Child restraint sys- tems” on page 4-22 for additional information. Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properlyrestrained in an appropriate child restraint system. Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat and positioned in the rear seat. In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies, including retractors andattachment hardware, should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacementis necessary.

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 4-30. Also refer to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 4-4.
2. Before using the rear center seat belt, make sure that the detachable anchor is securely latched and the seat belt is nottwisted. For details, refer to page 4-17.
3. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing 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.
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 seatbacksare reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If theseat belt is not properly positioned against the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious injury or death.

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 totake up any slack in the lap belt.
6. To release the belt, press the button on the buckle and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists in thewebbing. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.
NOTE
 If the seat belt locks up and cannot be pulled 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 the retractor, the retrac-tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see page 4-27). 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 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 retract smoothly. If the seat belt and ring are dirty, clean them with amild soap or detergent solution.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system and force limiter system.
The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or side collision or when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-tem operates simultaneously with the deploy- ment of the front airbags, side airbags or curtain airbags.The seat belt pre-tensioners are located in thedriver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac- tors (A) and final anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw back seat beltwebbing and increase seat belt performance. The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These include all of the items listed above and all relatedwiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ]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.
