upright position and the head restraint to the proper position. Sit back
against the seatback
with your head close to the head restraint.
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restrain
t is at your ear level
when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their ear level when seatedshould raise the restraint to the highest locked position.  To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.  To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow. After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
WA R N I N G Driving without the
head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or deat
h in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,always make sure the head restraints are installed and proper
ly positioned when
the seat is occupied. In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the front seat-back must be adjusted to the upright posi- tion and the head restraint to the proper position before vehi
cle operation. The
driver should never ad
just the seat while
the vehicle is in motion.
 Never place a cushion
or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasingthe distance between your head and the restraint.WA R N I N G

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.

inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
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.

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 pa
ssenger 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 ofthe vehicle is detected
, the pre-tensioner sys-
tem operates simultane
ously with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags. The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within the seat belt retractors
(A). When activated,
the pre-tensioners quickly
draw back seat belt
webbing and increase se
at belt performance.
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N GThe extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyonewho can use the standard seat belt shouldnot use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender can adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
