Seat belts work for
everyone, including preg-
nant women. Like al
l occupants, pregnant
women are more likely to be seriously injuredor killed in an accide
nt if they do not wear
seat belts.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt equippe
d 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 sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning of the 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 in the driver’s and front passe
nger’s seat belt retrac-
tors (A) and in the front passenger seat’s finalanchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension- ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing 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 whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following condi
tions. These include
all of the item
s listed above a
nd all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with theF. 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.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unborn children in an accident, pregnant womenshould always wear
a seat belt. The lap
portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and low across the hips and belowthe rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional qu
estions or concerns.

The seat belt pre-tensioners 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 will be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre- tensioners will not operate if the seat belts are not fastened. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain collisions, even though the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean that something is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

This warning light tells you if there is a prob-lem involving the SRS airbags and/or the seat belt pre-tensioner sy
stem. Refer to “SRS

When transporting infants or small children in your vehicle, an appropriate child restraintsystem must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada. Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers
. Choose only a child
restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats SafetyRegulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac- turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself.
The child restraint syst
em should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height, andshould properly fit your
vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information, refer to the instruc- tion manual accompanying the child restraintsystem. All children should be
properly restrained in
a restraint device that
offers the maximum
protection for their size and age as specified by local, state, or provincial laws. Be sure to check local, state, or provincialrequirements for child si
ze and age that may
vary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 2 years old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride in a rear-facing child safety seat that MUST ONLY be used in the second row seat. Children older than 2 years of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tallmust be in a forwar
d-facing restraint used
only in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to work only
once. After the seat
belt pre-tensioners have been activated, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced and the entire seatbelt pre-tensioner system inspected by an authorized Mitsubis
hi Motors dealer.

The SRS 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 condi
tions. These include

s listed above a
nd all related
wiring.[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. The airbags will operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit.
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger se
at, move the seat to
the most rearward po
sition and make sure
the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with thei
r seat belt properly
worn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed. Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint systems” on page 4-34.

When the impact sensor
s detect a sufficient
front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will be deployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not
intentionally inhale
the smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag wasinflated. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able
to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the vehicle.

The driver’s seat posit
ion sensor is attached
to the seat rail and pr
ovides the airbag control
unit with information on the seat’s fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controlsdeployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-41.
N00418001374
The passenger’s seat oc
cupant classification
sensor system is attach
ed to the front passen-
ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con- trol unit with information regarding the occupant on the front passenger seat. The air-bag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag
in accordance with
the information it receives from this system. The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the system senses no occu-pant on the front passenge
r’s seat or a child in
a child restraint system. In this case, the pas- senger airbag off indi
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s ai
rbag off indicator” on
page 4-40. If there is a problem involving the passen-ger’s seat occupant cl
assification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Re
fer to “SRS warning
light/display” on page 4-41.
CAUTION Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In certain situations, contact with aninflating airbag may cause small cuts, abra- sions, and bruises.
