Front seats

WARNING

CAUTION

Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or

with adult supervision for correct and safe

operation.

Do not place a cushion or the like between

your back and the seatback while driving.

The effectiveness of the head restraints will

be reduced in the event of an accident.

The reclining mechanism of the front seat’s

seatback is spring loaded, causing it to return

to the vertical position when the lock lever is

operated. When using the lever, sit close to

the seatback or hold it with your hand to

control its return motion.

Front seats

Manual type

Do not attempt to adjust the seat while

driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-

trol and result in an accident. After ad-

justments are made, ensure the seating is

locked in position by attempting to move

the seat forward and rearward without

using the adjusting mechanism.

Do not allow people or children to ride in

any area of your vehicle that is not equip-

ped with seats and seat belts, and make

sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-

cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or

in the case of a child is strapped in a child

restraint.

To minimize the risk of personal injury in

the event of a collision or sudden braking,

the seatbacks should always be in the al-

most upright position while the vehicle is

in motion. The protection provided by the

seat belts may be reduced significantly

when the seatback is reclined. There is

greater risk that the passenger will slide

under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-

jury, when the seatback is reclined.

l

l

When sliding the seats, be careful not to

catch your hand or foot.

l

When adjusting the front seat while the rear

seat is folded, be careful not to apply strong

force to the flipped rear seat cushion.

Doing so could cause damage to the cover of

the front seat and the fitting of the rear seat

cushion.

Do not place objects under the seats. This

could prevent the seat from locking se-

curely, and it could lead to an accident. It

may also cause damage to the seat or oth-

er parts.

Head restraints

To adjust height

To remove

Head restraints

Adjust the head restraint height so that the

centre of the head restraint is as close as pos-

sible to ear level to reduce the chances of in-

jury in the event of collision. Any person too

tall for the head restraint to reach their seated

ear level, should adjust the restraint as high

as possible.

To raise the head restraint, move it upward.

To lower the restraint, move it downward

while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)

in the direction of the arrow. After adjust-

ment, push the head restraint downward and

make sure that it is locked.

Lift the head restraint with the height adjust-

ing knob (A) pushed in.

WARNING

Driving without the head restraints in

place can cause you and your passengers

serious injury or death in an accident. To

reduce the risk of injury in an accident,

always make sure the head restraints are

installed and properly positioned when

the seat is occupied.

l

5

Never place a cushion or similar device on

l

the seatback. This can adversely affect

head restraint performance by increasing

the distance between your head and the

restraint.

When a person sits in the rear seats, pull

l

up the head restraint to a height at which

it locks in position. Be sure to make this

adjustment before starting to drive. Seri-

ous injuries could otherwise be suffered as

the result of an impact.

To install

Confirm that the head restraint is facing the

correct direction, and then insert it into the

seatback while pressing the height adjusting

knob (A) in the direction indicated by the ar-

row.

The head restraint stalk with the adjustment

notches (B) must be installed in the hole with

the adjusting knob (A).

4. The flat seat configuration is now com-

plete. Reverse the above procedures

when returning the seat to the normal

position.

WARNING

Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.

Seat belts should always be worn by every

adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,

and by all children who are tall enough to

wear seat belts properly.

l

Always wear the lap portion of the belt

over your hips.

Other children should always use proper

child restraint systems.

Always place the shoulder belt over your

shoulder and across your chest. Never put

it behind you or under your arm.

One seat belt should be used by only one

person. Doing otherwise can be danger-

ous.

The seat belt will provide its wearer with

maximum protection if the recliner seat-

back is placed in fully upright position.

When the seatback is reclined, there is

greater risk that the passenger will slide

under the belt, especially in a forward im-

pact accident, and may be injured by the

belt or by striking the instrument panel or

seatbacks.

3-point type seat belt (with

emergency locking mechanism)

This type of belt requires no length adjust-

ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the

movement of the wearer, but in the event of a

sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-

ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.

l

5

NOTE

Seat belts

You can check if the belt locks by pulling it

forward quickly.

l

To protect you and your passengers in the

event of an accident, it is most important that

the seat belts be worn correctly while driving.

The front seat belts have a pretensioner sys-

tem. These belts are used the same way as a

conventional seat belt.

If the seat belt buckles in the rear seating po-

l

sition are not found, you will find them un-

der the rear seat cushion. Refer to “Making a

luggage area” on page 5-07 for how to put

the seat belt buckles at the proper position.

Remove any twists when using the belt.

l

No modifications or additions should be

made by the user which will either pre-

vent the seat belt adjusting devices from

operating to remove slack, or prevent the

seat belt assembly from being adjusted to

remove slack.

Never hold a child in your arms or on

your lap when riding in this vehicle, even

if you are wearing your seat belt. T o d o so

risks severe or fatal injury to the child in

a collision or sudden stop.

To fasten

Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and

force limiter system” on page 5-15.

[For the front passenger]

If the operation mode of the power switch is

put in ON while a seat belt is not fastened,

the warning lamp comes on for approximate-

ly 30 seconds to remind the rear passenger to

fasten the seat belt.

If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still

unfastened, the warning lamps come on for

approximately another 30 seconds. (This illu-

mination happens only the first time the vehi-

cle starts moving with the seat belt still un-

fastened.)

WARNING

Do not install any accessory or sticker

that makes the lamp difficult to see.

l

NOTE

If the seat belt subsequently remains unfas-

tened, the warning lamp and the tone will is-

sue further warnings each time the vehicle

starts moving from a stop.

For the front passenger seat, the warning

function works only while a person is sitting

on the seat.

When luggage is placed on the front passen-

ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may,

depending on the weight and position of the

luggage, cause the warning tone to sound

and the warning lamp to come on.

WARNING

Pregnant women restraint

The same warning lamp/display is shared by

the SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat

belts.

Refer to “SRS warning lamp/display” on

page 5-35.

To obtain the best results from your pre-

tensioner seat belt, make sure you have

adjusted your seat correctly and wear

your seat belt properly.

l

WARNING

Seat belts work for everyone, including

l

pregnant women. Pregnant women should

use the available seat belts. This will re-

duce the likelihood of injury to both the

woman and the unborn child. The lap belt

should be worn across the thighs and as

snug against the hips as possible, but not

across the waist. Consult your doctor if

you have any additional questions or con-

cerns.

CAUTION

Force limiter system

5

Installation of audio equipment or repairs in

the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or

floor console must be performed in line with

MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is

important to do so because the work could

affect the pretensioner systems.

If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-

sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Service Point.

l

In the event of a collision, each force limiter

system will effectively absorb the load ap-

plied to the seat belt to minimize the impact

to the passenger.

Child restraint

Seat belt pretensioner

system and force limiter

system

When transporting children in your vehicle,

some type of child restraint system should al-

ways be used according to the size of the

child. This is required by law in most coun-

tries.

The regulations concerning driving with chil-

dren in the front seat may differ from country

to country. You are advised to comply with

the relevant regulations.

It is important to do so because unexpected

activation of the pretensioner seat belts

could cause injuries.

The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat

each have a seat belt equipped with a preten-

sioner system and force limiter system.

NOTE

The pretensioner seat belts will be activated

if the vehicle suffers a severe impact, even if

the seat belts are not worn.

The pretensioner seat belts are designed to

work only once. After the pretensioner seat

belts have been activated, we recommend

you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI

MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

l

Pretensioner system

When the operation mode of the power

switch is in ON, if there is a frontal impact or

a side impact severe enough to injure the

driver and/or front passenger, the pretension-

er system will retract their respective seat

belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the

seat belt’s effectiveness.

WARNING

When possible, put children in the rear

l

seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil-

dren of all sizes and ages are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seat rather

than in the front seat.

Child restraint

WARNING

Holding a child in your arms is no substi-

tute for a restraint system. Failure to use

a proper restraint system can result in se-

vere or fatal injury to the child.

Each child restraint device or fixing is to

be used only by one child.

When attaching a child restraint system

to the rear seat, prevent the front seat-

backs from touching the child restraint

system.

Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-

jured in the event of hard braking or a

collision.

Extreme Hazard!

A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-

STRAINT must NOT be used in the front

passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-

bag has not been deactivated. The force of

an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-

rious injuries to the child. A rearward

facing child restraint should be used in

the rear seat.

l

NEVER use a rearward facing child re-

straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE

AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI-

OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

l

5

Use rearward facing child restraints in the

rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air-

bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an

airbag off” on page 5-28)

A

FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-

l

STRAINT should be used in the rear seat

whenever possible; if it must be used in

the front passenger seat, turn off the front

passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.

Failure to do so could kill or cause serious

injuries to the child.

A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-

STRAINT must NOT be used in the front

passenger seat when the driver’s visibility

is obstructed.

Seats and seat belts

OGGE20E1

Child restraint

Depending on the seating position in the

vehicle and the child restraint system

that you have, the child restraint can be

attached using one of the following two

ways:

• Using the lower anchorage in the front

passenger seat or the rear seat if the

child restraint has ISOFIX mountings

(See page 5-22).

Infants and small children

When transporting infants and small children

in your vehicle, follow the instruction given

below.

NOTE

Before purchasing a child restraint system,

try installing it to make sure there is a good

fit. Because of the location of the seat belt

buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it

may be difficult to securely install some

manufacturer’s child restraint systems.

If the child restraint system can be pulled

forward or to either side easily on the seat

cushion after the seat belt has been tight-

ened, choose another manufacturer’s child

restraint system.

l

5

• Using the seat belt (See page 5-24).

Older children

Children who have outgrown the child re-

straint system should be seated in the rear

seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.

The lap portion of the belt should be snug

and positioned low on the abdomen so that it

is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise,

the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-

men during an accident and cause injury.

WARNING

When installing a child restraint system,

refer to the instructions provided by the

manufacturer of the restraint system.

Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-

tal injury to the child.

After installation, push and pull the child

restraint system back and forth, and side

to side, to see that it is properly secured. If

the child restraint system is not installed

securely, it may cause injury to the child

or other occupants in the case of accident

or sudden stops.

When the child restraint system is not in

use, keep your child restraint system se-

cured with the seat belt or remove it from

the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-

ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-

ing an accident.

l

Instruction:

For small infants, an infant carrier

should be used. For small children

whose height when seated allows the

shoulder belt to lie in contact with the

face or the throat, a child seat should be

used.

l

The child restraint system should be ap-

propriate for the child’s weight and

height and properly fit in the vehicle.

For a higher degree of safety: THE

l

CHILD

RESTRAINT

SYSTEM

SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE

REAR SEAT.

CAUTION

When installing a child restraint system, remove the head restraint from the seat.

l

When installing a child restraint system on the rear outboard seat, adjust the seatback angle to 4 steps forward from the most reclined position.

A rearward facing child restraint system is not recommended for front passenger seat because driver’s visibility may be obstructed. If the driver’s visibility is

obstructed, install a child restraint system on the rear seat.

Do not sit in the middle seating position of the rear seat when installing a child restraint system to the left outboard seating position of the rear seat. Because

the child restraint interferes with the seat belt, you cannot fasten the seat belt correctly.

Seat belt inspection

The SRS driver and front passenger airbags

are designed to supplement the primary pro-

tection of the driver and front passenger side

seat belt systems by providing those occu-

pants with protection against head and chest

injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal

collisions.

The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to

supplement the primary protection of the

driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the

forward 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 are designed to supple-

ment properly worn seat belts and provide the

driver and front passenger with protection

against chest injuries in certain moderate-to-

severe side impact collisions.

The SRS curtain airbags are designed to sup-

plement properly worn seat belts and provide

the driver and passenger with protection

against head injuries in certain moderate-to-

severe side impact collisions.

WARNING

Seat belt inspection

Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces

of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the

buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi-

tion, do not modify, remove or install the

seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not

be able to provide adequate protection in

a collision or other situation.

l

Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-

bing and for cracked or deformed metallic

parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-

tive.

5

WARNING

We recommend you to have all seat belt

l

assemblies including retractors and at-

taching hardware inspected after any col-

lision. We recommend that seat belt as-

semblies in use during a collision be re-

placed unless the collision was minor and

the belts show no damage and continue to

operate properly.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any

l

part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-

mend you to have this work done by a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-

ment could reduce the effectiveness of the

belts and could result in serious injury in

the event of a collision.

A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-

tral detergent in warm water. After rins-

ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not

attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts be-

cause this will affect their characteristics.

l

Once the pretensioner has been activated,

it cannot be re-used.

Supplemental restraint

system (SRS)-airbag

l

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat

belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-

ing all types of collisions and accidents, all

occupants, including the passengers as well

as the driver, must wear their seat belts.

It must be replaced together with the re-

tractor.

How the Supplemental Re-

straint System works

WARNING

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE

PROPERLY SEATED.

A driver or front passenger too close to

the steering wheel or instrument panel

during airbag deployment can be killed or

seriously injured.

Airbags inflate very fast, and with great

force.

If the driver and front passenger are not

properly seated and restrained, the air-

bags may not protect you properly, and

could cause serious or fatal injuries when

it inflates.

Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or sit

with your lower legs too close to the in-

strument panel, or lean head or chest

close to the steering wheel or instrument

panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against

the instrument panel.

Place all infants and small children in the

rear seat and properly restrained using an

appropriate child restraint system.

The rear seat is the safest place for infants

and children.

l

The SRS includes the following components:

Only when the operation mode of the power

switch is in ON, the airbags will operate.

The airbags deployment produces a sudden,

loud noise, and releases some smoke and

powder, but these conditions are not injuri-

ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

People with respiratory problems may feel

some temporary irritation from chemicals

used to produce the deployment; open the

windows after airbag deployment, if safe to

do so.

5

l

The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-

ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-

sion.

To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:

1. Remove the emergency key from the

keyless operation key.

Refer to “Emergency key” on page 4-14.

2. Insert the emergency key into the front

passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch, and

turn it to the “OFF” position.

3. Remove the emergency key from the

front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF

switch.

Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the

front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF

switch after putting the operation mode

in OFF.

•

Both indicators normally come on when the

operation mode of the power switch is put in

ON, and go off a few seconds later.

When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF

switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will

stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-

bag is not operational. When the front pas-

senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned

ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON

indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi-

nute to show that the front passenger’s airbag

is operational.

The SRS airbag system is designed to

retain enough voltage to deploy the air-

bag.

Always remove the key from the front

passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-

ter operating that switch. Failure to do

so could lead to improper position of

the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF

switch.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag

will deploy if the severity of the impact is

above the designed threshold level, compara-

ble to a collision at approximately 25 km/h

(16 mph) when impacting straight into a solid

wall that does not move or deform. If the se-

verity of the impact is below the above

threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s

knee airbag may not deploy. However, this

threshold speed will be considerably higher if

the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the

impact by either deforming or moving (for

example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a

guard rail).

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee

airbag do not protect the occupant in all types

of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-

erly wear your seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s

knee airbag MAY NOT DE-

PLOY when…

With certain types of frontal collisions, the

vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb

the shock to help protect the occupants from

harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-

form significantly as it absorbs the impact.)

Under such circumstances, the front airbags

they cannot typically provide protection to

the occupant.

Such conditions are shown in the illustration.

Examples of some typical conditions are

shown in the illustration.

Because frontal collisions can easily move

you out of position, it is important to always

properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts

will help keep you a safe distance from the

steering wheel and instrument panel during

the initial stages of airbag deployment. The

initial stage of airbag inflation is the most

forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-

tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your

vehicle are your primary means of protection

in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed

to provide additional protection. Therefore,

for your safety and the safety of all occu-

pants, be sure to always properly wear your

seat belts.
