Pregnant women restraint

SRS warning

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.

WARNING

Seat belts work for everyone, including

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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)

FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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

CHILD

RESTRAINT

SYSTEM

SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE

REAR SEAT.

CAUTION

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

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.

Tether anchorage location

Installing a child restraint sys-

tem to the lower anchorage

(ISOFIX child restraint mount-

ings) and tether anchorage

WARNING

Your vehicle has 3 child restraint anchorage

points on the backside of the front passenger

seat and rear seats. These are for securing a

child restraint system tether strap to each of

the 3 seating positions in your vehicle.

Child restraint anchorages are designed

to withstand only those loads imposed by

correctly fitted child restraints. Under no

circumstances are they to be used for

adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-

ing other items or equipment to the vehi-

cle.

Lower anchorage location

Your vehicle’s front passenger seat and rear

seat is fitted with lower anchorages for at-

taching a child restraint system with ISOFIX

mountings.
