Making a flat seat

E00404301931

By removing the head restraints and fully re-
clining the seatbacks of the seats, one large
flat seat is achieved.

WARNING

Never drive with passengers on the flat
seat. This is highly dangerous.

CAUTION

To make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a safe
place.

Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe
operation.

Do not walk around on top of the seats after
they have been laid flat.

To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-
tempt to move them back and forth.

Do not jump on, or impact the seatbacks
heavily.

To raise the seatback, put a hand on the seat-
back and raise slowly. Never have a child do
this operation, or an unexpected accident
may result.

1. Remove the head restraints from the

front seats, raise the armrest and remove
the cargo area cover. (Refer to “Head re-
straints” on page 5-05, “Armrest” on
page 5-05 and “Cargo area cover” on
page 8-85)

4. The flat seat configuration is now com-

plete. Reverse the above procedures
when returning the seat to the normal
position.

Seat belts

E00404800867

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.
Refer  to  “Seat  belt  pretensioner  system  and
force limiter system” on page 5-14.

WARNING

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.
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.

Remove any twists when using the belt.

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. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.

Seat belts

Seats and seat belts

WARNING

Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.

Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.

3-point type seat belt (with

emergency locking mechanism)

E00404902918

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.

NOTE

You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.

If the seat belt buckles in the rear seating po-
sition are not found, you will find them un-
der the rear seat cushion. Refer to “Making a
luggage area” on page 5-06 for how to put
the seat belt buckles at the proper position.

To fasten

1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-

ing the latch plate.

NOTE

When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.

2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until

a “click” is heard.

WARNING

Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen
and increase the risk of injury.

The seat belts must not be twisted when
worn.

3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness

as desired.

To unfasten

Hold the latch plate and push the button on
the buckle.

NOTE

As the belt retracts automatically, keep hold-
ing the latch plate while retracting so that the
belt stows slowly. Failure to do this could
damage the vehicle.

Seat belt reminder

E00409801973

For the driver and the front

passenger’s seat

For the driver

For the front passenger

This warning lamp shows the case
of the left-hand drive vehicles.

If the operation mode of the power switch is
put  in  ON  while  a  seat  belt  is  not  fastened,
the  warning  lamp  comes  on  and  the  tone
sounds  for  about  6  seconds  to  remind  the
driver  and  the  front  passenger  to  fasten  the
seat belt.

If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still
unfastened,  the  warning  lamp  will  blink  and
the  tone  will  sound  intermittently  until  the
seat belt is fastened. At the same time, “FAS-
TEN SEAT BELT” is displayed on the infor-
mation  screen  in  the  multi  information  dis-
play for the driver.

WARNING

Do not install any accessory or sticker
that makes the lamp difficult to see.

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.

For the rear passenger’s seats

E00415501021

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.)
The warning lamps go off when the seat belt
is fastened.

WARNING

Do not install any accessory or sticker
that makes the lamp difficult to see.

NOTE

The warning lamp comes on even if no one
is sitting on the rear seats.

If a seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle
is being driven, the tone sounds for approxi-
mately 1 second and the warning lamp
comes on for approximately 30 seconds. At
the same time, the warning lamp for the seat
where the seat belt is not fastened comes on.

If  the  seat  belts  are  initially  fastened  but  a
seat  belt  is  unfastened  while  the  vehicle  is
stationary and the vehicle is then driven with
the  seat  belt  still  unfastened,  the  warning
lamp  comes  on  again  for  approximately  30
seconds.

Pregnant women restraint

E00405600077

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.

Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system

E00405701323

The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat
each have a seat belt equipped with a preten-
sioner system and force limiter system.

Pregnant women restraint

OGGE19E1

Seats and seat belts

Pretensioner system

E00405802523

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

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.

CAUTION

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.
It is important to do so because unexpected
activation of the pretensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.

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.

SRS warning

E00405900360

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.

Force limiter system

E00406000209

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

E00406403507

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.

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.

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.

Caution for installing the child

restraint on vehicles with front

passenger’s airbag

The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger’s airbag.

WARNING

Extreme Hazard!
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)

Front passenger’s
airbag ON

WARNING

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.

A 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.

WARNING

A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat when the driver’s visibility
is obstructed.

Infants and small children

E00406602065

When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.

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.

Child restraint

5-16

OGGE19E1

Seats and seat belts

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.

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.

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.

WARNING

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.

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).

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

Older children

E00406700307

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.

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.
