Regularly check your seat belt buckles and
their release mechanisms for positive engage-
ment and release of the latch plate. Check the
retractors for automatic locking when in the
Automatic Locking Retractor function.
The entire seat belt assembly should be
replaced if the webbing shows any obvious
cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-
tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or
severe fading from sunlight. All of these con-
ditions indicate a weakening of the belt,
which may adversely affect seat belt perfor-
mance in an accident.

This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS), which includes air-
bags for the driver and passengers.
The SRS front airbags are designed to supple-
ment the primary protection of the driver and
front passenger seat belt systems by provid-
ing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate to
severe frontal collisions. The SRS front air-
bags, together with sensors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the front
seats, form an advanced airbag system.
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 and the curtain airbags
are also designed to supplement the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest
injuries by deploying the bag on the side
impacted in moderate to severe side impact
collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide
WARNING
 Any child who is too small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properly
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint system, to reduce their risk of
serious injury or death in an accident.
 A child should never be left unattended in,
or unsupervised around, your vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, always take
the child out as well.
 Children can die from heat stroke if left or
trapped inside the vehicle, especially on
hot days.
 Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid
closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle

Maintenance and inspection
of seat belts
WARNING
 Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies. This work
should be done by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to have
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
perform the work could reduce the effec-
tiveness of the belts and could result in a
serious injury or death in an accident.
 Never use an organic solvent to clean the
seat belt webbing. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the seat belt webbing.
These may weaken the seat belt webbing,
increasing risk of injury or death in an
accident.
Clean seat belt webbing only with mild
soap or detergent solution and rinse it
with lukewarm water, and dry the seat
belt webbing completely before retracting
it.
