When the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON, if there is a frontal impact
severe enough to injure the driver and/or front
passenger, the pre-tensioner system will
retract their respective seat belts instantane-
ously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effec-
tiveness.

When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should
always 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.

Pre-tensioner system
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.
Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pre-tensioner 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 pre-tensioner systems.
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer.
It is important to do so because unexpected
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.
The pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe impact, even if
the seat belts are not worn.
The pre-tensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pre-tensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have it replaced by an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
SRS warning
Child restraint
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
severe or fatal injury to your child.
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
When attaching a child restraint system to
the second seat, prevent the front seat-
backs from touching the child’s feet and
child restraint system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously
injured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
