Pregnant women restraint
E00405600064
WARNING
l
Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women
should use the available seat belts. This
will reduce 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 pos-
sible, but not across the waist. Consult
your doctor if you have any additional
questions or concerns.
Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system
E00405700166
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each
have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.
Pretensioner system
E00405801249
When the ignition switch or the operation mode is
under the following conditions, if there is a frontal
impact severe enough to injure the and/or front pas-
senger, the pretensioner system will retract their re-
spective seat belts instantaneously, thus maximiz-
ing the seat belt’s effectiveness.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless opera-
tion system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” po-
sition.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in ON.
WARNING
l To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have ad-
justed your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly.
CAUTION
l Installation of audio equipment or re-
pairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be per-
formed in line with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines. It is important to
do so because the work could affect the
pretensioner systems.
CAUTION
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. It is important to do
so because unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause inju-
ries.
NOTE
l The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
E00405900083
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and the pretensioner seat belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 2-25.
Force limiter system
E00406000153
In the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem will effectively absorb the load applied to the
seat belt to minimize the impact to the passenger.
