as it may cause some temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.
Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-
tensioners will not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat belt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certain collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean that
something is wrong with the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collision
forces were not severe enough to activate the
system.

This warning light tells you if there is a prob-

When transporting infants or small children
in your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint
system must always be used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed
for infants and small children are offered by
several manufacturers. Choose only a child
restraint system with a label certifying that it
complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle
Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the box
and child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information, refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraint
system.
All children should be properly restrained in
a restraint device that offers the maximum
protection for their size and age.
Be sure to check local, state, or provincial
requirements for child size and age that may
vary from the recommendations listed below.
 Children less than 1 year old and who
weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST
ride in a rear-facing child safety seat that
MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
 Children older than 1 year of age and who
weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who
are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must
be in a forward-facing restraint used only
in the rear seat.
 Children who weigh more than 40 pounds
(18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches
(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, should
use a suitable child seat or a booster seat
in the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and-
shoulder belt fits them properly.
WARNING
 The seat belt pre-tensioner system is
designed to work only once. After the seat
belt pre-tensioners have been activated,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced and the entire seat
belt pre-tensioner system inspected by a
certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
