Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
WARNING
.
Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be properly restrained in
the rear seat whenever possible. If one
must be used in the front passenger seat,
move the seat to the most rearward
position and make sure the child stays in
the child restraint system, properly re-
strained. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions could result in serious injury or death
to the child.
.
The seat belt should be properly adjusted
to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce
the effectiveness of the entire restraint
system and increase the chance or severity
of injury in an accident. Serious injury or
death can occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.
.
Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
the belt behind your back, under your arm
or across your neck. The belt should be
away from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
.
Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident.
.
Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
.
Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its effective-
ness.
.
Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt.
.
Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
.
If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is turned
ON with all doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in
the system. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service.
.
No changes should be made to the seat belt
system. For example, do not modify the
seat belt, add material, or install devices
that may change the seat belt routing or
tension. Doing so may affect the operation
of the seat belt system. Modifying or
tampering with the seat belt system may
result in serious personal injury.
.
Never insert any foreign object, such as a
piece of plastic, paper clip, button or coin,
into the seat belt buckle.
.
Once a seat belt pretensioner has acti-
vated, it cannot be reused and must be
replaced together with the retractor. It is
recommended you visit an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service.
.
All seat belt assemblies, including retrac-
tors and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after any collision. It is recom-
mended you visit an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer for this service. Mitsubishi
Motors recommends that all seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not
