SEATS AND SEATBELTS
3–15
CAUTION
(1) Any installation of audio equip-
ment or repairs in the vicinity of
the pre–tensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed
by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer. It is important to do so be-
cause the work could affect the
pre–tensioner mechanisms.
(2) If you need to scrap the vehicle,
please consult an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer. It is important
to do so because unexpected ac-
tivation of the pre–tensioner seat
belts could cause injuries.
NOTE
(1) The pre–tensioner seat belts will be acti-
vated if the vehicle suffers a severe
frontal impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.
(2) The pre–tensioner seat belts are de-
signed to work only once. After the pre–
tensioner seat belts have been acti-
vated, they must be replaced by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
Warning lamp
The same warning lamp is shared by the
SRS air bags and the pre–tensioner seat
belts.
Refer to the ”SRS warning lamp” on page
3–36.
Force–limiter mechanisms
In the event of a collision, each force–limiter
mechanism will effectively absorb the load
applied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.
Child restraint
EG20A-Bb
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
countries.
The regulations concerning driving with
children in the front seat may differ from
country to country. You are advised to com-
ply with the relevant regulations.
WARNING
(1) When possible, put children in
the rear seat. Accident statistics
indicate that children of all sizes
and ages are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat rather
than in the front seat.
(2) Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system.
Failure to use a proper restraint
system can result in severe or
fatal injury to your child.
(3) Each restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.
