`
` Installation
`
`Pre-removal and Post-installation Operation
`● Turn the ignition key to the LOCK (OFF) position.
`● Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
`● Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work.
`
`● Observe existing belt installation before removal.
`● To install, reverse the sequence of removal.
`● Do not damage belts while installing.
`● Do not install the belts while webbing are twisted.
`● Use only new bolts and nuts. The tightening bolts or nuts are classified into 3 types by thread
`diameter. Each tightening torque is as follows, unless otherwise shown in following sketches.
`
`Nominal diameter of the thread
`10 mm or 7/16 inches
`8 mm
`6 mm
`
`Tightening torque
`43 ±8 Nm / 32 ±6 ft-lb
`19 ±3 Nm / 14 ±2 ft-lb
`5.0 ±1.0 Nm / 44 ±9 in-lb
`
`● After completing installation, re-check to ensure each belt has been properly installed.
`- Make sure seat belts latch securely.
`- Make sure rotary anchor parts rotate properly. (if so equipped)
`- Make sure retractor operates smoothly and locks when pulled sharply (if it has a sensor of
`the acceleration of seat belt extraction). (if so equipped)
`- Make sure SRS indicator warning light illuminates for approximately seven seconds,
`and goes out after turning the ignition switch to the “ON” position. (if pre-tensioner is equipped)
`- Make sure seat belt warning light/reminder works properly. (if so equipped)
`
`● Following sketches are examples of typical seat belt layout.
`The shape & installation position may be slightly different for each vehicle.
`Please refer to the vehicle service manual & owner’s manual for detail.

`
`
`To unfasten
`Hold the latch plate and push the button on the buckle.
`
`NOTE
`● As the belt retracts automatically, keep the latch plate
`held while retracting so that the belt stows slowly.
`Failure to do this could damage the vehicle.
`
`Lap belts (manual belt) (if so equipped)
`The lap belts should be adjusted by holding the belt and latch plate at right angles to each other, and
`then pulling the belt as shown in the illustration (1 Tighten or 2 Loosen) to a snug fit around the
`occupant.
`
`While holding the latch plate, insert the latch plate into
`the buckle until a “click” is heard.
`
`
` Usage & Maintenance
`
`To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is the most important that the
`seat belts be worn correctly while driving.
`
`WARNING
` Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you
`or under your arm.
`● One seat belt should be used by only one person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
`● Seat belts should always be worn by every adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all
`children who are large enough to wear seat belts properly. Other children should always use
`proper child restraint systems.
`● Remove any twists when using the belt.
`● No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt
`adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being
`adjusted to remove slack.
`● Never hold a child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing
`your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a collision or sudden stop.
`● Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
`● Always wear the lap portion of the belt over your hips.
`
`
` ●
`
`Pregnant women
`
`WARNING
`● 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 possible, but not
`across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.
`
`
`
`
`
`Automatic shoulder belt
`
`The shoulder belt moves automatically to the set (fasten)
`position when a door is closed and the ignition key is
`turned to the “ON” position. When the door is opened, the
`shoulder belt automatically moves to the off (unfastened)
`position. For the driver’s seat the shoulder belt
`automatically moves to the set-off position when the
`ignition key is removed from the ignition.
`
`
`To fasten
`1. Get in the car, close the door and adjust the seat position.
`2. Grasp the seat belt (lap portion belt) latch plate and pull the webbing, then push the latch plate into
`the buckle until a click is heard. of an abrupt change in car motion.
`
`3-point type seat belt and lap belt (with emergency locking mechanism)
`This type of belt requires no length adjustment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement
`of wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the
`wearer’s body. The belt also locks when the vehicle accelerates or decelerates quickly or when the
`vehicle is on a steep slope or when the belt is pulled sharply.
`If it has a sensor of the acceleration of seat belt extraction, you can check the belt locks when you
`pull it sharply.
`
`To fasten
`1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate.

`
`
`
`
`WARNING
`● Never wear the lap portion of the belt across your
`abdomen. During accidents it can press sharply
`against abdomen and increase the risk of injury.
`
`3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness as desired.
`
`NOTE
`● In the case that the seat belt is equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR) mechanism.
`If you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint
`installation mode and lock, thus preventing further movement.
`If this happens, you should switch the retractor back to its emergency locking retractor (ELR)
`mode by taking off the seat belt and fully rewinding it. You should then wear the seat belt again.

`
`
`
`Inspection &
`
`● Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed webbing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts.
` Replace the belt assembly if defective.
`● A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral detergent in warm water. After rinsing in water, let it dry in the
` shade.
` Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts because this affects their characteristics.
`
`WARNING
` All seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware should be inspected by
` an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer after any collision. We recommend that 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.
`● Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies; this work should be
`done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
`dealer perform the work could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could result in serious
`injury in the event of a collision.
`● Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it cannot be re-used.
` It must be replaced together with the retractor.
`
` ●
`
`
`
`NOTE
`● For further information, please refer to vehicle owner’s manual.
`
`
`
`
`
`3. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position; the shoulder belt will move automatically to the set
`(fasten) position.
`4. Pull up the shoulder belt and seat belt slightly to be sure that there is no excess slack or tightness
`in the belts. The belts will retain a small amount of looseness necessary for comfort during driving.
`If a belt is too tight, pull it up slightly and let it return. The belts will not tighten during normal use;
`therefore you can set them once for safe, comfortable snugness.
`5. The belts will allow unrestricted movement under normal conditions. The belts will lock in the event
`of an abrupt change in car motion.
`
`WARNING
` Do not use the shoulder belt without a lap belt.
`
` ●
`
`
`
`Emergency release button (if so equipped)
`
`If the shoulder belt sliding anchor is locked in an
`emergency, push the emergency release button (1) to
`release the shoulder belt. Use this button only when
`the shoulder belt prevents you from leaving the car in
`an accident.
`
`
`
` 1
`
`WARNING
` To maintain the normal shoulder belt restraint, do not press the emergency release button except
`in an emergency.
`
`
` ●
`
`Seat belt extender (if so equipped)
`
`When your seat belt, even fully extended, is not long
`enough, a seat belt extender must be obtained.
`
`
`WARNING
` The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyone who can use the
`standard seat belt should not use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender can adversely
`affect seat belt performance in an accident.
`● When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
`
