Seat Belt Instructions - Mitsubishi LANCER Owner's Manual

WARNING
!
In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies,
including retractors and attachment hardware,
should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is
necessary.

Seat belt instructions

All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle's motion.
NOTE
For instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to "Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt" on page 2-31.
1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their
backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death during deployment of the airbag,
adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely oper-
ate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible. Refer to "Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - airbag" on page 2-35. Also refer
to "To adjust the seat forward or backward" on page 2-5.
