Pregnant Women Restraint; Seat Belt Pretensioner System And Force Limiter System - Mitsubishi MOTORS L200 Owner's Manual

Pregnant women restraint

WARNING
l Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women should
use the available seat belts. This will re-
duce 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 con-
cerns.
Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system*
The driver's and front passenger's seat equip-
ped with an airbag has a pretensioner seat
belt.
Pretensioner system
The pretensioner system will retract their re-
spective seat belts instantaneously, thus max-
imizing the seat belt's effectiveness, if there
is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger and the ignition
switch is in the "ON" or "START" position.
The seat belt pretensioner includes the fol-
lowing components:
E00405600064
1- Front impact sensors
2- Seat belt pretensioners
3- Airbag control unit
WARNING
l To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
E00405700283
adjusted your seat correctly and wear
your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
l Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
E00405801089
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could
affect the pretensioner systems.

SRS warning lamp
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS air-
bags and the pretensioner seat belts.
Refer to "SRS warning lamp" on page 4-40.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load ap-
plied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.

CAUTION
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. It is important to do so be-
cause unexpected activation of the preten-
sioner seat belts could cause injuries.
NOTE
The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
