Seat Belts - Mitsubishi MOTORS Colt 2007 Owner's Manual

Seat and seat belts
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident,
it is important that the seat belts are worn correctly while driv-
ing.
The front seat belts have a pre-tensioner system. These belts
are used in the same way as a conventional seat belt.
Refer to "Seat belt pre-tensioner system and force limiter sys-
tem" on page 2-29.

Seat belts

WARNING
!
E00404800607
● 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.
● The seat belt will provide its wearer with maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed in the
fully upright position. When the seatback is
reclined, there is a greater risk that the passenger
will slide under the belt, especially in a forward
impact accident, and may be injured by the belt or
by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
● 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.
● 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.
● To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury in an
accident, including the deployment of the driver air
bag, the driver should adjust the driver's seat to the
rearmost position that still allows good visibility and
good control of the steering wheel, the brake and
accelerator, and vehicle controls.
