WARNING
 Never insert any foreign object, such as a
N00406001511
piece of plastic, paper clip, button or coin,
into the seat belt buckle.
 Never modify or alter the seat belts in
your vehicle.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious
injury or death during deployment of the
driver's airbag, always properly wear the
seat belt and adjust the driver's seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi-
tion that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle.
 To reduce the risk to a front seat passen-
ger of serious injury or death from a
deploying airbag, make sure the passenger
always wears the seat belt properly,
remains seated all the way back and
upright in their seat, and moves the seat as
far back as possible. Refer to "Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag" on
page 4-35 for additional information.
WARNING
 Never hold an infant or child in your arms
or on your lap when riding in this vehicle
even when you are wearing your seat belt.
Never place any part of the seat belt you
are wearing around an infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructions
creates a risk of serious injury or death to
your child in the event of an accident or
sudden stop.
 Children 12 years old and under should
always ride in the rear seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk of
serious injury or death in an accident,
especially due to a deploying front passen-
ger's airbag. Refer to "Child restraint sys-
tems" on page 4-27 for additional
information.
 Any child who is too small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properly
restrained in an appropriate
restraint system.
 Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing
child safety seat and positioned in the rear
seat.
 In the event of an accident, all seat belt
assemblies, including retractors
attachment hardware, should be inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer to determine whether replacement
is necessary.
