Fuel selection

Recom­mended
fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane number (EN228) [Except for vehicles for Russia, Kazakhstan, Bela­rus, Ukraine and Moldova] 95 RON or higher [Vehicles for Russia, Ka­zakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova] 90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590) 51 or higher
CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea­ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l
Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 stand­ard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio die­sel, methyl ester, etc.) would adversely af­fect the engine’s performance and durability.
NOTE
l
Vehicles labelled “95 + OCTANE” have the knock control system so that you can use un­leaded petrol 90 RON as an emergent meas­ure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or high­er is not available on journey, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the engine specially. In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine performance lev­el is reduced.
l
Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases considerably as the temperature falls. Because of this fact there are two kinds of fuel: “summer” and “winter”. This must be considered in winter use. Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac­cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel When travelling abroad, find out in advance about the fuels served in local service sta­tions.
NOTE
l
In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driv­ing short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and en­gine, resulting in poor starting and poor ac­celeration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the petrol when you refuel the vehicle. The addi­tive will remove the deposits, thereby return­ing the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU­INE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv­ice Point.
l
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If you experience these prob­lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet­rol. If the check engine warning lamp flashes, have the system checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

NOTE
l
In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality die­sel fuel can cause deposits form in the injec­tor, resulting in black smoke and rough idling. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will break up and remove the deposits, there­by returning the engine to a normal condi­tion. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For de­tails, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re­placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point, to check whether the attach­ment or installation of such parts affects the overall safety of your vehicle. Even when such parts are officially author­ized, for example by a “general operators per­mit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construction, or when a single op­eration permit following the attachment or in­stallation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not been affected. Consider also that there basically exists no li­ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi­cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS au­thorized Service Point (MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The same also pertains to modifications of vehi­cles with respect to the production specifica­tions.

Event Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under­standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
l
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
l
How far (if at all) the driver was de­pressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
l
How fast the vehicle was travelling.
These data can help provide a better under­standing of the circumstances in which crash­es and injuries occur.
NOTE
l
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no da­ta are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash inves­tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi­cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equip­ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

CAUTION
l
Do not modify or add parts to the immobiliz­er system. Doing so could cause the immo­bilizer to malfunction.
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to immo­bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attemp­ted. A valid start attempt can only be ach­ieved by using a key “registered” to the im­mobilizer system.
NOTE
l
In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may not start. (vehicles equipped with the keyless entry system)
When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or magnetic object
NOTE
When the key grip contacts metal of an­other key
When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizing keys (including keys of oth­er vehicles)
In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key. Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does not start, we recommend you to con­tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au­thorized Service Point.

WARNING
l
People with implantable cardiac pace­makers or implantable cardiovascular-de­fibrillators should not go near the exterior transmitters (A) or the interior transmit­ters (B). The radio waves used by the key­less operation system could adversely af­fect implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.
WARNING
l
When using electro-medical devices other than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators, contact the electromedical device manu­facturer ahead of time to determine the affects of radio waves on the devices. Elec­tromedical device operations could be ad­versely effected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the keyless operation system in the following ways. (The keyless operation system can be used as a keyless entry system.) Please con­sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
You can limit operations to locking and unlocking the doors and tailgate.
l

If the lever is set to the unlock position (2), the child protection mechanism does not function.
CAUTION
l
When driving with a child in the rear seat, please use the child protection to prevent ac­cidental door opening which may cause an accident.

Tailgate

WARNING
l
The luggage compartment is not designed for people to ride in. Do not let people ride or children play there. This could re­sult in a serious accident.
l
It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas can enter the cabin. You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. And also, if opening the tailgate while driving, luggage may fall from the tail­gate. This could result in a serious acci­dent.
WARNING
l
When opening and closing the tailgate, make sure of the surrounding safety and keep enough space from the back and up­per of the vehicle and be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.
l
When there is a build up of snow or ice, it should be removed before opening the tailgate. If you open the tailgate without removing it, there is a possibility that the tailgate may close suddenly due to the weight of that snow or ice.
l
When you open the tailgate make sure that the tailgate is opened fully and re­mains fully open. If you only open the tail­gate halfway there is a risk that the tail­gate may drop and slam shut. If you open the tailgate while your vehicle is parked on an incline it is more difficult to do so than on the flat and also it may drop and slam shut.
CAUTION
l
Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could lead to burns.
l
To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure the area above and behind the tailgate is clear before opening it.
To lock/unlock
The tailgate can be locked or unlocked by us­ing the central door lock switch (driver side).

Security alarm system*

The security alarm system is for alerting the surrounding area of suspicious behaviour to prevent unlawful entry into the vehicle by op­erating an alarm if a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has not been unlocked using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the alarm will be activated if any of the following occurs:
l
Attempt to an unlawful moving of the vehicle. (the vehicle impact detection function)
l
Detection of a motion in the vehicle (the interior intrusion detection function)
l
Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active”. When making changes to the settings, please follow the procedure listed in the section ti­tled “Changing the security alarm settings” on page 3-25. On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone Link Display Audio or the MITSUBISHI Multi-Communication System (MMCS), screen operations can be used to make the ad­justment. Refer to the separate owner’s man­ual for details.
CAUTION
l
Do not modify or add parts to the security alarm system. Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.
NOTE
l
The alarm system will not be activated if the doors and the tailgate have been locked us­ing a key, the inside lock knob or the central door lock switch (instead of the keyless en­try system or the keyless operation func­tion).
l
For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the locking and unlocking operation us­ing the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function, the security alarm system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv­ice Point. If the confirmation function (blinking of the turn-signal lamps by locking and unlocking the doors and the tailgate) is deactivated, the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the lock­ing and unlocking operation. For information on the confirmation func­tion, refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 3-04 and “To operate using the keyless oper­ation function” on page 3-11.
l
For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the security alarm system could be activated in the following situations.

Suffering a continuous impact or vibra­tion by hail, thunder, etc. According to the situations, deactivate the vehicle impact detection function and the interior intrusion detection function. Refer to “To deactivate the vehicle impact detection function and the interior intru­sion detection function” on page 3-28.
l
For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the sensitivity of the interior intru­sion detection function can be adjusted. For details, please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (ap­proximately 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se­curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends from the point at which all of the doors and the tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK switch on the key or the keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open a door or the tailgate without using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm to sound (for example, when you forget some­thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win­dow is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator continues to blink with the indicator’s re­duced lit-up duration time.) Once the system preparation mode has ended, the system armed mode starts. If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys­tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people around the vehicle of an ab­normal condition. Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if unlawful moving of the vehi­cle is attempted or a vehicle intrusion is de­tected, the alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
Inside alarm (approximately 10 seconds): The buzzer sounds, warning those inside the vehicle of an abnormal condition. (except for vehicles equipped with the interi­or alarm sensor) Outside alarm (approximately 30 seconds):

Seat adjustment

Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com­fortable and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
l
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con­trol and result in an accident. After ad­justments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move the seat forward and rearward without using the adjusting mechanism.
l
It is extremely dangerous to ride in the luggage area of a vehicle. Also, the lug­gage area and rear seats should never be used as a play area by children. In a colli­sion, people or children riding unrestrain­ed in these areas are more likely to be se­riously injured or killed.
l
Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equip­ped with seats and seat belts, and make sure that everyone travelling in your vehi­cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint.
WARNING
l
To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should always be in the al­most upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the passenger will slide under the seat belt, resulting in serious in­jury, when the seatback is reclined.
l
Do not place objects under the seats. This could prevent the seat from locking se­curely, and it could lead to an accident. It may also cause damage to the seat or oth­er parts.
CAUTION
l
Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l
Do not place a cushion or the like between your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an accident.
l
The reclining mechanism of the front seat’s seatback is spring loaded, causing it to return to the vertical position when the lock lever is operated. When using the lever, sit close to the seatback or hold it with your hand to control its return motion.
l
When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your hand or foot.
CAUTION
l
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay careful attention to the rear seat passen­gers.

Armrest*
To use the armrest, fold it down. To return to the original position, push it backward level with the seat.
CAUTION
l
Do not climb or sit on the armrest. Doing so could damage the armrest.
NOTE
l
The top surface of the armrest contains a drink holder for rear seat occupants. Refer to “Drink holder” on page 7-85.

Heated seats*

The heated seats can be operated with the ig­nition switch in the “ON” position or the op­eration mode in ON.
CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l
Operate in the high position for quick heat­ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operation of the heater’s inter­nal thermostat and does not indicate a mal­function.
l
If the following types of persons use the heated seats, they might become too hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters, etc.):
Children, elderly or ill people
People with sensitive skin
Excessively tired people
People under the influence of alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
CAUTION
l
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into it.
l
Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate­rial with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might cause the heater element to overheat.
l
Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alcohol or other organic solvents when cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage not only the seat cover, but also the heater element.
l
If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before at­tempting to use the heater.
l
Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunctioning during use.
NOTE
l
Do not use the seat heater for a long time when the engine is not running, doing so will cause the battery to be discharged.

Head restraints

WARNING
l
Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.
l
Never place a cushion or similar device on the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasing the distance between your head and the restraint.
To adjust height
Front seats
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre of the head restraint is as close as pos­sible to ear level to reduce the chances of in­jury in the event of collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint to reach their seated ear level, should adjust the restraint as high as possible.

Seat belts

To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important that the seat belts are worn correctly while driv­ing.
The front seat belts and/or rear outboard seat belts have a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a conventional seat belt. Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-14.
WARNING
l
Seat belts should always be worn by every adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly. Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l
Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l
One seat belt should be used by only one person. Doing otherwise can be danger­ous.
l
The seat belt will provide its wearer with maximum protection if the recliner seat­back is placed in fully upright position. When the seatback is reclined, there is 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.
l
Remove any twists when using the belt.

Pregnant women restraint

WARNING
l
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.

Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system

The driver’s seat, front passenger’s seat, and/or rear outboard seats each have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system and force limiter system.
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions, if there is a frontal impact or a side impact (ve­hicles equipped with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure the driver, front passenger, and/or rear out­board passengers, the pretensioner system will retract their respective seat belts instan­taneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s ef­fectiveness. [Except vehicles equipped with keyless oper­ation system] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. [Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system] The operation mode is in ON. On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLO­NASS, the pretensioner system will operate even when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is detected.
WARNING
l
To obtain the best results from your pre­tensioner seat belt, make sure you have adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
l
Installation of audio equipment or repairs in 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.
l
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con­sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pretensioner seat belts could cause injuries.
NOTE
l
The pretensioner seat belts will be activated if the vehicle suffers a severe impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l
The pretensioner seat belts are designed to work only once. After the pretensioner seat belts have been activated, we recommend you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning
The same warning lamp/display is shared by the SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp/display” on page 4-37.

In the event of a collision, each force limiter system will effectively absorb the load ap­plied to the seat belt to minimize the impact to the passenger.

Child restraint

When transporting children in your vehicle, some type of child restraint system should al­ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun­tries. The regulations concerning driving with chil­dren in the front seat may differ from country to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.
WARNING
l
When possible, put children in the rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil­dren of all sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
l
Holding a child in your arms is no substi­tute for a restraint system. Failure to use a proper restraint system can result in se­vere or fatal injury to the child.
l
Each child restraint device or fixing is to be used only by one child.
WARNING
l
When attaching a child restraint system to the rear seat, prevent the front seat­backs from touching the child’s feet and child restraint system. Otherwise, the child could be seriously in­jured in the event of hard braking or a collision.
Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicles with a front passenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a front passenger airbag.
WARNING
l
Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a rearward facing child re­straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI­OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air­bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-30.)

WARNING
l
A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air­bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause se­rious injuries to the child. A rearward facing child restraint should be used in the rear seat.
l
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT should be used in the rear seat whenever possible; if it must be used in the front passenger seat, turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail­ure to do so could kill or cause serious in­juries to the child.
l
A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE­STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat when driver’s visibility is obstructed.
Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l
For small infants, an infant carrier should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the face or the throat, a child seat should be used.
l
The child restraint system should be ap­propriate for the child’s weight and height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
l
Before purchasing a child restraint sys­tem, try installing it in the rear seat to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install some manu­facturer’s child restraint systems. If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seat cushion after the seat belt has been tightened, choose another manufac­turer’s child restraint system.
WARNING
l
When installing a child restraint system, refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system. Failure to do so can result in severe or fa­tal injury to the child.
l
After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is properly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the child or other occupants in the case of accident or sudden stops.
l
When the child restraint system is not in use, keep your child restraint system se­cured with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle in order to prevent it from be­ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur­ing an accident.

NOTE
l
Depending on the seating position in the ve­hicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint can be attached us­ing one of the following two ways:
Using the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 4-23).
Using the seat belt (See page 4-25).
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child re­straint system should be seated in the rear seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt should be snug and positioned low on the abdomen so that it is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo­men during an accident and cause injury.

Installing a child restraint sys­tem to the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child restraint mount­ings) and tether anchorage
Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with lower anchorages for attaching a child restraint sys­tem with ISOFIX mountings.
For vehicles with ISOFIX marking
For vehicles with i-Size marking
AFA123866B
Tether anchorage locations
Your vehicle has two child restraint anchor­age points on the backside of the rear seats. These are for securing a child restraint sys­tem tether strap to each of the two rear seat­ing positions in your vehicle.
WARNING
l
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach­ing other items or equipment to the vehi­cle.
CAUTION
l
Do not sit in the centre seating position of the rear seat when installing a child restraint system on the left side of the rear seat. Because the child restraint interferes with the seat belt, you cannot fasten the seat belt correctly.
Child restraint system with ISOFIX mountings
The child restraint system is designed only for seats that incorporate lower anchorages. Retain the child restraint system using the lower anchorages. It is not necessary to retain the child restraint system using the vehicle’s seat belts.

Seat belt inspection

Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web­bing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec­tive.
WARNING
l
We recommend you to have all seat belt assemblies including retractors and at­taching hardware inspected 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.
l
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom­mend you to have this work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace­ment could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could result in serious injury in the event of a collision.
WARNING
l
Once the pretensioner has been activated, it cannot be re-used. It must be replaced together with the re­tractor.
l
Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi­tion, do not modify, remove or install the seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.
l
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 will affect their characteristics.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag

The information for SRS airbags includes im­portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain airbags. The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air­bags are designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by providing those oc­cupants with protection against head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip­ped) is designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate­to-severe frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de­signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen­ger with protection against chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli­sions.
