Car seats (Mitsubishi Lancer 9)

Attention:

• Be sure to adjust the seat before you travel. Adjust the height of the headrest so that its center is at eye level.
• After adjustment, make sure the seat is securely locked in place.
• When driving, do not place a pillow or anything similar between your back and the seat back. This will reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints in an accident.

To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the driver and passenger seat backs must be in an upright position while the vehicle is moving. When the seat back is tilted backwards, the protective effect of the seat belts is significantly reduced. There is a risk that a person will slip out from under the belts in the event of a collision and sudden stop of the vehicle, which can lead to serious injury.

ISOFIX child seat anchorages

Child seats are equipped with special additional fastenings to prevent them from tipping over in the event of a collision.

Rear seats equipped with ISOFIX child seat anchorages have a label that says "ISOFIX" on one side and "LATCH" on the other.

ISOFIX child seat anchorages are designed to keep children safe while driving (contact your MITSUBISHI dealer for more information).

The ISOFIX child seat anchorages are located between the rear seat cushion and backrest.

Child seats are secured using ISOFIX mountings.
