NOTE
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.

The additive will break up and remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition.
Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an

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 MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for
example
praisal 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 vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on the part of the appraiser or the official. Only in
the case of parts (MITSUBISHI MOTORS original
replacement or exchange parts as well as
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that
are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI

metallic or magnetic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of another key (Type B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object or
additional key from the vehicle key and
turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try again to start
the engine.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
l
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo 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.
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
To minimize the risk of personal injury
l
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.
CAUTION
Make
l
l
l

sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
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.

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.)
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
l
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into it.
Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
l
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
l
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other organic solvents; these might damage the

person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
The seat belt will provide its wearer with
l
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.
Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
l
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
Remove any twists when using the belt.
l
No modifications or additions should be
l
made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from

Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children in
your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
E00406600768
Instruction:
For small infants, an infant carrier should be
l
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.
The child restraint system should be appropri-
l
ate for the child’s weight and height and properly fit in the vehicle.
Before purchasing a child restraint system,
l
try installing it in the 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

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.
WARNING
When the child restraint system is not in
l
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
Depending
l
hicle and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat
• To the seat belt (See page 2-26).
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.

Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag*
The information written in this Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, side
and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger 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 side airbag is designed to supplement the
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest injury
in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supplement the properly worn seat belts and provide the
driver and passengers with protection against head
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact
collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum protection in all types of crashes and accidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle.
E00407201797
WARNING
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
IT
l
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG:
WARNING
• Seat
belts help keep the driver and passengers properly positioned, which reduces injury risk in all collisions, and
reduces the risk of serious or fatal injuries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a
collision, an unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or passengers can
move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the collision.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause serious or fatal injuries if the occupant
contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in
roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and
in lower-speed frontal collisions, because driver’s and passenger’s airbags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being
thrown from your vehicle in a collision or roll-over.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
l
ERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-

bags may not protect you properly, and
could
cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates.
• Before driving, adjust the driver’s
seat as far back as possible while still
maintaining complete control of the vehicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
2
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are always properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the
driver and passengers should sit well
back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
l
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel.
Do not put feet or legs on or against the
instrument panel.
WARNING
Infants and small children should never
l
be unrestrained, stand up against the instrument panel or be held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously injured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.
WARNING
A
REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT 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.
NOTE
If
you have a rearward facing child restraint
l
system that cannot be fitted to any seat other
than the front passenger seat, be sure to turn
OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an

3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front impact sensors
5- Airbag control unit
6- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch

Seat and seat belts
OCRE12E1
The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When the airbag control unit detect an impact of sufficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition signal to the airbag modules to ignite materials in the
inflator and generate gas and inflate the airbags.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
2
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detecting an impact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye.

vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact.
A typical condition is shown in the illustration.
The front airbags will deploy if the severity of impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting straight into a solid wall that
does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the front airbags may not deploy. However, this threshold
speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either
deforming or moving (for example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always properly wear
your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you
in a safe distance from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the
most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your vehicle
are your primary means of protection in a collision.
The SRS airbags are designed to provide additional
protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.
The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock
to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may deform significantly as it
absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the
front airbags may not deploy irrespective of the deformation and damage to the vehicle body. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.

door, since the side airbags and curtain
airbags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.
WARNING
Do
not allow any rear seat occupant to
l
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbag. Special
care should be taken with children.
Do not place any objects near or in front
l
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag inflation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
Do not place stickers, labels or additional
l
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
Do not install seat covers on seats with
l
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that

the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
2
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
l
ted object on the coat hook.
If the curtain airbag was activated, any
such item could be propelled away with
great force and could prevent the curtain
airbag from inflating correctly. Hang
clothes directly on the coat hook (without
using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
Do not allow a child to lean against or
l
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be
leaned against or be close to the area of
the seat where the side airbag and curtain airbag are located. It is dangerous if
the side airbag and curtain airbag inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
We recommend work around and on the
l
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by MITSUBISHI MOTORS
