Fuel selection
Recommended
fuel
Unleaded petrol octane number
(EN228)
95 RON or higher
CAUTION
The use of leaded fuel can result in seri-
l
ous damage to the engine and catalytic
converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
NOTE
Your vehicles have the knock control system
l
so that you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON
as an emergent measure in case unleaded pet-
rol 95 RON or higher is not available on jour-
ney, 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.
E00200103249
Repeatedly driving short distances at low
l
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 gasoline 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 a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
l
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.
E10 type petrol
The petrol engines are compatible with the E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming
to European standards EN 228.
E00203200019
CAUTION
Do not use more than 10 % concentration
l
of ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration
may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel
system, engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
When handling fuel, comply with the safe-
l
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
l
sive. You could be burned or seriously injured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always turn the engine off
and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
l
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or the
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites
fuel vapour.
Perform the whole refueling process
l
(opening the fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not
let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to
help you and that person was carrying
static electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
l
er until refueling is finished. If you
moved away and did something else (for
example, sitting on a seat) partway
through the refueling process, you could
pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
l
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.

Fuel tank capacity
35 litres
Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left
side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door by pulling the
release lever located on the side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turning the cap anticlockwise.
A- Remove
B- Close
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
l
sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you
or others.
General information
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of the
fuel tank filler door.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the gun.
l
6. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill
with fuel any more.
7. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly clockwise until you hear clicking
sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler
door closed.

General information
Installation of accessories
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The installation of accessories, optional
l
parts, etc., should only be carried out within
the limits prescribed by law in your country,
and in accordance with the guidelines and
warnings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle.
Installing electric components incorrectly
l
could lead to a fire. Please refer to Modification/alteration to the electrical or fuel systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
l
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
l
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
When fitting accessories, ensure that maxi-
l
mum gross vehicle weight and maximum
axle weight are not exceeded.
E00200301045
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 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 vehicle 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
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS authorized Service Point.
Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
Keyless entry key Keyless operation key
theft starting system)
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
[Vehicles without keyless operation system]
l
In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the registered key and engine may not
start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object
• 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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Refer to “Starting” on page 4-12.
Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 1-03.
The driver should always carry the keyless operation key. This key is necessary for locking and unlocking the doors and tailgate, starting the engine
and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that
you have the keyless operation key.

WARNING
People with implantable cardiac pacemak-
l
ers 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.
1-04
OA0X13E4
Page 31
WARNING
When using electro-medical devices other
l
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators, contact the electro-medical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the affects of radio waves on the devices.
Electro-medical device operations could
be affected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the keyless
operation system. Please consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point for details.
NOTE
The keyless operation key uses an ultra-weak
l
electromagnetic wave. In the following ca-
ses, the keyless operation system may not operate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a power station, a radio/TV broadcasting station or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried together with a communications device
such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a personal computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used nearby.
• When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.
• When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page
1-07.
Because the keyless operation key receives
l
signals in order to communicate with the transmitters in the vehicle, the battery continually
wears down regardless of keyless operation
key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, depending on usage conditions. When the battery wears out, have it replaced a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Because the keyless operation key continual-
l
ly receives signals, strong radio wave reception could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or other electronic device.
Locking and unlocking
Operating range of the keyless operation system
If you are carrying the keyless operation key, enter
the operating range of the keyless operation system, and press the driver’s door switch, or the tailgate switch, the ID code for your key is verified.
You can only lock and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine and change the operation
mode if the ID codes of your keyless operation key
and the vehicle match.
NOTE
If the keyless operation key battery is wear-
l
ing out or there are strong electromagnetic
waves or noise present, the operating range
may become smaller and operation may become unstable.

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
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
l
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an accident. After ad-
2
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without using the adjusting mechanism.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
l
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.
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.
E00400300558
CAUTION
Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
l
adult or with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
Do not place a cushion or the like be-
l
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to
l
catch your hand or foot.
Front seat

CAUTION
Operate in the high position for quick heat-
l
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low 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.
If the following types of persons use the
l
heated seats, they might become too hot
CAUTION
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
Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alco-
l
hol or other organic solvents when cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage not
only the seat cover, but also the heater element.
If water or any other liquid is spilled on
l
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
l
pears to be malfunctioning during use.

Head restraints
WARNING
Driving without the head restraints in
l
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.
Never place a cushion or similar device
l
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
When a person sits in the rear seat, pull
l
up the head restraint to a height at which
it locks in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious injuries could otherwise be suffered
as the result of an impact.
E00403301644
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre
of the 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 restraint to reach
their seated ear level, should adjust the restraint as
high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To lower the restraint, move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked.
To remove
Lift the head restraint with the height adjusting
knob (A) pushed in.
To install
Confirm that the head restraint is facing the correct
direction, and then insert it into the seatback while
pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction indicated by the arrow.

OA0X13E4
WARNING
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.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
Always place the shoulder belt over your
l
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
One seat belt should be used by only one
l
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.
Remove any twists when using the belt.

seat belt properly.
CAUTION
Installation of audio equipment or re-
l
pairs 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.
CAUTION
If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
l
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. It is important to do
so because unexpected activation of the
pretensioner seat belts could cause injuries.
NOTE
The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
l
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact,
even if the seat belts are not worn.
The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
l
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend
you have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbags
and the pretensioner seat belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp” on page 2-25.

Child restraint
Front passenger’s airbag ON
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.
E00406401835
Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a
front passenger airbag.
E00406500510
Seat and seat belts
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
2-19)
When possible, put children in the rear
l
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.
Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
l
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in severe or fatal injury to the child.
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
l
be used only by one child.
When attaching a child restraint system
l
to the rear seat, prevent the front seatbacks from touching the child restraint
system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in the event of hard braking or a collision.
WARNING
WARNING
Extreme Hazard!
l
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.
OA0X13E4
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. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT 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.

Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children in
your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
2
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. For a higher degree of
safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR
SEAT.
E00406600872
Before purchasing a child restraint system,
l
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
When installing a child restraint system,
l
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.
After installation, push and pull the child
l
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.
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.
have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat,
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (See page 2-15).
• To the seat belt (See 2-16).
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.

Seat belt inspection
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
l
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defective.
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
l
tergent 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.
E00406300576
WARNING
We recommend you to have all seat belt
l
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.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
l
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.
Once the pretensioner has been activated,
l
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the retractor.
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 airbag and the SRS front passenger
airbag 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 airbags 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.
The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear outboard seat 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.
E00407202244
How the Supplemental Restraint System works
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Curtain airbag modules
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Driver)
4- Airbag module (Passenger)
5- Side airbag modules
6- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
Only when the ignition switch or the operation
mode is under the following conditions, the airbags
will operate.
[Except for 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.

Seat and seat belts
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
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.
WARNING
Place all infants and small children in the
l
rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants and children.
2
CAUTION
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
l
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.
WARNING
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 passengers are not properly seated and restrained, the airbags
may not protect you properly, and could
cause serious or fatal injuries when it inflates.
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.
2-18
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 the rear seat in an appropriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.
OA0X13E4
WARNING
Older children should be seated in the
l
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,
with an appropriate booster seat if needed.

SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front passenger seat,
be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ONOFF switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 2-19.)
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is located
at shown in the illustration.

Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located at shown in the illustration.
The indication lamp normally comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or
the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off a
few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned OFF, the indication lamp will stay on to
show that the front passenger’s airbag is not operational.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
is turned ON, the indication lamp goes off to show
that the front passenger’s airbag is operational.
E00411500198
WARNING
Do not fit any accessory that makes the in-
l
dication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a sticker. You would not be able to verify the status of the front passenger’s airbag system.
To turn an airbag off
WARNING
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
l
• Always remove the key from the ignition switch before operating a front

Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or putting the operation mode in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the airbag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after operating that switch. Failure to
do so could lead to improper position
of the front passenger’s airbag ONOFF switch.
• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except

Deployment of front airbags
The front airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags are designed to deploy when the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact.
A typical condition is shown in the illustration.
E00412500313
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.
Seat and seat belts
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
2
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a
speed of approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact within the
shaded area between the arrows
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).
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.
OA0X13E4
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other nar-
row objects
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.

1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island or
kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits
the ground
Because the front airbags may deploy in certain
types of unexpected impacts as shown in the illustration that 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
if you contact it at this stage.
WARNING
Do not attach anything to the steering
l
wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-
rial, badges, etc. It might strike and in-
jure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
Do not set anything on, or attach any-
l
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to, or put them
l
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the airbags inflate.
Do not put packages, pets or other ob-
l
jects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
Right after the airbag inflation, several
l
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.

WARNING
The airbag system is designed to work on-
l
ly once. Once the airbags have deployed,
they will not work again. They must
promptly be replaced, and we recommend you to have the entire airbag system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Side airbag system
The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and
front passenger seatbacks.
The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the
side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no
passenger in the front seat.

Seat and seat belts
WARNING
The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate
l
with great force. The driver and passenger should not put their arms out of the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce the risk of serious or possible fatal injury from the deploying side airbag and curtain airbag.
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 airbags. 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.
WARNING
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 have side airbags. This could interfere with proper
side airbag inflation.
Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
l
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags activate such
as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or assist grips. When the curtain airbags inflate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Never install a rearward facing child re-
l
straint in the front passenger seat. A forward facing child restraint should be
used in the rear seat whenever possible. If
a forward facing child restraint must be
used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the
child restraint and away from the door.
Do not allow the child to lean against or
l
close to the 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
where the side airbags and curtain airbags are located. It is dangerous if the
side airbags and curtain airbags 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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning lamp
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”)
warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself and the lamp tells you if there is a problem. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
or “START” position, or the operation mode is put
in ON, the warning lamp should illuminate for several seconds and then should go out. This means
the system is ready.

SRS servicing
WARNING
We recommend any maintenance per-
l
formed on or near the components of the
SRS to be performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Improper work on the SRS components
or wiring could result in inadvertent deployment of the airbags, or could render
the SRS inoperative; either situation
could result in serious injury.
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
l
belt retractor or any other SRS components. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can adversely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
l
we recommend you to have the SRS inspected to ensure it is in proper working
order.
Do not modify your front seats, centre pil-
l
lar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance
and lead to possible injury.
If you found any tear scratch, crack or
l
damage to the portion where the airbag is
stored, you should have the SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become blocked by ice
l
or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean
the deposits from the glass so that the wipers
operate smoothly.
Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
l
They may scratch the glass surface and the
blades wear out prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold weather,
l
check that the wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously for
l
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.

Starting and driving
Economical driving
For economical driving, there are some technical requirements that have to be met. The prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle
and the most economical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and
noise are highly influenced by personal driving habits as well as the particular operating conditions.
The following points should be observed in order
to minimize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such operation will result in higher fuel consumption.
4
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed. Always use the highest shift position possible.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a low shift position at
high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible.
E00600101223
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of
the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount
of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low
tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with unnecessary luggage, etc., on the roof; the increased
air resistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by
keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the
fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or
a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of any of these medications.
E00600200096
WARNING
NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
l
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired.

Starting and driving
Safe driving techniques
Driving safety and protection against injury cannot
be fully ensured. However, we recommend that
you pay extra attention to the following:
E00600300619
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and
your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNING
Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by cor-
l
rectly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out of position, securely retain them using the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to
a serious accident.
Carrying children in the vehicle
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
l
key and children inside the vehicle. Children
may play with the driving controls and this
could lead to an accident.
Make sure that infants and small children are
l
properly restrained in accordance with the
laws and regulations, and for maximum protection in case of an accident.
Prevent children from playing in the luggage
l
compartment. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load
above the height of seats. This is dangerous not only because rearward vision will be obstructed, but
also the luggage may be projected into the passenger compartment under hard braking.
Running-in recommendations
During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km
(620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline
to aid long life as well as future economy and performance.
Do not race the engine at high speeds.
l
Avoid rapid starting, accelerating, braking
l
and prolonged high-speed running.
Keep to the running-in speed limit shown be-
l
low.
Please note that the legal speed limits displayed must be adhered to.
Do not exceed loading limits.
l
Refrain from towing a trailer.

E00600501751
NOTE
Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
l
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the
foot brake is released.
If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
l
stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the parking
l
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If you drive without the parking brake
fully released, the warning lamp will illuminate and a buzzer sounds when the vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph).
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
l
guish when the parking brake is fully released, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
