Recommended fuel
CAUTION
The use of leaded fuel can result in serious
l
damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
Your vehicles have the knock control system
l
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.
NOTE
E00200103249
Unleaded petrol octane number (EN228)
95 RON or higher
NOTE
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 of
l
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.

Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
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 genuine 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.
1.Remove
2.Close
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
l
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

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 incorrect-
l
ly could lead to a fire. Please refer to the
Modification/alteration to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
l
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet
l
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
When fitting accessories, ensure that

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.

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 an-
•
other 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.

E00305601927
The keyless operation system allows you to
lock and unlock the doors and tailgate, start
the engine and change the operation mode
simply by carrying the keyless operation key
with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as
the keyless entry system remote control
switch.
Refer to “Starting and stopping the engine”
on page 6-15.
Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page
3-03.
OA0X16E1
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 pace-
l
makers 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.
Page 34
Keyless operation system*
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-
l
weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, 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.
NOTE
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 lock/unlock without using
the keyless operation function” on page
3-10.
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 2
years, depending on usage conditions. When
the battery wears out, have it replaced a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the remote
control switch battery” on page 3-04.
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.
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.
E00305700543
NOTE
If the keyless operation key battery is wear-

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
4
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 adjustments 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 in
l
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 adult or
l
with adult supervision for correct and safe
operation.
Do not place a cushion or the like between
l
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.

Heated seats*
E00401102209
The heated seats can be operated with the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON.
Operate the switch as indicated by arrows.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the heater is on.
1 (HI) - Heater high (for quick heating).
2 - Heater off.
3 (LO) - Heater low (to keep the seat
warm).
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 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 mate-
l
rial 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, alcohol
l
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 the
l
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
Turn the heater off immediately if it appears
l
to be malfunctioning during use.

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 on
l
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

Seat belts
E00404800883
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 belt 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 4-08.
WARNING
Seat belts should always be worn by every
l
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.
l
No modifications or additions should be
l
made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
Never hold a child in your arms or on
l
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.

WARNING
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.
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.
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
When attaching a child restraint system
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.

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.
NOTE
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 4-14).
Using the seat belt (See 4-15).
•
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.

metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if it is defective.
A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
l
tral 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.
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
E00407203339
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’s airbag and the SRS front
passenger’s 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-tosevere 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.

How the Supplemental Restraint System works
E00407301785
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.
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.
CAUTION
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
l
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts,
bruises, and the like.
OA0X16E1
WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
l
PROPERLY 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.
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.

Deployment of front airbags
E00412500313
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.
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 with-
in the shaded area between the arrows
4-20
Seat and seat belts
OA0X16E1
Page 68
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
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.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow 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.
The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags are not designed to deploy
in conditions where they cannot typically
provide protection to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
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).

2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and

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 material, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.
Do not set anything on, or attach anything
l
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 objects
l
between the airbags and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
WARNING
Right after the airbag inflation, several
l
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you could be burned.
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.

WARNING
The side airbags and curtain airbags are
l
designed to supplement the driver and
passenger seat belts in certain side impacts. Seat belts should always be worn
properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
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.
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.

there may be a problem with the SRS airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners, and
they may not function properly in a collision or may suddenly activate without a
collision:
Even when the ignition switch or the
•
operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on.
The SRS warning lamp comes on while
•
driving.
The SRS airbags and seat belt pretensioners are designed to help reduce the risk of
serious injury or death in certain collisions.
If either of the above conditions occurs,
immediately have your vehicle checked by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
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.
E00407901648
NOTE
If your vehicle has to be scrapped, do this in
l
line with local legislation and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point to safely dismantle the airbag system.

l
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, we recommend you to have the system checked.
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is
l
running, avoid driving at high speeds and
have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.
Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response
may be negatively influenced under there
conditions.
NOTE
The engine electronic control module ac-
l
commodating the onboard diagnostic system
has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warning lamp
is ON.

Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become blocked
l
partway through a sweep by ice or other
deposits on the glass, the wipers may
temporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, and
then remove the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again after the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the glass is
l
dry.
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.
E00507601431
Periodically check the level of washer
l
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function
and frost damage to the system components.
