tomatically controlling the distribution
of driving torque to
all four wheels according to the driving conditions.
4WD LOCK This mode is for
driving in slippery
conditions such as on

CAUTION
For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
l
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the
engine and catalytic converter. Do not use
leaded fuel.
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane
number (EN228)
[2000 and 2400 models]
95 RON or higher (Vehicles to comply with the
Euro 6 regulation)
90 RON or higher (Vehicles to comply with the
Euro 4 regulation)
[3000 models]
95 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
E00200104611
CAUTION
Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
l
only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect
the engine’s performance and durability.
NOTE
Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
l
trol system so that you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case
unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not
available on journey, etc.
In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the
engine specially. In case of using unleaded
petrol 90 RON, the engine performance level is reduced.
Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
l
of the fuel decreases considerably as the
temperature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in accordance with ambient temperature.
Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
NOTE
In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driv-
l
ing short distances at low speeds can cause
deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are
advised to add a detergent additive to the
petrol when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure
to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an
unsuitable additive could make the engine
malfunction. For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
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.

Filling the fuel tank
NOTE
In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality die-
l
sel fuel can cause deposits form in the injector, resulting in black smoke and rough
idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the
deposits, thereby returning the engine to a
normal condition.
Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
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 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) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
E00200204045
WARNING
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
l
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.
Fuel tank capacity
2WD models: 63 litres
4WD models: 60 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
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
NOTE
While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on
l
the hook (A) located on the inside of the fuel
tank filler door.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the gun.
l
5. When the gun stops automatically, do
not fill with fuel any more.
6. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then
gently push the fuel tank filler door
closed.
Installation of accessories
E00200300963
We recommend you to consult your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
The installation of accessories, optional
l
components, 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.

Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems
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.

In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page
3-19.
NOTE
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, replace the battery according to the description in this manual or
have it replaced at your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the remote
control switch battery” on page 3-06.
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 or front
passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK switch or the tailgate open
switch, the ID code for your key is verified.
E00305701625
You can only lock and unlock the doors and
tailgate and start the engine only 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
E00400301715
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 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.
-
WARNING
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.
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.
CAUTION
The reclining mechanism of the front seat’s
l
seatback is spring loaded, causing it to return
to the vertical position when the lock lever is
operated. When using the lever, sit close to
the seatback or hold it with your hand to
control its return motion.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to
l
catch your hand or foot.
When adjusting the front seat while the sec-
l
ond seat is folded, be careful not to apply
strong force to the flipped second seat cushion.
Doing so could cause damage to the cover of
the front seat and the fitting of the second
seat cushion.

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

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

WARNING
Seat belts work for everyone, including
l
pregnant women. Pregnant women should
use the available seat belts. This will reduce the likelihood of injury to both the
woman and the unborn child. The lap belt
should be worn across the thighs and as
snug against the hips as possible, but not
across the waist. Consult your doctor if
you have any additional questions or concerns.

The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat
each have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system and force limiter system.
Pretensioner system
E00405802376
When the ignition switch or the operation
mode is under the following conditions, if
there is a frontal impact or a side impact (vehicles equipped with SRS side airbags and
SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure
the driver and/or front passenger, the pretensioner system will retract their respective seat
belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the
seat belt’s effectiveness.
[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.
WARNING
To obtain the best results from your pre-
l
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear
your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
l
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.
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 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 it replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
SRS warning
E00405900360
The same warning lamp/display is shared by
the SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat
belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp/display” on
page 4-36.
Force limiter system
E00406001222
In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load applied to the seat belt to minimize the impact
to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406403262
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.

Child restraint
WARNING
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
4
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.
Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicle with front passenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger’s airbag.
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.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 4-29)
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.
Failure to do so could kill or cause serious
injuries to the child.

Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
E00406602137
Instruction:
For small infants, an infant carrier
l
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
The child restraint system should be ap-
l
propriate 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.
Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
l
tem, 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.
Child restraint
NOTE
Depending on the seating position in the ve-
l
hicle and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two locations:
Using the lower anchorage in the rear seat
•
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (See page 4-24).
Using the seat belt (See page 4-25).
•
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child restraint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug
and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise,
the belt could intrude into the child’s abdomen during an accident and cause injury.

Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s second seat is fitted with lower anchorages for attaching a child restraint
system with ISOFIX mountings.
E00406901999
Tether anchorage location
There are 2 child restraint anchorage points
located on the back of the second seatbacks.
These are for securing a child restraint system tether strap to each of the 2 rear seating
positions in your vehicle.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed
l
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Child restraint system with ISOFIX mountings
The child restraint system is designed only
for seats that incorporate lower anchorages.

Seat belt inspection
WARNING
For some types of child restraint, the lock-
l
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sudden manoeuvre.
4
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed.
Seat belt inspection
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
l
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if it is defective.
E00406301603
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.
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
E00407203313
The information for SRS airbags includes important information concerning the driver’s
and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s
knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those occupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equipped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It
can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased
overall body protection in certain moderateto-severe frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries in
certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
4-26
Seats and seat belts
OGFE16E1
Page 99
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger
with protection against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection during all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.
How the Supplemental Restraint System works
E00407301697
The SRS includes the following components:
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules*
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, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.

WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
l
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
4
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 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 sit
l
with your lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean 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.
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.
WARNING
Older children should be seated in the
l
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,
with an appropriate booster seat if needed.
