Before fitting any accessories, please consult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, optional
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.
Only MITSUBISHI approved accessories should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modifications/Alterations to the electrical or fuel systems section within this
manual.
(3) When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set is used by
using an internal antenna alone, it may
interfere with the vehicle’s electrical
system and adversely affect safe
operation of the vehicle.
(4) Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
(5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-
tions before first putting into service and
prior to the attachment or installation of
accessories, parts or other modifications to the vehicle!
Important points!
Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufacturers in the market, it is not possible, not only
for MITSUBISHI, but also an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer, to check whether the
attachment or installation of such parts
affects the driving 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. Only in the case of parts
(MITSUBISHI original replacement or
exchange parts as well as MITSUBISHI
accessories) that are recommended and
released by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer and that are attached or installed by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer can you
assume, that optimal safety has been provided. The same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with
respect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases as well, you
should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

General information
Modifications / alterations to
the electric or fuel systems
EB11A-D
MITSUBISHI has always manufactured
safe, high quality vehicles. In order to maintain this safety and quality, it is important
that any accessory that is to be fitted, or
any modifications carried out which involve
the electric or fuel systems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
guidelines.
CAUTION
Please consult an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer concerning any such
fitment or modification.
If the wires interfere with the vehicle
body or improper installation methods are used (protective fuses not
included, etc.), electronic devices
may be adversely affected, resulting in a fire or other accident.

Loading a roof carrier
CAUTION
Do not load luggage directly on the
roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits your vehicle.
For installation, refer to the instruction manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
EB10A-N
Roof carrier precaution
EB10A-R
CAUTION
(1) Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the
allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is
exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on the roof (the weight
of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer
to the “Maximum roof load” on
page 10-7.
1-11
General information
CAUTION
(2) When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to
drive slowly and avoid excessive maneuvers such as sudden braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than
the roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof
could heighten the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect the
vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or
emergency maneuvers could
lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
(3) Before driving and after travel-
ling a short distance, always
check the load to make sure it is
securely fastened to the roof
carrier.
Check periodically during your
travel that the load remains
secure. If the load is not secure,
it could fall from the vehicle and
damage your vehicle, another
vehicle or create road hazard.
NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in
gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.
(2) Before using an automatic car wash,
check with the attendant to determine if the roof carrier should be
removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate clearance is
maintained for raising the sunroof when
installing a roof carrier. (For vehicle with
sunroof)
Genuine parts
EB05A-Fj
Don’t play around with substitutes.
MITSUBISHI has gone to great lengths to
bring you a superbly crafted vehicle offering the highest quality and dependability.
Don’t reduce that quality and dependability by using substitute parts.
Always use MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts
designed and manufactured to maintain
your MITSUBISHI vehicle at top performance. The operation of vehicle components can be less efficient in case of using
Non-Genuine Parts.
Failure to use Genuine Parts may invalidate any future warranty claim.
MITSUBISHI will not be liable for any malfunction of your vehicle that may have been
caused by the use of substitute parts in
place of MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts.
At the MITSUBISHI dealer you can also get
appropriate advice and the assembling of
Genuine Parts will be handled professionally.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts are identified by this mark, and are available at all
authorized MITSUBISHI dealers.

General information
Used engine oils safety instructions
EB12A-B
WARNING
(1) Prolonged and repeated con-
tact may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and
cancer.
(2) Avoid contact with the skin as far
as possible and wash thoroughly after any contact.
(3) Keep used engine oils out of
reach of children.
Protect the environment
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses
and soil. Use authorized waste collection
facilities, including civic amenity sites and
garages providing facilities for disposal of
used oil and used oil filters. If in doubt, contact your local authority for advice on disposal.
Driving and alcohol
EB25A-Aa
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one
of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can even be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels below
the legal maximum. If you are drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or
use public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an
accident. Your perceptions are less
sharp, your reflexes are slower, and
your judgement is impaired when
you have been drinking.
NEVER DRINK AND THEN DRIVE.
Safe driving techniques
EB26A-I
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recommend that you pay extra attention to the
following:
(1) Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.
(2) Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and children inside the vehicle. Children may
play with the driving controls and this
could lead to an accident.
(3) Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accordance with the laws and regulations,
and for maximum protection in case of
an accident.
1-13
General information
(4) Switch off the engine if you stop for a
short sleep. If the engine is left running while you sleep, unexpected
vehicle operation or other accidents
may be caused by unconsciously moving the shift lever (selector lever on
automatic transmission vehicles) or
pressing the accelerator pedal. If you
inadvertently keep the accelerator
pedal pressed, the engine may overheat or the engine, exhaust pipe, etc.
may be abnormally overheated, resulting in an accidental fire. If poorly ventilated, there is a risk of poisoning by
exhaust gases.
(5) Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is illegal to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is
moving.
(6) 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 projected into the
passenger compartment under hard
braking.
Three keys are provided. Two of them are
master keys and the third is a sub key.
The master keys fit all locks. Keep one in
a safe place as a spare key.
The sub key fits all locks except the glove
box.
The electronic immobilizer is designed to
reduce significantly the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is
attempted.Avalidstart attempt can only be
achieved (subject to certain conditions),
using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
NOTE
(1) The key number is stamped on the tag
as indicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and
store the key and key number tag in
separate places, so that you can order
a key from your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer in the event the original
keys are lost.
(2) As your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, the engine is
designed so that it will not start if the ID
code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the section entitled
“Electronic immobilizer” for details and
key usage.
(3) Keys should never be placed in areas
which contain magnetic or metal
objects as this may interfere with the
transponder.
2-2
Locking and unlocking
NOTE
(1) In the following cases, the vehicle may
not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the key. This means the
engine will not start even when the registered key is turned to the “START”
position.
• When the key contacts a key ring or
other metallic or magnetic object
(TypeA)
• When the key grip contacts metal of
another key (Type B)
• When the key contacts another
immobilizing key, or some other transponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object
or additional key from the vehicle key
and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try again to start
the engine.
If the engine does not start, consult an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(2) Be careful not to damage the key with
a cutter etc. since there is a transponder inside the key.
(3) Three keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a key
from your authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining keys to your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. All the
keys have to be re-registered in the
immobilizer computer unit. The immobilizer allows up to 8 different ID codes
to be registered; you can possess a
maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTION
Do not make any alterations or additions to the immobilizer system; alterations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.
