CAUTION
● For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of leaded fuel
can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter.

OTE
● Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock control system so
that you can use unleaded petrol 91 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 91 RON, the engine performance level is reduced.
● In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driving short dis-
tance 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 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 genuine
MITSUBISHI 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 as hard start-
ing, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If your 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.

General information
● In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality diesel 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 genuine MITSUBISHI DIESEL FUEL
SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Filling the fuel tank
!
WARNING
● When handling fuel, comply with the safety regula-
tions displayed by garages and filling stations.
● Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to 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
vapor.
● Perform the whole refuelling process (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
vapor could be ignited.
● Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, cleaning your windscreen) partway through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
● If the tank cap must be replaced, use only a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS original part.

!
CAUTION
● Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
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.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
!
CAUTION
● Do not tilt the gun.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel
any more.
6. 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.

Installation of accessories
E00200300774
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
● The installation of accessories, optional parts, should only
be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your
country, and in accordance with the guidelines fitting
instructions and warnings contained within the documents
accompanying the parts or accessories.
● Improper installation of electrical components may cause
an electrical fire if incorrectly fitted. 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 vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
● Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
● When fitting accessories, ensure that maximum gross
vehicle weight and maximum axle weight are not
exceeded.
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. Only in the case of parts (MITSUBISHI MOTORS original replacement or exchange parts as
well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that are
recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attached or installed by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point can you
assume, that optimal safety has been provided. The same also
pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicle with respect
to the production specifications. For your own safety, in such
cases, you should only undertake modifications according to
the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

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 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 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 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 with
adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
● Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.

are used the same way as a conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pre-tensioner system and force limiter system” on page 2-43.
!
WARNING
● Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or
under your arm.
● One seat belt should be used by only one person.
Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
● The seat belt will provide its wearer with maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed in fully
upright position. When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward impact accident, and may be injured by the belt or by striking
the instrument panel or seatbacks.
● Seat belts should always be worn by every adult who
drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children
who are large enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child
restraint systems.
● Remove any twists when using the belt.

a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatically locks to hold
the wearer’s body.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate.
OTE
● When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a locked con-
dition, pull the belts once forcefully and then return them.
After that, pull the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is
heard.

Seat belt reminder/warning lamp
E00409800338
The seat belt warning lamp is located on the instrument panel.
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the warning lamp will illuminate and a tone will sound for about 6 seconds. If the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened for
approximately 1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and
the tone sound intermittently (each 12 times) when the vehicle
is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens the seat belt
while driving, the warning lamp and tone will issue further
warnings. And if the seat belt remains unfastened, the warning
lamp and tone will issue further warnings each time the vehicle
starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the
warnings will stop.

WARNING
● Seat belts work for everyone, including 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.
Seat belt pre-tensioner system and force
limiter system
E00405700081
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each have a seat
belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system.
Pre-tensioner system
The pre-tensioner system will retract their respective seat belts
instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness,
if there is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the driver
and/or front passenger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
!
WARNING
● To obtain the best results from your pre-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 the
vicinity of the pre-tensioner 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 pre-tensioner systems.

CAUTION
● If you need to scrap the vehicle, please consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pre-tensioner seat belts could cause injuries.
OTE
2
● The pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated if the vehicle
suffers a severe frontal impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.
● The pre-tensioner seat belts are designed to work only
once. After the pre-tensioner seat belts have been activated, we recommend you have it 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 2-75.
Force limiter system
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.
E00405900083

Child restraint
E00406401066
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.
!
WARNING
● When possible, put children in the rear seat. Acci-
dent 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 your
child.
● Each child restraint device or fixing is to be used
only by one child.
● When attaching a child restraint to the rear seat,
place the front seatbacks in the upright position.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in
the event of hard braking or a collision.

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.
!
WARNING
● Extreme Hazard!
Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
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 2-64.)
Front passenger’s airbag ON
!
WARNING
● A REARWARD FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
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 must only be used in the rear seat.
2
2-45
Page 92
Seat and seat belts
!
WARNING
● A FORWARD FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
should be used in the rear seat whenever possible; if
used in the front seat, adjust the seat to the most
rearward position.
Infants and small children
E00406600641
When transporting infants and small children in your vehicle,
follow the instruction given below.
2
Instruction:
● For small infants, an infant carrier 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 appropriate for your
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.
2-46
Page 93
Seat and seat belts
N
● Before purchasing a child restraint system, 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, refer to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
restraint system. Failure to do so can result in severe
or fatal injury to your child.
● After installation, push and pull the child restraint
system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it
is positively 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 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.
OTE
● 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 locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat (3-door models)/
second seat (5-door models) ONLY if the child restraint
has ISOFIX mountings (See page 2-54).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-57).
Older children
E00406700147
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.
