Fuel selection

Fuel selection
2
Recom­mended fuel
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. Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
l
only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 stand­ard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane number (EN228)
90 RON or higher If the “PREMIUM FUEL ONLY” label is attached to the fuel tank filler door, fill it up with premium fuel.
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
E00200104901
CAUTION
For diesel-powered vehicles, if proper “win-
l
ter” fuel is not used in winter, the diesel pre­heat indication lamp may blink and the en­gine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this case, keep the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch and immedi­ately turn it on again to confirm that the die­sel preheat indication lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel preheat indication lamp” on page 5-09.)
NOTE
It is advisable to sufficiently warm up the
l
engine after starting it when the outside tem­perature is below zero °C. 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 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 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 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. Before removing the fuel tank filler tube
l
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 vapour. Perform the whole refueling process
l
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov­ing the fuel tank filler tube 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 door 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 fuel tank filler tube cap must be re-
l
placed, use only a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.
Fuel tank capacity
E00200204087
5-door models: 88 litres
Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear right side of your vehicle. Open the fuel tank filler door with the release lever located below the instru­ment panel.

Installation of accessories

3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turning the cap anticlockwise.
2
A- Remove B- 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.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the gun.

General information
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
E00200302345
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
CAUTION
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosis
l
connector for checking and servicing the electronic control system. Do not connect a device other than a diagno­sis tool for inspections and service to this connector. Otherwise, the battery could be discharged, the electronic devices of the ve­hicle could malfunction, or other unexpected problems could result. In addition, malfunctions caused by connect­ing a device other than a diagnosis tool may not be covered under warranty.
OVWX17E1
The installation of accessories, optional
l
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 com-
l
ponents may cause an electrical fire if incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/alteration to the electrical or fuel systems section within this own­er’s manual. When installing the radio, for the re-
l
quired information (frequency, transmis­sion output, installing procedure), con­sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author­ized Service Point. If the frequency, transmission output and installing condition are not appropriate, it can adversely affect the electronic de­vices and could lead to unsafe vehicle operation. 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.
Page 17

Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems

When fitting accessories, ensure that
l
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 vehicles 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 vehicles 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.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems
E00200400254
MITSUBISHI MOTORS 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 electrical or fuel systems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION
If the wiring interferes with any part of the
l
vehicle bodywork or improper installation methods are used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc.), electronic devices may be ad­versely affected, possibly resulting in an electrical fire or other failures that may cause an accident.

Security alarm system*

Security alarm system*
E00301500657
The security alarm system is designed to pre­vent unlawful entry into the vehicle. It will alert people nearby if a door, the backdoor, or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has not been unlocked using the keyless entry system. Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the following occur.
Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehi-
l
cle. (the vehicle inclination detection function) Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the inte-
l
rior intrusion detection function) Disconnect the battery terminal.
l
The security alarm system is set to “active” when the vehicle leaves the factory. When making changes to the settings, please follow the procedure listed in the section ti­tled “Changing the system settings” on page 3-12.
CAUTION
Do not modify or add parts to the security
l
alarm system. Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.
NOTE
The alarm system will not be activated if the
l
doors (including the backdoor) have been locked using a key or the central door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry system). If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
l
locking and unlocking operation using the keyless entry system, the security alarm sys­tem may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv­ice Point. In the following situations, the security
l
alarm system could be more likely to be ac­cidentally activated.
Using a car wash
Taking the vehicle on a ferry
Parking in an automated car park
Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
Leaving a window, door, or the sunroof
open Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-
fed toy or accessory in the vehicle Suffering a continuous impact or vibra-
tion by hail, thunder, etc.
The sensitivity of the vehicle inclination de-
l
tection function and the interior intrusion de­tection function can be adjusted. For details, please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (ap­prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently, and the se­curity alarm indicator (A) blinks)
The system preparation time extends from the point at which all of the doors (including the backdoor) are locked by the keyless entry switch to the point at which the system acti­vation mode goes into effect. During this time, it is possible to temporarily open a door without using the keyless entry system and without causing the alarm to sound (for example, when you forget some­thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win­dow is open).

the front passenger’s door window and rear door windows (5-door models) while the lock switch is pressed in the “LOCK” posi­tion. For details, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv­ice Point.
Timer function
The door windows can be opened or closed for 30 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from the “ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. If the driver’s door is opened during this period, the door window can be opened or closed for another 30 sec­onds. However, once the driver’s door is closed, the windows cannot be operated.
Safety mechanism
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window, it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head or hand out of the window when closing a window. The lowered window will become operation­al after a few seconds.

WARNING
If the safety mechanism is activated three
l
or more times successively, the safety mechanism will be temporarily cancelled. If a hand or head got trapped, a serious injury could result.
CAUTION
The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
l
fore the window is fully closed. This allows the window to close completely. Therefore be especially careful that no fingers are trap­ped in the window.
NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the
l
driving conditions or other circumstances cause the door windows to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.
NOTE
If the safety mechanism is activated three or
l
more times in a row, the safety mechanism will be cancelled and the door window will not close correctly. In such a case, the following procedure should be implemented to rectify this situa­tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise the appropriate window switch until that window has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for at least 1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate all windows in the normal fashion.

Seat adjustment

Seat adjustment
E00400301988
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. 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.
WARNING
Do not place objects under the seats. This
l
could prevent the seat from locking se­curely, and it could lead to an accident. It may also cause damage to the seat or oth­er parts.
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.

CAUTION
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l
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. When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene,
l
kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other organic solvents; these might damage the surface of the seat and also the heater element.
CAUTION
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.

Head restraints
WARNING
Driving without the head restraints in
l
4
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.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre of the head restraint is as close as pos­sible to eye level to reduce the chances of in­jury in the event of collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the restraint as high as possible.
E00403301585
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.

Making a flat seat (Except for 3-door models equipped with the power seat)
By removing the head restraints and fully re­clining the seatbacks of the seats, one large flat seat is achieved.
WARNING
Never drive with passengers on the flat
l
seat. This is highly dangerous.
E00404301960
CAUTION
To make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a safe
l
place. Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
l
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation. When sliding the seat, be sure not to catch
l
your hand or leg. Do not walk around on top of the seats after
l
they have been laid flat. To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-
l
tempt to move them back and forth. Do not jump on, or impact the seatbacks
l
heavily. To raise the seatback, put a hand on the seat-
l
back and raise slowly. Never have a child do this operation, or an unexpected accident may result.
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a rear shelf (3-door models) / cargo area cover (5-door models), remove it before per­forming the following steps. Refer to “Rear shelf (3-door models)” on page 7-86 and “Cargo area cover (5-door mod­els)” on page 7-86.
2. Remove the head restraints from the front seats. If your vehicle is equipped with the third seat (5-door models), store the third seat into the luggage floor box.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-12 and “Storage of the third seat” on page 4-15.
3. Slide the front seats fully forward, then tip their seatbacks backward. On 5-door models, slide the front seats backward until their seatbacks touch the second seat.

Seat belts
E00404800072
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 belts 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 4-25.

Seat belts
WARNING
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
4
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. 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. 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. Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l
WARNING
Always wear the lap portion of the belt
l
over your hips.
3-point type seat belt (with emergency locking mechanism)
This type of belt requires no length adjust­ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical­ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
E00404902934
NOTE
You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
l
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
NOTE
When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
l
locked condition, 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.
WARNING
Never wear the lap portion of the belt
l
across your abdomen. During accidents it can press sharply against the abdomen and increase the risk of injury. The seat belts must not be twisted when
l
worn.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness as desired.

To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the button on the buckle.
NOTE
As the belt retracts automatically, keep hold-
l
ing the latch plate while retracting so that the belt stows slowly. Failure to do this could damage the vehicle. If the seat belt (A) or ring (B) becomes dirty,
l
the belt may not retract smoothly. If the seat belt and ring are dirty, clean them with a mild soap or detergent solution.
NOTE
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 come on 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.

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 pretensioner system and force limiter system

E00405701323
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
The pretensioner 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.
E00405800747
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 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 to have them replaced by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv­ice Point.

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.
Child restraint
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
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.
E00405900083
E00406000153
E00406403233
WARNING
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.
NOTE
The labels may be in different positions de-
l
pending on the vehicle model.
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 4-40.)
4-26
Seat and seat belts
OVWX17E1
Page 67
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 must only be used in the rear seat. A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
l
STRAINT 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
When transporting infants and small children in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
E00406602166
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.
Child restraint
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.

(3-door models) / second seat (5-door models) ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 4-34). Using the seat belt (See page 4-35).
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
E00406301690
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web­bing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec­tive.
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.
WARNING
Do not insert any foreign objects (pieces
l
of plastic, paper clips, buttons, etc.) in the buckle or retractor mechanism. In addi­tion, do not modify, remove or install the seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt may not be able to provide adequate protection in a collision or other situation.
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.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag

E00407203397
The information written in this Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section contains im­portant points concerning the driver, front passenger, side and curtain airbags.

Seat and seat belts
OVWX17E1
Page 77
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
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 and front passenger’s air­bags employ a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbag is controlled by the impact sensors (at the front of the vehicle) and the control unit (near the centre of the vehicle at floor level).
The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is de­signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen­ger with protection against chest injury in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli­sions.
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; 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

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.

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.
WARNING
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.
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 4-40.)
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 must only 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, adjust the seat to the most rearward position. Failure to do so could kill or cause serious injuries to the child.

To turn an airbag off
WARNING
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
l
Always remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. 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 from “ON” position to “LOCK” posi­tion. 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 ON-OFF switch.
E00410600453
WARNING
Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a rearward facing child restraint system is fitted to the front passenger seat. If the indication lamp does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON­OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a rearward facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat. We recom­mend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author­ized Service Point. If the indication lamp remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow any­one to sit on the front passenger seat. We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the “OFF” position.

Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
E00407400372
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad­ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel above the glove box. The driver’s airbag inflates at two different rates according to the severity of the impact.
The front passenger’s airbag deploys at the same time as the driver’s airbag, even if the passenger seat is not occupied, and inflates at two different rates according to the severity of the impact.
Deployment of front airbags
E00407501279
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

OVWX17E1
Seat and seat belts
4-41
Page 82
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 be-
4
low 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). 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 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 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. 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.

The side airbags and curtain airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of side collisions, the ve­hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de­form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec­tive of the deformation and damage to the ve­hicle body. Also, depending on the location of the impact, the side airbags and curtain air­bags may not deploy simultaneously.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Side impacts in an area away from the
passenger compartment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehi-
cle collides with the side of vehicle
3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other

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
4
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 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 the seats with side airbags. They 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
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
l
ted object on the coat hook. If the curtain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag from inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook. Do not allow a child to lean against or
l
close to the front door even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the area where the side airbag and curtain airbag are loca­ted. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain airbag 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.
WARNING
Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
l
hold onto the seatback of either front seat, in order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag. Special care should be taken with children.

SRS warning lamp
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po­sition. The SRS warning lamp will come on for several seconds and then go out. This is normal and means the system is working properly. If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning lamp will come on and stay on. The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pretensioner system.
E00407801706
WARNING
If any of the following conditions occur,
l
there may be a problem with the SRS air­bags and/or seat belt pretensioners, and they may not function properly in a colli-
WARNING
sion or may suddenly activate without a collision:
Even when the ignition switch is
in“ON” position, 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.
E00407901390
WARNING
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. On vehicles equipped with side airbags,
l
do not modify your front seats, centre pil­lar and centre console. It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury. If you found any tear, scratch, crack or damage to the seat fabric near the side airbag, the por­tion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, you should have the SRS inspec­ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au­thorized Service Point.
NOTE
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle
l
to some other person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is equipped with the SRS and refer the new owner to the applica­ble section in this owner’s manual.

Warning lamps

CAUTION
If the diesel preheat indication lamp comes
l
on after the engine is started, the engine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this case, keep the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch and immediately
5
turn it on again to confirm that the diesel preheat indication lamp is off.
NOTE
If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
l
cation lamp is on for a longer time. When the engine has not been started within
l
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi­cation lamp went out, return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the switch to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again. When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
l
indication lamp does not come on even if the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” posi­tion.
Fuel filter indication lamp (die­sel-powered vehicles)
E00509901337
This indication lamp illumi­nates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off after the engine has started. If it
lights up while the engine is running, it indicates that water has accumula­ted inside the fuel filter; if this happens, re­move the water from the fuel filter. Refer to “ Removal of water from the fuel filter (die­sel-powered vehicles only) ” on page 8-06. When the lamp goes out, you can resume driving. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to have the vehicle inspected.
Warning lamps
E00502400017
Brake warning lamp (brake warning buzzer)
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position, and
goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the
lamp goes off before driving.
E00502501712
With the ignition switch in the “ON” posi­tion, the brake warning lamp illuminates un­der the following conditions:
When the parking brake lever has been
l
engaged. When the brake fluid level in the reser-
l
voir falls to a low level. When the brake force distribution func-
l
tion or the brake system is not operating correctly.
Brake warning buzzer
When there is a danger of brake performance becoming compromised, a buzzer will sound to alert the driver. If this buzzer should con­tinue to sound, park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may
l
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn­ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. It is normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer stops sounding after a few seconds.
CAUTION
In the situations listed below, brake perform-
l
ance may be compromised or the vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied

CAUTION
suddenly; consequently, avoid driving at high speeds or applying the brakes suddenly. Furthermore, the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a safe location and to have it checked.
The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied or does not turn off when the parking brake is released. The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time. For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp” on page 6-38. The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving. The brake warning buzzer does not turn
off.
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
l
the following manner when brake perform­ance has deteriorated.
Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard. Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and pull the parking brake lever. Depress the brake pedal to operate the stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.
NOTE
In certain cases immediately after the engine
l
has been started or when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by operation of brake devices may be heard coming from the engine compartment. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. This type of noise or shock is normal and there is no need for concern. In fact, they indicate that the corresponding devices are operating normal­ly. The brake system uses brake fluid pressur-
l
ized by the pump. Please refer to “Braking” on page 6-35.
Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an on­board diagnostic system which monitors the emis­sions, engine control system or automatic transmission
control systems. If a problem is detected in one of these sys­tems, this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will usually be driva­ble and not need towing, we recommend you to have the system checked as soon as possi­ble.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 4 regula­tion]
E00502603052
This lamp will also illuminate for a few sec­onds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5 and Eu­ro 6] This lamp will also illuminate when the igni­tion switch is turned “ON”, and goes off after the engine has started. If it does not go off af­ter the engine has started, we recommend you to have the system checked.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
l
cause further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability. If the lamp does not illuminate when the ig-
l
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position, we recommend you to have the system checked. If the lamp illuminates while the engine is
l
running, avoid driving at high speeds and we recommend you to have the system checked. Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these conditions.

Centre information display

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 diag-
5
nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
Charge warning display
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started.
CAUTION
If it illuminates while the engine is running,
l
there is a problem in the charging system. In this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
E00502700472
Oil pressure warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates
while the engine is running, the oil pressure is too low. Turn the engine off and have it inspected.
E00502800529
CAUTION
This warning lamp does not indicate the
l
amount of oil level in the engine. This must be determined by checking the oil level on the dipstick, while the engine is switched off. If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
l
level is not low, have it inspected. If you continue driving with low engine oil
l
level or with this warning lamp illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
Door ajar warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when
a door or the backdoor is ei-
ther open or incompletely
closed.
