6. Fold the split halves forward in the direction of bold
arrows.
Operate the electric convertible top manually
N00505600019
If the top fails to close by means of switch operation, check
whether the requirements for operation are all satisfied. Refer
to “Requirements for operation” on page 3-32. If the require-
ments are all satisfied but the top is failing to close by means of
switch operation, you can close the top by hand.NOTE
The top cannot be opened by hand. If the top fails to open
by means of switch operation, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

For manual closing of the electric convertible top, it is
advisable for two people to work together. In particular,
the task of folding up the top and extending it forward is
much easier for two people than for one. If no assistance
is available, you may find it easiest to position yourself on
the rear seat and lift up the electric convertible top by
grasping it at the center.

When the top has been closed by hand, it can become
inoperable (neither openable nor closable) by means of
switch operation. After closing the top by hand, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!
Do not manually close the top when there is a strong
wind.

NOTE
When you press the SPEECH button to enter voice recog-
nition mode with a cellular phone paired to the system,
current information on the cellular phone, such as
“remaining battery life,” “signal strength” or “roaming,”
will be displayed on the audio display.* (Refer to “Pairing
a cellular phone” on page 3-147.)
*: Some cellular phones will not send this information to
the Bluetooth
® HFP.

Call waiting and three-way calls can be used by the Blue-
tooth
® HFP, only when those services can be used with
your cellular phone.

Users may experience a delay in vehicle audio when plac-
ing or answering a call from the handset. To reduce
delays, users should place calls and receive calls through
the Hands-free System.
Voice recognition function
N00506600090
The Bluetooth
® HFP is equipped with a voice recognition
function. Your voice will be recognized by a microphone in the
front pillar (driver’s side), allowing you to make hands-free
calls with voice commands.
Voice recognition is possible in US English, North American
Spanish and Canadian French. The factory setting is US
English.
Some of the voice commands indicated below have a number
of alternative commands. For a table showing the voice com-
mands in each language and the corresponding alternative
commands, refer to “Commands and Alternatives” on page 3-
161.
NOTE
If the voice command that you say differs from the pre-
defined command or cannot be recognized due to ambient
noise or some other reason, the Bluetooth
® HFP will ask
you for the voice command again up to 3 times.

For best performance and further reduction of ambient
noise, the vehicle windows and the electric convertible
top (ECLIPSE SPYDER only) should be closed while
engaging the voice recognition function.
Selecting the LanguageThere are two ways to change the language. NOTE
The more entries that are registered in the phonebook, the
longer it will take to change the language.

the “N” (Neutral) position (manual transaxle), or the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position (automatic tran-
saxle) and pull the parking brake lever.NOTE
Make sure you park the vehicle in a safe area before
attempting speaker enrollment.

Please turn off your phone while in speaker enrollment to
prevent interruption of the process.

SPEECH button when you are ready to begin. Press and
hold the SPEECH button to cancel at any time.”
6. Press the SPEECH button to start the speaker enrollment
process.
NOTE

mode will be exited.

Phone calls received during the speaker enrollment pro-
cess cannot be answered.
7. The voice guide will prompt for phrase 1. Repeat the cor-
responding phrase listed in table “Enrollment Commands”
on page 3-167.
The system will register your voice and then move on to
the registration of the next command. Continue the pro-
cess until all phrases have been registered.NOTE

reading of an enrollment phase number by the voice
guide, the registration of the same phase number will be
repeated. Continue the process until all phrases have been
registered.

seconds of the reading of an enrollment phase number by

If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the
audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.

If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi
Motors technician.

If you open or close the electric convertible top while lis-
tening to music, an audible beep will sound and the audio
system’s sound equalization will change to settings that
are optimized for operation with the electric convertible
top in its new, open or closed position (ECLIPSE SPY-
DER only).

Wiper blades
N00946700013
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease, dead
insects, etc., from the wiper blades.
Replace the wiper blades when they no longer clean the wind-
shield and rear window properly.Cleaning the sunroof (ECLIPSE only, if so
equipped)
N00946800056
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth. Hard deposits
should be wiped away with a cloth dipped in warm, neutral
detergent solution. Wipe away the solution with a sponge
dipped in fresh water.NOTE
The surface treatment on the inside of the glass may be
removed if a hard cloth or organic solvent is used.Convertible top (ECLIPSE SPYDER only)
N00946900028
Wash the top with water and a soft nylon brush or something
similar. Wash the window sections with a sponge. If dirt or
mud cannot be washed off in this way, use a 0.1 concentration
of household laundry powder in water and a cloth to scrub
lightly, and then wash with plain water again. If laundry pow-
der is used, rinse thoroughly; be sure that none of the soap
remains on the top. If soap does remain on the top, it could
cause cracking and/ or discoloration.
After cleaning, always be sure the top is completely dry before
it is lowered. Lowering the top while wet or damp may cause
interior water damage, water stains or mildew of the top mate-
rial.
NOTE
Always sprinkle water from above.

Do not run this vehicle through any automatic car washes.
These car washes may cause water to enter the vehicle and
cause damage to the convertible top. If you wash the vehi-
cle by hand do not spray water directly at side windows
and top seals which may cause water to enter the vehicle.
Therefore, be sure to observe the following.
• Maintain a good distance of approx. 16 inches (40 cm)
or more between the vehicle body and the washing noz-
zle.
• It is recommended that the water should be sprayed at a
45° angle to the side windows and top seals.

Do not use harsh or abrasive type cleaners or bleaching
agents on the top material or damage may result.Engine compartment
N00947000084
Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the
engine compartment, as this may cause damage.
Do not allow any nearby parts (such as plastic parts) come into
contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte), which may
crack, stain, or discolour them.
If this occurs, wipe the parts with a soft cloth saturated with a
mild detergent and water solution.
Then immediately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.
