they cannot provide protection to the occu- pants.Some typical situations are shown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the oc
cupants in all types
of collisions, be sure
to always wear your seat
belts properly.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy if the underside of the vehiclesuffers a moderate to
severe impact (under-
carriage impact). Some
typical situations are
shown in the illustration. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts, as show
n in the illustrations,
and these unexpected
impacts can move you
out of position, it is
important to always wear
your seat belts properly.
When worn properly,
seat belts can help maintain your distance from the airbags when they begin to inflate. The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful and can
cause serious injury or
death if you are close to the deploying airbag.

panel above the glove
compartment. Such items could strike and injure an occupant if
the airbag inflates.

SRS servicing
WA R N I N G Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS should be per-formed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do any service, in
spection, maintenance
or repair on any SRS components or wir- ing. Similarly, no part of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or disposed byanyone except an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. Improper work methods on the SRS com-ponents or wiring could result in an acci- dental airbag deploym
ent or could make
the SRS inoperable. Ei
ther of these situa-
tions could result in serious injury or death. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS component
or related vehicle
part. For example, replacement of thesteering wheel, or modifications to the front bumper or body structure can adversely affect SR
S performance and
may lead to injury. If your vehicle has re
ceived any damage,
you should have the
SRS inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to make sure it is in proper working order.
 Do not modify your front seats, center pil- lar or center console. Such modificationscan adversely affect
SRS performance and
may lead to injury. Also, if you discove
r any tear or open
seam in the seat fabr
ic near the side air-
bag, have the seat in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, you should
have the SRS inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
 When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person, we
urge you to alert the
new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS
and refer that owner to
the applicable sec-
tions in this owner’s manual.  If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge you to first take it to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer so that the SRS canbe made safe for disposal.  If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use by
a handicapped person,
the advanced airbag sy
stem will be greatly
affected. Please consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. •Driver’s seat • Front passenger seat • Front seat beltWA R N I N G

For the best fuel ec
onomy and performance in
using your manual transaxl
e, upshift as listed
below. At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruise conditions (relativel
y steady speeds) will
improve your fuel economy. At high altitude locati
ons, upshift as listed
below.
N00513000096
It is recommended that you downshift to a lower gear when needed to maintain the desired speed, according to the table. Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. Theengine may suffer damage. To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend-ing a steep hill. Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug- ging” the engine at t
oo low a speed, such as
when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100244
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result
in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.  The table above shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these speeds forprolonged periods of time.

N00562701131
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the brake pedal.
2. On vehicles with ma
nual transaxle, place
the gearshift lever into the 1st position.On vehicles with CVT, place the selector lever into the “D” (DRIVE) position. 3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start assist will maintain the braking force applied while stopped
for approximately 2
seconds. 4. Depress the accelera
tor pedal and the hill
start assist will gr
adually decrease the
braking force as the vehicle starts moving.
CAUTION Do not overly rely on th
e hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstances, even when hillstart assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf- ficiently depressed, if
the vehicle is heavily
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.  The hill start assist
is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in
place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill start assist to ma
intain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident. Do not perform the
following operation
while the hill start assist is operating.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ] Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or“ACC” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] Put the operation mode
in OFF or ACC. The
hill start assist coul
d stop operating, which
could result in an accident.
To operate
NOTE
 When reversing on an uphill slope, place the gearshift lever or selector lever into the “R”position.NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of the following conditions are met. • The engine is running. (The hill start assist
will not be activated
while the engine is st
arting or immediately
after the engine is started.)
• On vehicles with manual transaxle, thegearshift lever is in the following position.[When starting an uphi
ll slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other than “R” (Reverse). (The hill start assist will operate, even if thegearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) posi- tion.) [When starting an uphill
slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position. (The hill start assist
will not operate when
the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position.) • On vehicles with CVT,
the selector lever is
in any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). • The vehicle is comple
tely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released.  The hill start assist wi
ll not operate if the
accelerator pedal is
depressed before the
brake pedal is released.  The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.  When the hill start a
ssist is ac
tivated, you
may feel the operating sound or vibrationfrom under the body. This is a normal result of the hill start assist operation, and does not indicate a problem.NOTE

N00567301116
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00517900338
The anti-lock braking
system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivability andsteering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully. Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.

engine.Restart the engine and check whether the indicator goes out, in wh
ich case the hill start
assist is again working normally. If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessa
ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but th
e vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make
sure to always keep a
sufficient distance be
tween your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying toomuch on the brake assist system.NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.  When the anti-lock brake system warning light is illuminated, th
e brake assist system is
not functioning.
