WARNING
l Do not modify your steering wheel, seat
belt retractor or any other SRS compo-
nents. For example, replacement of the
steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
l If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we recommend you to have the SRS in-
spected to ensure it is in proper working
order.
l On vehicles with the side airbags, 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 air-
bag, the portion of the front and rear pil-
lars and roof side rail, you should have
the SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE l When

you transfer ownership of the vehicle
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 applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
l If your vehicle has to be scrapped, do this in
line with local legislation and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point to safely dismantle the airbag system. Seat and seat belts

Safe driving techniques
E00600300446
Driving
safety and protection against injury cannot
be fully ensured. However, we recommend that
you pay extra attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and
your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats WARNING
l Keep
floor mats clear of the pedals by cor-
rectly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out of position, securely retain them us-
ing the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to
a serious accident. Carrying children in the vehicle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key

and children inside the vehicle. Children
may play with the driving controls and this
could lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small children are
properly restrained in accordance with the
laws and regulations, and for maximum pro-
tection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the luggage
compartment. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load
above the height of seats. This is dangerous not on-
ly because rearward vision will be obstructed, but
also the luggage may be projected into the passen-
ger compartment under hard braking. Starting and driving

WARNING
l Be sure to position the tyres the correct
way when putting them on the vehicle.
The valves should be on the outer side of
the vehicle. If the valve (I) cannot be seen,
the tyre has been mounted the wrong way
around.
If tyres are mounted the wrong way
around it could have a negative effect on
the vehicle and cause an accident. 7. Turn
the wheel nuts clockwise by hand to in-
itially tighten them.

[Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the ta-
pered part (A) of the nuts lightly touches the wheel hole seats (B) enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.
[Vehicle with the flange nuts]
l Aluminium wheel
Initially

tighten the wheel nuts until the
wheel nut flange area (C) touches the
wheel enough to keep the tyre from wob-
bling. l
Steel wheel
Initially

tighten the wheel nuts until the ta-
pered area (A) of the nuts lightly touches the wheel hole seat area (B) enough to
keep the tyre from wobbling.
l
CAUTION
• Never
apply oil to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE l Flange

nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts. For emergencies
