CAUTIONlDo not place heavy luggage on the panoram-
ic glass roof. Doing so could damage the glass roof.
l Do not hang heavy luggage from, allow a
person to hang onto, or apply any other strong force to the opening of the sunshade receptacle or the parts between the ceiling
and the sunshade opening on either side. Do- ing so could damage the sunshade.NOTEl Release the switch as soon as the sunshade
reaches the fully open or fully closed posi-
tion.
l If the sunshade does not operate when the
sunshade switch is operated, release the
switch and check whether something is trap- ped by the sunshade. If nothing is trapped,
we recommend you to have the sunshade checked.
l Operating the sunshade repeatedly with the
engine stationary will run down the battery.
Operate the sunshade while the engine is running.
l Close the sunshade when parking the vehicle
for a long time. Parking in the hot sun with
the sunshade open will make the vehicle in-
side extremely hot.The sunshade can only be operated with the
ignition switch or the operation mode in ON.

Safety mechanism
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing
sunshade, it will reopen automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody brings
their head or hand near the sunshade when opening or closing.
The opened sunshade will become operation-
al after a few seconds.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunshade is fully closed. This allows
the sunshade to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunshade.NOTEl The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstancescause the sunshade to be subjected to a phys-
ical shock similar to that caused by a trapped
hand or head.

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-erly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag ARE NOT DE- SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag 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 and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercar- riage 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 and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected 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 in- strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag 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.WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occu- pant if the airbag inflates.

Curtain airbag system*
E00409100559
The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve- hicle that is impacted, even with no passen- ger in the front seat or rear seat.
Deployment of side airbags and
curtain airbags
E00407701415
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustra-
tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in a collision. The SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are de-
signed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY
when…
With certain types of side collisions, the ve- hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Also, depending on the location
of the impact, the side airbags and curtain air-
bags may not deploy simultaneously.

Examples of some typical conditions areshown 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 narrow object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always properlywear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are notdesigned to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc- cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain air-bags do not protect the occupant in all
types of collisions, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.
WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in certain side im-
pacts. Seat belts should always be worn properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying side airbags and curtain airbags.

WARNINGlDo not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from the
deploying side airbags. Special care
should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air- bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
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 in-
flating 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.
l Never install a rearward facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be used
in the rear seat whenever possible. If a forward facing child restraint must be used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the child
restraint and away from the door.WARNINGl Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be leaned
against or be close to the area where the
side airbags and curtain airbags are loca- ted. It is dangerous if the side airbags andcurtain airbags inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system to
be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

WARNINGlOn 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
airbag, the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, you should havethe SRS inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.NOTEl 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 Serv-
ice Point to safely dismantle the airbag sys-
tem.

Economical drivingE00600101076
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts,
as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode
(4WD vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to
“2WD” when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible fuel
economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con- sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a
slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al-
so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.

E00609901383
Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONlDo not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab- in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.CAUTIONl Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un- stable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof. For installation, refer to the instruction manual accompanying the roof carrier.
l When attaching/removing the roof carrier
and loading/removing luggage, do not apply excessive pressure on a single point.
Depending on how and where the force is applied, this may cause dents on the vehicle
roof.NOTEl We recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brack-
ets to be used have a special shape.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.Roof carrier mounting brack-
ets*
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A).
The brackets (A) are located under each cov-
er (B).
Attaching the roof carrier
Slide each cover (B) towards the front of the
vehicle to remove it.

Page 240 of 452
Refitting the covers
1.With each cover, put the tabs (C) on the
cover in the holes (D) in the roof.
2. Slide the cover (B) towards the rear of
the vehicle to install it.
Roof carrier precaution
CAUTIONl Make sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maximum
roof load” on page 11-08.CAUTIONl When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-
hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma- noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that the load remains secure.NOTEl To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the tailgate when installing a roof carrier.Trailer towing
E00610001788
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device mounted that
meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications.
(Refer to page 11-08.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
