the fuel consumption data. This may vary depending on the driving conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just a
rough guideline.
l When you refuel, the driving range display
is updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of
fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.
Fill with a full tank whenever possible.
l On rare occasions, the value displayed for
the driving range may change if you areparked on an extremely steep incline. This is
due to the movement of fuel in the tank and
does not indicate a malfunction.

2.Release the clutch pedal. The “” dis-
play/indicator will turn on and the en- gine will stop automatically.Type 1Type 2
NOTEl When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay closel attention to the following.
• The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. If the
vehicle is moving, press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
• The electric power steering system (EPS)
becomes inoperative and it will become
harder to turn the steering wheel.CAUTIONl Observe the following precautions when the
engine is stopped automatically. Otherwise,
an unexpected accident might occur when the engine restarts automatically.
• Do not depress the accelerator pedal to
race the engine while the vehicle is stop-
ped (regardless of whether the engine is running or stopped).
Otherwise, an unexpected accident might
occur when the engine restarts automati- cally.
• When the engine is automatically stopped,
do not attempt to exit the vehicle.
Because the engine restarts automatically when the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
or the driver’s door is opened, an unex- pected accident might occur when the ve-
hicle starts moving.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position,
the “
” display/indicator blinks and the
buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the “N”
(Neutral) position, the display/indicator
stops blinking and the buzzer stops sound- ing. The engine will not restart if the gear-
shift lever is in a position other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
NOTEl In the following cases, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate and the en- gine will not stop automatically even if thevehicle is stopped.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• Driver’s door is open.
• Bonnet is open.
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap-
proximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• After the engine starts, approximately 30
seconds or more have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• Ambient temperature is low.
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficiently
cooled.
• Mode selection dial is set to the demister
position.
Refer to “Demisting of the windscreen
and door windows: For quick demisting”
on page 7-09.
• When the air conditioning is operated in
AUTO mode where the temperature con- trol dial is set to the max. hot or the max.
cool position (for vehicles with automatic
air conditioning).

NOTE•Electric power consumption is high, such
as when the rear window demister or oth-
er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is
low.
• Check engine warning lamp is illuminated
or the “
” display/indicator is blinking.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving because this will cause detec-
tion of clutch pedal malfunction and blink-
ing of Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF dis- play/indicator, and the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate.
l If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioning is operating,
both the engine and the air conditioning
compressor will stop. Therefore, the wind- screen and door windows may mist up be-
cause only the blower will operate.
If the windscreen and door windows mist up,
set the mode selection dial to “
” to restart
the engine.
→ “Mode selection dial” on page 7-03
l If the windscreen and door windows mist up
every time the engine stops, it is recommen-
ded to deactivate the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system by pressing the “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF” switch.
→ “To deactivate” on page 6-22
l If the air conditioning is operating, set the
temperature control dial higher to lengthen
the time that the engine is stopped automati- cally.
Automatically restarting the
engine
E00627601252
Depress the clutch pedal while the gearshift
lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position. The
“
” display/indicator in the meter turns off
and the engine restarts automatically.
Type 2Type 1
NOTEl If the engine does not restart automatically
or if the engine stalls, the oil pressure warn- ing lamp, charge warning lamp, and check
engine warning lamp will illuminate.
If this occurs, the engine will not restart even if the clutch pedal is depressed again. While depressing the brake pedal, fully de-
press the clutch pedal and turn the ignition switch to the “START” position or press the
engine switch to start the engine.
For details, refer to “Starting and stopping the engine” on page 3-17 or “Starting” on
page 6-14.CAUTIONl In the following cases, the engine will restart
automatically even if the engine was stopped
by the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system. Pay attention, otherwise an unexpected accidentmight occur when the engine restarts.
• Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting down a slope.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
• When the preset temperature of the air
conditioning is changed significantly.

NOTElDriving on rough roads can be hard on a ve-
hicle. Before you leave paved roads, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has
been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi- tion of the tyres, and check the tyre pres-
sures.
l MITSUBISHI
MOTORS is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and
negligent operation of a vehicle. All techni- ques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other par-
ticipating parties. Any deviation from the recommended operating instructions above
is at their own risk.
l Note that the stopping distance required of a
4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from
that of a 2-wheel drive vehicle. When driv-
ing on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you.
l The driving posture should be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy
steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-
tion” section and “Maintenance” section.CAUTIONl Setting the drive mode-selector to “4WD
LOCK” to drive on dry paved road will in-
crease fuel consumption, with possible noise generation.
Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in “4WD
LOCK” position at low speed, a slight differ- ence in steering may be experienced similar
to as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight corner braking and results from each of
the 4 tyres being at a different distance from
the corner. The phenomenon is typical of 4- wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either
straighten out the steering wheel, or change to “2WD” or “4WD AUTO” mode.
On snowy or icy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO”
or “4WD LOCK” in accordance with the road conditions, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
NOTEl The use of snow tyres is recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy
roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK”
and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on
the accelerator pedal as constant as possible,
and drive at low speed.
CAUTIONl Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly
on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor-
mal road surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are put under ex- cessive strain when driving on such a sur-
face. This could lead to accidents.
l If the engine coolant temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display or the engine power
drops suddenly while the vehicle is being driven, park your vehicle immediately in asafe place.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page
8-04 for details and take the required meas-
ures.

Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with an A/T or
CVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes or at low speed.
Use the sports mode in mountainous areas in
order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However, be
sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi-
mum speed limit for the selected shift posi- tion.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-
ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For emer-
gencies” prior to taking any corrective ac-
tion.CAUTIONl On vehicles equipped with
A/T, CVT, if the warning display is showing, the tempera-
ture of the A/T fluid, CVT fluid is high.
Read the reference page and take the re-
quired measures.
Read the reference page and take the re-
quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in the A/T” on page 6-30, “When a malfunction
occurs in the CVT” on page 6-37.

NOTElWhile the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heaterwill be cool/cold until the engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
l On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest setting under the AU-
TO operation, the air selection and the air
conditioning will be automatically changed as follows.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air
conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioning will operate.
The settings described above are the factory
settings. The air selection and air condition-
ing switches can be customized (function set-
ting changed), and the automatic switching of outside air and the air conditioning according
to operating conditions can be changed as de- sired.
For further information, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
Refer to “Customizing the air conditioning
switch (Automatic air conditioning)” on page 7-07.

Heater/
Manual air conditioningAutomatic air conditioning
CAUTIONl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTEl On vehicles with the heater and the manual
air conditioning, when the system operateswith the selection switch in the outside posi- tion, the system automatically determines
whether to continue using outside air or to
perform recirculation. If the outside air tem-
perature is high, the system selects recircula- tion and causes the indication lamp (A) in
the switch to illuminate (for vehicles with the manual air conditioning, the system se-
lects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling). Press the selection switch to return to out-
side air introduction.
