1-4 General information
1

Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can
cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine,
resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these
problems occur, you are advised to add a detergent addi-
tive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The addi-
tive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine
to a normal condition. Be sure to use a genuine Mitsubishi
detergent additive. Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact
the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
N00301100740
WA R N I N G
!
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed when
handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always
turn the engine off and keep away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel
in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of
your body’s static electricity by touching a metal
part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel
vapor could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-
way through the refueling process, you could pick
up a fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get
into the cabin.

Short stroke mechanism
N00553500022
The short stroke mechanism makes the doors easier to open
and close by raising and lowering the door window glass as the
doors are opened and closed.
When you pull a door handle to open a door whose window is
closed, the window will open slightly. While the door is open,
the window will remain in the slightly open position. When
you close the door, the window will return to its original posi-
tion.
In the unlikely event that the window remains in the open posi-
tion when you close the door, open and close the door again. If
the window still does not close, pull up the power window
switch to fully close the window with the door closed. After
releasing the switch, pull it up again for approximately 1 sec-
ond. The window glass should then return to its original posi-
tion. If it does not, have the vehicle inspected by a Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

are taken:
1. All doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid are unlocked by
the remote control transmitter.
2. The ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
3. If the UNLOCK button is pressed when all doors and the
rear hatch or trunk lid are closed and no door is opened
within approximately 30 seconds, re-arming will automat-
ically occur.NOTE
Once the system has been disarmed, it cannot be rearmed
except by repeating the arming procedure.

3Power windows
N00510800338
In an ECLIPSE SPYDER, operating a power window switch
causes the door window and quarter window to move together.
However, within about 4 inches from the fully closed position,
only the door window moves without accompanying the quar-
ter window.
NOTE
Depending on the position of the door window, the door
window may briefly stop then continue moving before
reaching the fully closed position.

Never try to operate the main switch and sub switch in dif-
ferent directions at the same time. This will freeze the
window in position.

Operating the power windows repeatedly with the engine
stopped will run down the battery. Use the window
switches only while the engine is running. NOTE
If a power window stops moving during operation due to a
drop in the battery voltage, it may not automatically return
to normal operability when the battery has been charged.
In this event, take the following corrective action:
With the door closed, pull up the power window switch to
fully close the window. After releasing the switch, pull it
up again for approximately 1 second. Normal opening and
closing of the window will then be possible.
1- Open (down)
2- Close (up)
WA R N I N G
!
Before operating the power windows, make sure
that nothing can be trapped (head, hands, fingers,
etc.) in the window.
Never leave the vehicle without removing the key.
Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.
