The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is shown in the illustration to theleft. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shadedarea between the arrows in the illustration to the right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. If the impact to the vehicle’s main structure isbelow this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may not deploy. This
threshold level may also be higher if the vehi-cle hits something that absorbs the impact,either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guard rail). The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful, and can cause serious injury ordeath if you are too close to the deploying air- bag. Accordingly, it is important that you always wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to absorb the impact and deform in order to help protect the occupants. Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare shown in the illustrations. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wear yourseat belts properly.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are not designed to deploy in situations where
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 occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to always wear your seat belts properly.

The side airbag and curtain airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe side impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment.
Also when the vehicle detects rollover of the
vehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy.
Typical situations are shown in the illustra-
tion. The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri-
mary means of protection in an accident. The
SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to provide a
dditional protection.
Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all
occupants, be sure to always wear your seat
belts properly.
In certain types of side collisions, the side air-
bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even
if the deformation of the body seems to be
large, because the vehicle’s body structure is
designed to absorb the impact and to deform
in order to help protect the occupants. There
are also cases where the side airbag and cur-
tain airbag may not deploy at the same time,
depending on the location of the impact.
Some typical situations where the side air-
bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are
shown in the illustrations.
 Work done on or in the vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain airbag components
should be done only by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a risk
of a serious injury or death. Improper
work methods can cause accidental side
airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or
render a side airbag or curtain airbag
inoperable. Either of these situations
could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion. To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may bethat there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. Immediately have your vehiclechecked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00541301091
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance, andvehicle stability over a wide range of driving
conditions through integrated management of the electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC (Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC. The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of driving torque withoperating the electronic control coupling arranged in the rear differential assembly.
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be a malfunction in theCVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans- mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-63.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys- tem, like any other system, has limits andcannot help you to maintain traction and con- trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck- less driving can lead to accidents. It is thedriver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.

N00589800042
Parking sensors will alert the driver with an intermittent or continuous buzzer sound whenthe vehicle approaches an object and the sen- sor detects that object during parking. The system incorporates eight ultrasonic sensors(A) on the front and rear bumpers.Parking sensors (Front/Rear)
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the parking sensors, read this entire section to fully understand the limi-tations of this system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 The parking sensors are parking aid only. It is not a substitute for your visual confir- mation. The system is not designed to detect chil- dren, pedestrians, bicycles and pets. Thearea within which the system can detect is very limited, and ob
jects outside the
detection area, such as under the bumperor around either corner of the bumper, cannot be detected. The sensors of the sys- tem may not be able to detect certainobjects. Never rely solely on the parking sensors to clear the area in front and to the rear of your vehicle. Always check visually in front and to the rear of your vehicle forpersons, animals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so can result in damage toyour vehicle, serious injury or death.CAUTION The parking sensors may not operate prop- erly in a certain situation. Some examples are:• The sensors or surroundings have beenwiped by hand.• The stickers or accessories have beenattached to the sensors or surroundings.• The sensors or surroundings are coveredwith ice, snow, or mud.WA R N I N G
• When the ambient temperature has rapidly changed.• When the sensor is frozen.• When the system detects ultrasonic noise,such as the noise from motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashingwater or tire chains.• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(after the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).• When the vehicle is driven on a rough roadincluding a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassysurface.• When the vehicle is too close to an object.• Immediately after the engine switch isturned on.
 The parking sensors may not properly detect certain objects including;• A thin object such as a wire net or rope.• An object that absorbs ultrasonic sound waves, such as snow.• An object with sharp angles.• An object with a smooth surface, such as glass.• A low height object such as a curb. If the bumper has experienced an impact, the sensor area may have damage and the park- ing sensors may not function properly. Have the vehicle inspected at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.CAUTION

with the automatic transaxle in the “P” (PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.  If the warning display or warning display illuminates, refer to “Warning dis- play” on page 5-63.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t
downshift, prolonged or frequent applicationof the brakes can cause reduced braking effi- ciency and performance. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. How- ever, you may want to shift the selector leverto the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hilly conditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and
that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. Avoid parking on a hill with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. When the chocks or blocks are in place,release your brakes slowly until the chocks or blocks absorb the load. 4. Apply the parking brake firmly.5. Set the selector lever to the “P” (PARK)position and turn off the engine.
When restarting out after parking on a hill: 1. Check that the selector lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position. 2. Start the engine. Be sure to keep the brakepedal depressed. 3. Set the selector lever to the “D” (DRIVE) position or “R” (REVERSE) position.4. Release the parking brake and brake pedal and slowly pull or
back away from the
chocks or blocks. Stop and apply yourbrakes. 5. Have someone retrieve the chocks or blocks.
