However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle by observing the follow
ing precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high- speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel andoil consumption; this could ultimately result in the malfunction of engine com- ponents. Be particularly careful to avoidfull acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears).  Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10. Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle. Refer to “Trailer towing” on page 6-11.

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under- standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts were buckled/fastened; How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Event Data Recording
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves- tigation.

N00401601277
Your vehicle has seat belts and other safety features that help protect you and your pas-sengers in an accident. Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts canreduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe frontal collision, yourvehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety equipment, which mustbe used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat.  That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor vehicle accidents. How-ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in this manual.

The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Refer to “Engine coolant temperature display”on page 5-150.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This system automatically controls fuel injection.There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine. To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened. 2. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal downfirmly with your right foot. 4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. 5. Press the engine switch. 6. Confirm that all warning lights and warn- ing displays are functioning properly.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditioning blower and rearwindow defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold itthere, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up and cause serious injury or death.CAUTION Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 After the engine has not started for a while, the brake pedal effort needed to start theengine may become greater. If this occurs, depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual.NOTE
 The engine can only be started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position. For safety reasons, the engine should be started when the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK) position in which the driving wheels lock.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way downand hold it there, then press the engine switch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, pushthe engine switch to stop cranking the engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait afew seconds, and then press the engineswitch to crank the engine again while depressing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. If the enginefails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice for assistance.
Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

WA R N I N G Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally opened by a passen-ger, especially by a child who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of someone being thrownfrom the vehicle in an accident.
Liftgate
WA R N I N G The luggage compartment was not designed for people to ride in it. Do not letpassengers ride in or
let children play in
the luggage compartment. Riding or play- ing in the luggage compartment couldresult in a serious accident or injury. Before driving, be sure that the liftgate is securely closed. It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open
since carbon monox-
ide (CO) gas contained in engine exhaust gases can enter the passenger compart- ment.CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death. In addition, if the liftgate opens whiledriving, luggage could fall onto the road and cause an accident.
 When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure that there are no people nearby and be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc. If snow or ice has accumulated on the lift- gate, remove it before opening the liftgate. Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly closedue to the weight of the snow or ice. When opening the liftgate, always fully open it. A partially opened liftgate can unexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is pa
rked on a slope, the
effort required to open or close the liftgate may be greater or less than expected.The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading luggage. Heat fromthe exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure that area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.WA R N I N G
NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-key operation (vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift-gate.
