There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light on the instrument panel. The system checks itself every time the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON. The SRSwarning light will come on for several sec- onds and then go out. This is normal and means the system is working properly.If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning light will come on and stay on. At the same time, thewarning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display. The SRS warning light/display is shared bythe SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.

The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillar, the rear pillar and the side sections ofthe roof. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted,even with no passenger in the seat. Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbagswill deploy.Curtain airbag system
WA R N I N G The side airbags and curtain airbags can cause serious injury or death to anyone too close to the airbag when it deploys. To reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag or curtain airbag, driver andfront passenger must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the middle of the seat. Do not leanagainst the door. In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airbag, do not allow anyrear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special care should be taken with children. Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Suchobjects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment, and cause injury during deployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbag deployment.
 Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where the curtain airbag (B) deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When thecurtain airbag inflates, the microphone or other object may be hurled with great force or the curtain airbag may not inflatecorrectly, resulting in death or serious injury. Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur- tain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great forceand could prevent the curtain airbag from inflating 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.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers amoderate to severe side impact to the middle of the passenger compartment. Also when the vehicle detects rollover of thevehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy. Typical situations are
shown in the illustra-
tion.
 Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have side airbags. Covers can inter- fere with proper side airbag deployment and adversely affect side airbag perfor- mance. Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child restraint systemmust be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible, and make sure that the child stays in the childrestraint system, properly restrained and away from the door. Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system.The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if the side airbag or curtain airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of these instructionscould lead to serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G
 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. Improperwork methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or curtain airbaginoperable. Either of these situations could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However,avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designed primarily for use onpavement, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wh
eel drive vehicles are
less capable than 4-wheel drive vehicles for driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads. Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track, which enables them to perform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear-ance, these vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave-ment. They are not designed to maneuver or corner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel drive passenger cars anymore than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in amanner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-nificantly more likely to die than a personwearing a seat belt. Before starting the vehi- cle, always make certain that you and all your passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).

Fuel economy is dependent on many factors.Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your fuel consumption.Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate slowly and smoothly. When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off.  Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures.  When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on highways or dry improved roads, set thedrive mode to “AUTO”.  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air cleaner filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according to the recom-mendations in this manual.  Always keep your vehicle well main- tained. A poorly maintained enginewastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impairedeven with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak- ing a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doctor or

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked.  Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping good visibility, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Checkthe instrument panel indicators and multi- information display for any possible prob- lem. Similarly, the front passenger seat should also be moved as far back as possible.  Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You shouldbe able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (wind-shield, door windows)” on page 7-13, 7-22. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out.As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you needto find out why immediately and have itfixed.
N00629201147
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the followingareas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
