4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in the tank port as far as it goes.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to add
more fuel.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler cap slowly clockwise
until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel
tank filler door closed.
NOTE
If the fuel tank filler cap is not tight while driving, the
engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” or “Check engine light”) may come on when the
onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.
Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until you hear click-
ing sounds.
The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the
indicator does not go off, contact your authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
!
Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter
damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into
these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be
attempted.
CAUTION
!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain,
or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure the fuel cap is securely closed. If the fuel
cap was loose, fuel could leak, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION
!
If you need to replace the fuel tank filler cap, use
only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

seatback lock lever up, then lean backward to a comfortable
position and release the lever. The seatback will lock in place.
Power seatAdjust the seatback angle by operating the switch as indicated
by the arrows.NOTE
To prevent the battery from running down, operate the
power seat with the engine running.
CAUTION
!
The reclining mechanism used in the seatback is
spring loaded, and will cause the seatback to return
quickly to the vertical position when the lock lever is
operated. When pulling the lever, sit close to the
seatback or hold the seatback with your hand to
control its return motion.

N00402500058
Folding the seatbacks forward
N00402900111
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to provide additional
luggage compartment space.
Pull the left and/or right release knobs, and fold the rear seat-
backs forward.NOTE
Confirm that the seatback locks securely when it is
returned.
CAUTION
!
Switch off the seat heaters when not in use. Operate
the heaters at high for quick heating. After the seat
has become warm, set the heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in the seat temperature may
be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and
does not indicate a malfunction.
If the following types of persons use the heated seats,
they might become too hot or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):
• Children, elderly persons, ill persons
• Person with sensitive skin
• Excessively fatigued persons
• Persons under the influence of alcohol or sleep-
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)

Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins,
needles, or other pointed objects into it.
Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other material with
high heat insulation properties on the seat while
using the heater; doing so could cause the heater ele-
ment to overheat.
When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene, gaso-
line, alcohol, or other organic solvents; doing so
could damage not only the surface of the seat, but
also the heater.
If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat,
allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use
the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.

NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat
belts in all other seating positions are equipped with an
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will
switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see
page 2-31). When the ALR function has been activated,
the seat belt will only retract. If this happens, let the belt
fully retract, then pull the seat belt back out, repeating
steps 1 through 4.
5. To release the belt, press the button on the buckle and
allow the belt to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check
for kinks or twists in the webbing. Then make sure it
remains untwisted as it retracts.
Driver’s seat belt reminder/warning light
N00418400238
A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten
the seat belt.
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the warn-
ing light will come on and a tone will sound for about 6 sec-
onds. If the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened
approximately 1 minute later, the warning light will flash and
the tone will sound intermittently (12 times each) when the
vehicle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens the seat
belt while driving, the warning light and tone will issue further
warnings. And if the seat belt remains unfastened, the warning
light and tone will issue further warnings each time the vehicle
starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the
warnings will stop.
WA R N I N G
!
Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn
as low as possible across the hips, not around the
waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase
the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when
worn. Twisted webbing may adversely affect seat
belt performance.

systems
N00417700524
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner system The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In moderate-to-severe frontal
collisions or when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is
detected, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously
with the deployment of the front air bags or curtain air bags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within the seat belt
retractors (A). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw
back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following com-
ponents:
The air bag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON”
or “START” position. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The pre-tensioner seat belts will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000188
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the air bag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The air bag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front air
bag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front air bag will not deploy in an impact
when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approxi-
mately 66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s air bag
off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s air bag off indicator” on page 2-43.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come
on. Refer to “SRS warning light” page 2-44.
WA R N I N G

N00418100235
The passenger’s air bag off indicator is located between the
central vents in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will stay on to show
that the passenger’s front air bag is not operational.

The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passen-
ger seat.

The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator
goes out to show that the passenger’s front air bag is opera-
tional.
WA R N I N G

goes out repeatedly.

Do not attach any accessory to your vehicle that
makes the passenger’s air bag off indicator difficult
or impossible to see.
You must be able to see the passenger’s air bag off
indicator and verify the status of the passenger’s air
bag system.
