Safety mechanismIf a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecu-
tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted. To return
the sunroof to normal operation:
1. Press the switch (3) repeatedly, setting the sunroof in the
tilt up position.
2. Once the tilt up position has been reached, press and hold
the switch (3) for at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (3) again to fully close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (1) to perform full opening,
press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.NOTE
Do not stop the sunroof before it is completely opened or
closed in steps 3 and 4 above. If this should happen repeat
the process from step 1.
5. The sunroof should now operate in the normal manner.
NOTE
When leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
sunroof and remove the ignition key.

Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed
(after snowfall or during extreme cold).

Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or
roof opening edge.

Do not apply any force that may cause damage to the sun-
roof.

Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a com-
pletely open or completely closed position.

If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is
operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if a ski carrier or a
roof carrier is installed. Depending on the model of ski
carrier or roof carrier, the sunroof may contact the carrier
when the sunroof is tilted up.

Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the
vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.

Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber)
around the sunroof opening. If it is waxed, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun-
roof.

After washing the vehicle or after rain be sure to wipe off
any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.

Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned
off will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof only
while the engine is running.
CAUTION
!
The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the
sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.

3 Starting
N00512600590
Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.

If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page
6-2) for instructions.

The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the
coolant temperature gauge indicator starts to move. A
longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system, which automatically controls the release of
fuel. There is usually no need to depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a
time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine. Normal conditionsTo start your vehicle:
Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fas-
tened.
1. Insert the ignition key.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
3. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.
4. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position and make cer-
tain that all warning lights are functioning properly before
starting the engine.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when 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. Carbon 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.

Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts.
Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged.
CAUTION
