2 Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
N00407000221
The seat belt webbing may be cleaned with mild soap or deter-
gent solution. Do not use an organic solvent. Allow the belts to
dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until completely
dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts. The color may
rub off and the webbing strength may be affected.
Regularly check your seat belt buckles and their release mech-
anisms for positive engagement and release of the latch plate.
Check the retractors for automatic locking when in the Auto-
matic Locking Retractor function.
The entire seat belt assembly should be replaced if the webbing
shows any obvious cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-
tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or severe fading from
sunlight. All of these conditions indicate a weakening of the
belt, which may adversely affect seat belt performance in an
accident.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - air
bag
N00407700648
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS), which includes air bags for the driver and passengers.
The SRS front air bags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems
by providing those occupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions.
The SRS driver and front passenger air bags, together with sen-
sors at the front of the vehicle and sensors attached to the front
seats, form an advanced air bag system.
The SRS side air bags and the curtain air bags are also
designed to supplement the seat belts. The SRS side air bags
provide the driver and front passenger with protection against
chest injuries by deploying the bag on the side impacted in
moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain air
bags provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and
second row outboard seat with protection against head injuries
by deploying a bag on the side impacted in moderate to severe
side impact collisions and by deploying both bags when a roll-
over is detected.
The SRS air bags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts.
For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts
must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in
this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate
child restraints in the rear seat, and older children buckled in
the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraints” on page 2-25.
WA R N I N G
!Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the
seat belt assemblies. This work should be done by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Failure to
have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer per-
form the work could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in a serious injury or death in
an accident.

When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact
to deploy the air bag(s), the appropriate air bag(s) will be
deployed.
When the air bag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle,
the curtain air bags will deploy.
When air bags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by
a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally
inhale the smoke as it may cause temporary irritation to people
with respiratory problems.
After deployment, the air bags will quickly deflate, so quickly
that some people may not even realize the air bags inflated.
Air bag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or
being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
Event Data Recording
N00418600054
Your vehicle is equipped with an “EDR” - Event Data
Recorder which is capable of collecting and storing data in the
event of an air bag deployment.
The EDR may record the following information:
Condition of specific vehicle systems;
Whether the driver and front passenger seat belts were
buckled;
Diagnostic code(s)
CAUTION
!Air bags inflate very quickly and with great force. In
certain situations, contact with an inflating air bag
may cause small cuts, abrasions, and bruises.

Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900092
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the air bag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The air bag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front air bag in accordance with the information
it receives from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor,
the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning light” on page 2-44.
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
!If the SRS warning light comes on, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible.Please observe the following instructions to ensure
that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate
correctly.
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, and sit well
back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seat” on page 2-3.
• Do not recline the seatback more than necessary
when driving.
• Do not place metallic objects or luggage under the
front seat.
If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the
sensor inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
!If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as pos-
sible:
• The SRS warning light does not initially come on
when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after sev-
eral seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while you are
driving.

Passenger’s air bag off indicator
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
!If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have the air bag system in your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible:
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator comes on
when an adult is sitting on the front passenger
seat.
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator does not
come on when the front passenger’s seat is not
occupied.
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator does not
come on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
• The passenger’s air bag off indicator comes on and
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.

Deployment of front air bags
N00408000417
The front air bags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when… The front air bags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is
shown in the illustration to the left.
The front air bags are designed to deploy only in certain mod-
erate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area
between the arrows in the illustration to the right.
The front air bags will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s
main structure is above a specific threshold level. The thresh-
old level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal colli-
sion straight into a solid flat wall that does not bend or deform.
If the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this
threshold level, the front air bags may not deploy. This thresh-
old level may also be higher if the vehicle hits something thatabsorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guard rail).
The beginning stage of air bag inflation is the most forceful,
and can cause serious injuries or death if you are too close to
the deploying air bag. Accordingly, it is important that you
always wear the available seat belt.Head-on collision with a solid wall at

Operation of the automatic transaxle
N00514500229
Passing accelerationTo gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when
passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The
automatic transaxle will automatically downshift.NOTEIn sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the
accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.WaitingFor short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle
can be left in gear and held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, the selec-
tor lever should be placed in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.ParkingTo park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully
engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position.
CAUTION
!Before selecting a gear with the engine running and
the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake pedal
to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is
engaged, especially when the engine speed is high, at
fast idle or with the air conditioning operating, the
brakes should only be released when you are ready
to drive away.Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all
times.
Using the left foot could cause driver movement
delay in case of an emergency.To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the
engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot
is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking effi-
ciency and may cause premature wear of brake
pads.
Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed.
This can damage the transaxle.
CAUTION
!To avoid transaxle overheating, never try to keep
your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the acceler-
ator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or
service brake.Unexpected acceleration may occur if the selector
lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL).
Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle,
make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE)
position or “Sports mode” position.

When the automatic transaxle makes no gear changeIf the transaxle does not change gears while driving, or your
vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an
uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happen-
ing in the transaxle, causing a safety device to activate. Have
your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving uphill, shift the
selector lever into 2nd gear of the sports mode.
This method might not work depending on the type of
transaxle malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level road, move the
selector lever back to “D” (DRIVE).NOTEWhen the “N” indicator in the instrument cluster blinks, it
means that there is an abnormal condition in the transaxle.
Refer to “Selector lever position indicator/“N” indicator”
on page 3-42.
Full-time all-wheel drive
(if so equipped)
N00517200025
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement.
But its unique all-wheel drive system allows you to occasion-
ally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and
similar locations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads
but also permits better traction when driving on slippery, wet or
snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or towing in rough
conditions.
It is particularly important to note that full-time all-wheel drive
may not give sufficient hill climbing ability and engine braking
on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes
with full-time all-wheel drive.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud
and when driving through water because sufficient traction
may not be available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires
may get stuck in deep sand or mud.
All-wheel drive operation requires special driving skills.
Carefully read the “All-wheel drive operation” section on page
3-48 and take care to drive safely.

Driving through water
N00537800069
If the electrical circuits become wet, further operation of the
vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid driving through
water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through water is
unavoidable, use the following procedure:
Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting
to drive through it. Drive slowly to avoid creating excessive
water splashing.
Inspection and maintenance following
rough road operation
N00530700072
After operating the vehicle in rough road conditions, be sure to
perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
Check that the vehicle has not been damaged by rocks,
gravel, etc.
Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes
still do not function properly, contact an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible to have the brakes checked.
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clogging the radiator
core.
After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle
and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy
because of water contamination, it must be replaced with
new oil.
Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found,
dry the carpet etc.
Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing,
have it drained at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.
Have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice replace the grease in the wheel
bearings.
CAUTION
!Never drive through water that is deep enough to
cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. Do not
change gears while driving through water.
Frequent driving through water can adversely affect
the life span of the vehicle; consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice and take the necessary measures to prepare,
inspect, and repair the vehicle.After driving through water, apply the brakes to be
sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are
wet and not functioning properly, dry them out by
driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal. Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.
