NOTE
While listening to a disc on which CD-DA (CD-Digital
Audio) and MP3 files have both been recorded, you can
switch between reading of the CD-DA and reading of the
MP3 files, and the external audio input mode by pressing
the CD button for 2 seconds or longer (until you hear a
beep).

With a disc that contains both CD-DA and MP3 files, the
CD-DA files are automatically played first.

The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding software and the bit rate. For details, refer to the
user manual of your encoding software.

Depending on file/folder configurations on a disc, it may
take some time before playback starts.

MP3 encode software and writing software are not sup-
plied to this unit.

You may encounter trouble in playing an MP3 recorded
with certain writing software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW
drivers).

If you record too many folders or files other than MP3
onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.

This unit does not record MP3 files.

For information concerning CD-Rs/RWs, refer to “Notes
on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-70.Folder selection order/MP3 file playback order (Example)

CAUTION
!
Attempting to play a file not in the MP3 format
which has the “.mp3” file name may produce noise
from the speakers and speaker damage, and can
damage your hearing.

NOTE
The connected audio equipment cannot be operated with
the vehicle’s audio system.

Depending on the connected audio equipment, it may pro-
duce noise from the speakers.

Use the connected audio equipment’s own power source,
such as its battery.
Noise may be produced from the speakers if the connected
audio equipment is used while charging it using the acces-
sory socket of the vehicle.

Do not activate the external audio input mode when no
audio equipment is connected.
Otherwise, noise may be produced from the speakers.

Connect audio equipment when the external audio input
mode is deactivated or lower the vehicle’s speaker volume
before connecting it.
Noise may be produced from the speakers if audio equip-
ment is connected after the external audio input mode is
activated.

Compared to the CD player mode and radio mode, the
vehicle’s speaker volume will be lower in the external
audio input mode. Therefore, be careful when switching
from the external audio input mode to the CD player mode
or radio mode since the speaker volume will be higher.

Do not use excessive force on the connection cord. Other-
wise, the cord and connectors may be damaged.

If the connection cord alone is left connected to the auxil-
iary audio connector, noise may be produced from the
speakers.

For information on how to connect and operate the com-
mercially available audio equipment, refer to the owner’s
manual for the commercially available audio equipment.
CAUTION
!
Do not operate the connected audio equipment while
driving.
This could distract you and an accident might occur.

6 Operation under adverse driving conditions
N00837200688
If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or
snow If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can
often be moved by a rocking motion. Move the selector lever
rhythmically between “Sports mode” and “R” (REVERSE)
position, while pressing lightly on the accelerator pedal.
Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels. Constant efforts to
free a stuck vehicle can cause overheating and transaxle fail-
ure. Let the engine idle for a few minutes to cool the transaxle
before trying again.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rocking attempts, call
for a commercial tow truck service.
On wet roads
WA R N I N G
!
When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck posi-
tion, make sure that there are no people nearby. The
rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly
lurch forward or backward, and injure any
bystanders.
CAUTION
!
Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it
looks, and you could be seriously hurt by driving
into flood water.
When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or
through a car wash, water could get into the brake
discs and make them fail temporarily. In such cases,
lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are work-
ing properly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly
several times while driving to dry the brake pads,
then check them again.
When driving in rain, a layer of water may form
between the tires and the road surface (aquaplan-
ing). This loosens your tires’ grip on the road, mak-
ing it difficult to steer or brake properly. When
driving on a wet road:
• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.
• Do not drive on worn tires.
• Always keep the tires at the correct inflation pres-
sures.

hours.

Maximum inflation pressure: the maximum permissible
cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.

Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure
for optimum tire performance.
Intended outboard sidewall:
• The sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white let-
tering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model name
molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding
on the other sidewall of the tire,
or
• The outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that
has a particular side that must always face outward
when mounted on a vehicle.

Passenger car tire: a tire intended for use on passenger
cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and trucks, that
have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000
pounds or less.

Light truck (LT) tire: a tire designated by its manufacturer
as primarily intended for use on lightweight trucks or mul-
tipurpose passenger vehicles.

Tread: portion of a tire that comes into contact with the
road.

Tread rib: a tread section running circumferentially
around a tire.

Tread separation: pulling away of the tread from the tire
carcass.

Carcass: the tire structure, except tread and sidewall rub-
ber which, when inflated, bears the load.

Sidewall: portion of a tire between the tread and bead.

Section width: the linear distance between the exteriors of
the sidewalls of an inflated tire, excluding elevations due
to labeling, decoration, or protective bands.

WA R N I N G
!
Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or
improperly inflated is dangerous.
These type tire conditions will adversely affect vehi-
cle performance.
These type tire conditions can also cause a tread sep-
aration or blowout which may result in an accident
causing serious injury or death.
Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with
age even when they are not being used. It is recom-
mended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced
even if damage is not obvious.

General maintenance
N00941500159
The next pages list the maintenance service recommended by
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. In addition to the general
maintenance that needs to be performed at the times listed,
there are other parts which do not usually need regular mainte-
nance.
But, if any of these parts stops working properly, your vehicle
performance could suffer. Have these items checked if you
notice a problem with them.
See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for assistance, if
you have any questions.Disc brake pads
N00941600020
Good brakes are essential to safe driving. Check the brake pads
for wear. For good braking performance, replace the brake pads
with the same type pads as the originals.Brake hoses
N00941700047
Brake hoses and tubing should be checked for:

Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the
fabric casing of the hose is showing through any cracks or
worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be
replaced. The brakes can fail if the hose wears through.

Improper installation may cause twisting, or wheel, tire or
chassis interference.
CAUTION
!
Replacement of this emission control component
with a non-DOR radiator is a violation of air pollu-
tion regulation.
