lImproper installation of electrical com-
ponents may cause an electrical fire if
incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/alteration to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this own- er’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper- ation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
l When fitting accessories, ensure that
maximum gross vehicle weight and
maximum axle weight are not exceeded.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re- placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach-
ment or installation of such parts affects the overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi- cial. Only in the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS
genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attach-
ed or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume, that optimal safety has been provided. Thesame also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicle with respect to the
production specifications. For your own safe-
ty, in such cases, you should only undertake
modifications according to the recommenda- tions of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.Modification/alterations to

Seat beltsE00404800825
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts are worn correctly while driv-ing.
A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an
airbag has a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a conventional seatbelt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-13 .WARNINGl Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger-
ous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat- back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im- pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall enough to
wear seat belts properly.WARNINGl Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in
an accident, including the deploying driv-
er’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still allows good visibility andgood control of the steering wheel, the
brake and accelerator, and vehicle con- trols.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901126
This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.

CAUTIONlNever shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on aM/T , and should only be used when the vehi-
cle is stationary for an extended length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or
you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss
of control.
“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission automatically selects a suitable
gear ratio for your speed and acceleration.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position
from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the
vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.Sports mode
E00603901323
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A). To return to “D” range operation, gently push the selec-tor lever back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-
idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward. In contrast to a man- ual transmission, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.SHIFT UPSHIFT DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
CAUTIONl In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.

The fluid level falls slightly with wear of thebrake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a
short length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will ad- versely affect the brake system, reducing the
brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equip- ped with a special cap to prevent the entrance
of air, and this cap should not be removed.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.CAUTIONl Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Clutch fluid*
E01001001435
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder should
be checked when performing other under- hood service. In addition, the system shouldbe checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the
clutch system which should be inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist and repaired im- mediately.
Fluid type
Brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used.
The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or
moisture.
DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM-BASED FLUID TO CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR
OTHERWISE CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID. SEAL DAMAGE WILLRESULT.
