4-2 Driving safety
4Fuel economy
N00628800107
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors. Your personal
driving habits can have a significant effect on your fuel use.
Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel econ-
omy are listed below.
Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
When parked for even a short period, do not idle the
engine. Shut it off.
Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately
50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather con-
ditions safely permit.
Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated
according to the recommendations in this manual.
Always keep your vehicle well maintained. A poorly
maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.
Do not overload your vehicle.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
N00628900052
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation.
Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you
sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doc-
tor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of
any of these medications.
WA R N I N G
!NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are
slower and your judgment is impaired.

5Air purifier
N00733800151
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
remove pollen and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it
becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”.NOTEOperation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of the filter. When you feel that
the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield
or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice for assistance.

player (RBDS and MP3 compatible)
(if so
equipped)N00734300919
The audio system can only be used when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” or “ACC” position.NOTETo listen to the audio system while the engine is not run-
ning, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position.
If the ignition switch is left in the “ACC” position, the
accessory power will automatically turn off after a certain
period of time and you will no longer be able to use the
audio system. The accessory power comes on again if the
ignition switch is turned from the “ACC” position. Refer
to “ACC power auto-cutout function” on page 3-85.
If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.
If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the
audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.
If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi
Motors technician.
