NOTEWhen leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
sunroof and if a key was used to start the engine, remove
the key from the ignition switch.
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
sunroof.
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.
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
sunroof.
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.

Starting and stopping the engine
N00542100073
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 bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Driving before the bar graph moves may cause
deterioration of turbocharger performance and driveabil-
ity. A longer warm up period will only consume extra
fuel.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
CAUTION
!Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.

NOTETo avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered
by your warranty.
Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair product on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:
A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.
Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.
The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead.
Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.
Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.
Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.
Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTETire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light/display to come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the
warning light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation
pressure.
WA R N I N G
!If the warning light/display illuminates while you
are driving, avoid hard braking, sharp steering
maneuvers and high speeds. Driving with an under-
inflated tire adversely affects vehicle performance
and can result in an accident.
CAUTION
!If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with the
spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire could lead to
an accident.The warning light/display may not illuminate imme-
diately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid leak.
