Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600575
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used, to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
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.
WA R N I N G
!
Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle, always take the child out as well.
Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped
inside the vehicle, especially on hot days.
Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid closed
when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from
children.
Never allow children to play in the trunk of your
vehicle.
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.

WA R N I N G
!
Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s pad-
ded cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. These
could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag
inflates.
Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove compartment.
Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the
airbag inflates.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of,
the windshield. They could restrict the airbag infla-
tion, or strike and injure an occupant, when the
airbag inflates.
Do not attach additional keys or accessories (hard,
pointed or heavy objects) to the ignition key. Such
objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from
inflating normally or could be propelled to cause
serious injury if the airbag inflates.
Do not attach accessories to the lower portion of the
driver’s side instrument panel. Such objects could
prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating nor-
mally or could be propelled to cause serious injury if
the airbag inflates.

For future performance and economy of your vehicle, we rec-
ommend that you carry out the following precautions.

Avoid revving the engine. Do not exceed 5,000 rpm for
the first 600 miles (1,000 km).

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, prolonged high-
speed driving and rough shifting for the first 300 miles
(500 km).

The high-performance brake pads on your vehicle require
a short break-in period. Avoid hard braking for the first
300 miles (500 km) to prevent future abnormal brake
noise and vibration from your vehicle’s brake pads.

The standard-equipment tires use a high-grip compound.
Thus drive with extra care for the first 200 miles (300
km).

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo loads precautions” on page 4-13).

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

Keep one F.A.S.T.-key and one emergency key in a safe place
together as a set of spare keys.
NOTE
The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig-
nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to
prevent damage.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
• Do not take the remote control transmitter apart.
• Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts.
• Keep the remote control transmitter dry.
• Keep away from magnetic objects such as key rings.
• Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromag-
netic waves, such as cellular phones, wireless devices
and high frequency equipment (including medical
devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.

If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle
immediately contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of
the key number, they can make a new key. The key num-
ber is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key
number plate in a safe place separate from the key itself.

No keys other than those registered in advance can be
used to start the engine.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)” on page 3-4.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key)”: “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft start-
ing system)” on page 3-41.

When the theft-alarm is in the system operational status,
the alarm operates if a door is opened after using the key,
the door lock knob or the power door lock to unlock the
vehicle.

The system does not enter the preparation status if the
keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key operation was
not used to lock the vehicle.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100764
[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)”:
“Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page
3-41.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions) using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.

NOTE
Do not attach additional keys or accessories to the ignition
key. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag
from inflating normally. Refer to “Deployment of front
airbags” on page 2-45.

In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to rec-
ognize the registered ID code from the key. This means
the engine will not start even when the key is turned to the
“START” position.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or
magnetic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of another key (Type
B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizer
keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)

In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away
from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
