Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-lated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially blended to reduce vehicleemissions and improve air quality. Mitsubishi Motors Cor
poration strongly sup-
ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop-erly blended reformulated gasoline has noadverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of engine and fuel system. MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasolinesto increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gasolines without MMT.Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have been designed to sat- isfy California’s low-emission regulationsbased on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a highersulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con- verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina- tion of this indicator while you are using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarilymean the vehicle’s emis
sion-control system is
malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest you try using adifferent, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gas- oline to determine whether the problem is fuel-related.
Reformulated gasoline MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl)
Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
 Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as poor starting,
stalling during idling,
abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera- tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER- VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected assoon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.  Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the depos- its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could make the enginemalfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

collisions. The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear outboard seat with protection against head injuries by deploying a bag on the sideimpacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS airbags are NOT
a substitute for use
of the seat belts. For maximum protection inall types of accidents, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle (with infants and smallchildren in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-13.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas- sengers properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate.During sudden braking just before a col- lision, an unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or passengers can moveforward into direct contact with, or within close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate.The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes incontact with the airbag at this time. • Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrollovers, rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions, because the airbags are not designed to inflate inthose situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehicle in a collision or rollover.
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be seriously injured or killed.WA R N I N G
• Airbags inflate very quickly and withgreat force. If the driver and front pas- senger are not properly seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide the proper protection and can cause seri-ous injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always properly wear your seat belt and adjust the driver’s seatas far back as possible, maintaining a position that still allows the driver to have good control of the steering wheel,brake, accelerator, and other vehicle con- trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy- ing passenger’s airbag, make sure thepassenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all the way back in the seat, and positionsthe seat as far back as possible. • Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrained in an appropri- ate child restraint system.
 Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean your head or chest close to the steering wheel or theinstrument panel. Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instrument panel.WA R N I N G

WA R N I N G Infants and small children should never ride unrestrained, or lean against the instrument panel. They should never ride held in your arms or on your lap. Theycan be seriously injured or killed in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate. Infants and children should beproperly seated in the rear seat in an appropriate child restraint system. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-13.
WA R N I N G NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger airbag. During deployment of the airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be usedin the rear seat.
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in th
e child restraint sys-
tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.Airbag

The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as: How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
 Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
N00417900193
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached
to the seat rail and provides the airbag control
unit with information on the seat’s fore-aft
position. The airbag control unit controls
deployment of the driver’s front airbag in
accordance with the information it receives
from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s
seat position sensor, the SRS warning in the
instrument panel will come on. Refer to “SRS
warning light/display” on page 4-26.
N00418001387
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are
attached to the seat rails and provide the air-
bag control unit with information regarding
the weight on the front passenger seat. The
airbag control unit controls deployment of the
passenger’s front airbag in accordance with
the information it receives from this sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
in an impact when the weight on the seat is
sensed to be less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passen-
ger’s airbag off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on
page 4-25.
If there is a problem involving the passen-
ger’s seat weight sensors, the SRS warning in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-26.
NOTE

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driv-
ing conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves-
tigation.
Driver’s seat position sensor
WA R N I N G If the SRS warning comes on, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.Please observe the following instructions
to ensure that the driver’s seat position
sensor can operate correctly.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,
and sit well back against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.

The passenger’s airbag off indicator is
located in the instrument panel. The indicator normally comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
and goes out a few seconds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will
stay on to show that the passenger’s front air-
bag is not operational.
 The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense
a weight of less than approximately 66
pounds (30 kg) on the front passenger
seat.
 The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passen-
ger seat is sensed to be approximately 66
pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator goes
out to show that the passenger’s front airbag
is operational.
