For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that
all the doors and the
liftgate are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible prob- lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as fa
r back as possible.
 Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selectin
g the defroster mode,
and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-6, 7-10,7-17. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increase
d stopping distances
resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle even if it is aMitsubishi genu
ine floor mat.
Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the fl
oor mat while clean-
ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always
check the condition
of the floor mat afte
r it has been rein-
stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with theengine off, check that
the floor mat is not
interfering with the pedals by depressing the pedals fully.

Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out.On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, there
is a risk of damage
to the tire inflation pressure sensors when thetire is replaced on the
rim. Tire replacement
should, only be perform
ed by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, if
you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, your blind spots, and use your turn-signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
 Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.
N00629400474
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.  Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that the man- ual transaxle oil or the automatic transaxle fluid has time to spread to all the lubrica-tion points.  Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normaland shifting will get easier as the transaxle warms up.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine overheating, add Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super LongLife Coolant Premium or equivalent.

Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working wi
th your battery, or
let a skilled mechanic do it.

 In the following circumstances, moisture can form on compact discs and inside theaudio system, preventing normal opera- tion. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining). • When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after the heater is turned onin cold weather. In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry out.
 When the CD player is subjected to vio- lent vibrations, such as during off-roaddriving, the tracking may not work.  When storing compact discs, always store them in their separate
cases. Never place
compact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is high. Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a label. This will damage the disc surface and
could affect the sound
quality. When handli
ng a compact disc,
always hold it by the outer edge and thecenter hole.  To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole
toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint thinner, a disc spraycleaner, or an anti-static agent on the disc.  Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pen- cil, etc. to write on the label surface of thedisc.  Do not put additional labels or stickers on compact discs. Also, do not use any com-pact disc on which a
label or sticker has
started to peel off or any compact disc that has stickiness or othe
r contamination left
by a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD player may stop working properly and you may not beable to eject the compact disc.
N00751900066
 You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD record- ers (CD-R/RW drives), either due to theirrecording characterist
ics or dirt, finger-
prints, scratches, etc.
on the disc surface.
 CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordi- nary music CDs and can therefore be damaged and rendered unplayable if left inside your vehicle for a long time.  Depending on the combination of the writing software, the CD recorder (CD- R/RW drive), and the disc used to create a CD-R/RW, the disc might not play suc-cessfully.  This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the sessi
on is not closed.
 This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain data other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.). Be sure to observe the handling instruc- tions for the CD-R/RW disc.

N00836300233
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the haza
rd lights flashing until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.
N00836401837
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or de
ad, you can start it with
the battery from anothe
r vehicle using jumper
cables. 1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi- cle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N”(Neutral). 4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”OFF. 5. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-10.)

Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be emitted from the battery,carefully read this section before jump- starting the vehicle. Do not try to start you
r vehicle by pushing
or towing. This can cause an accident resulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehicle.NOTE
 Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle.
It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,both systems can be damaged.NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.WA R N I N G If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMPSTARTING!! The battery might spli
t open or explode if
the temperature is below the freezingpoint or if it is not filled to the proper level.

If you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, the engine may misfire. This can cause the an
ti-lock braking system
warning light to blink on and off. This is onlydue to the low battery voltage. It is not a problem with the brak
e system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.
N00836500365
If the high coolant temperature warning lightilluminates during the engine is running, the engine may be overheating. If this happens: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.2. With the engine st
ill running, carefully
raise the engine hood to vent the engine compartment.
3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not turning, stop the engineimmediately and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice for assistance. 4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine. 5. If you do not see stea
m or spray coming
from under the hood, leave the engine onuntil the high coolant temperature warn- ing light goes off. After the high coolant temperature warning light has gone off,you can start driving again. If the high coolant temperature warning light stays on, turn off the engine.
6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obviousleaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Any leak source must be repaired.7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in the engine coolant reserve tank. If there is none, or if it is toolow, slowly add coolant. 8. If the engine coolant reserve tank needs coolant, you will probably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the enginehas cooled down. 9. Start the engine, and slowly add coolant, up to the bottom of the filler neck. Use plain water if you have to (and replace itwith the right coolant as soon as possible).
 Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working near the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of chil- dren.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G To avoid personal injury
, keep hands, hair,
jewelry and clothes aw
ay from the cooling
fan. The cooling fan ca
n start at any time.
WA R N I N GBefore raising the engine hood, check to see if there is steam or spray coming fromunder the hood. Steam or spray comingfrom an overheated en
gine could seriously
scald you. Do not open the hood until there is nosteam or spray.
WA R N I N G Removing the radiat
or cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam. When checking the radiator level, coverthe cap with a cloth before trying to remove it. Turn it slowly counterclock- wise, without pressing down, to the firstnotch. The pressure in the system will then be let out. When the pressure is COM- PLETELY LET OUT, press down andkeep turning the cap counterclockwise until it comes off.

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off. 6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur- face (F), hub bolts (G)
or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then mount the spare tire.
7. Install the wheel nuts with their tapered ends facing inward, then tighten by handuntil the wheel is no longer loose.
WA R N I N G Stop jacking up the ve
hicle as soon as the
tire is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the ve
hicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack. Do not bump the raised
vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack except the one that came with your vehicle. The jack should not be used for any pur- pose other than to change a tire. No one should be
in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run
the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack. Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires that are still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.
CAUTION Handle the wheel care
fully when changing
the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.WA R N I N G Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem (I) facing outward. If
you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you
have installed the
wheel backwards.Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel installed backwards can cause vehicle damage and result
in an ac
cident.
CAUTIONNever apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too much.
