WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked doormay be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, thereis a greater risk of
someone being thrown
from the vehicle
in an accident.
Trunk lid
WA R N I N GIt is dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open since carbon mo
noxide (CO) gas can
enter the cabin. CO is an invisible, odor- less gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death. Do not allow children to have access to the trunk by climbing into the trunk fromoutside of the vehicl
e. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. If trapped in the trunk, it is possible toescape from the trunk by using the inside emergency trunk re
lease lever. (See
“Inside emergency trunk lid release” onpage 5-28.)CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.

WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There- fore be especially careful that fingers are nottrapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately tr
ap your hands or head
in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar
to that caused by
trapped hand or head.  If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times in a row, the safety mechanismwill be cancelled a
nd the door window will
not close correctly. In such a case, the following procedureshould be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise thedriver’s door window sw
itch until that win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for atleast1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate in the normal fashion.CAUTION

It is not seen during normal driving.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the indicator will blink.In this case, immediat
ely park your vehicle
in a safe place and fo
llow these procedures:
[If the indicator blinks
rapidly (once per sec-
ond), the CVT fluid is overheating.]Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not turn off the engine. M
ove the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position and open theengine hood. Keep th
e engine, idling.
After a while, move the selector lever into any position other than “P” (PARK) positionand confirm that the i
ndicator stops blinking.
It is safe to continue driving if the indicator no longer blinks.If the indicator conti
nues blinking or blinks
intermittently, have your
vehicle inspected at
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer orrepair facility
of your choice.
[If the indicator blinks slowly (once per 2 seconds), the CVT may
be operating in fail-
safe mode due to a malfunction.] Have the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the engine
running and the vehicl
e stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especi
ally when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning (cooling or
heating) operating.
Do not release the brak
e pedal until you are
ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move-ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from the

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing an
other vehicle) push
the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the servicebrake. For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place th
e selector lever in the “N”
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position. To park the vehicle, fi
rst bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may bethat there is something unusual happening in the transmission. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as pos- sible.

Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on
your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operating sound or vibration may be emitted from under the body in the followingsituations. The sound or vibration is associ- ated with checking th
e operations of the
ASC. At this time,
you may feel a shock
from under the body and the brake pedal if you depress it. These do
not indicate a mal-
function. • When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put
in ON. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment. This indicates that th
e system is operating

Tire pressure monitoring
system (if so equipped)
5-60 Features and controls
5
Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated tothe inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufac
turer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressu
re label. (If your vehi-
cle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label, yo
u should determine the
proper tire inflation pr
essure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significant
ly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to mainta
in correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inf
lation has not
reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combinedwith the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min-ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunctionexists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure thatthe replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.
N00532801540
1. If the tire pressure monitoring systemwarning light illum
inates, avoid hard
braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure assoon as possible. Adjust the spare tire at the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-12.
If the warning light illuminates while driving

NOTE
 When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to
avoid breakage.
 After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, di
rt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor.  Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction,
resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sen-
sors.  Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes ofdriving.
