Fuel economy is depe
ndent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your
fuel consumption.
Several recommendations
for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
 When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off. Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures.  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.  Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impairedeven with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak- ing a cold shower will not make you sober. Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception andreaction time. Consu
lt with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the influence of any of these medications.
N00628600046
The original equipment floor mat providedwith your vehicle was specifically designed for your vehicle. Al
ways properly position
the floor mat and assure it does not interferewith operation of the pedals. Always use the
retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. When used, this clip willhelp prevent the floor mat from moving for- ward and possibly interfering with the opera- tion of the pedals. To prevent the floor matfrom moving forward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishi genuine floor mats are recommended.
N00628700047
1. Place the floor mat to fit the shape of thefloorboard. 2. Align the floor mat with the installation holes over the retaining clips.3. Secure the floor mat with retaining clips.

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 arelocked.
 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.

For ordinary defrosting Use this setting to ke
ep the windshield and
door windows clear of mist, and to keep the leg area heated (when driving in rain or snow). 1. Set the MODE switch to the “ ” posi- tion. 2. Set the air selection switch to the outside air position.3. Select your desired blower speed by pressing the blower speed selection switch.4. Select your desired temperature by press- ing the temperature control switch. 5. Push the air conditioning switch.
For quick defrosting 1. Push the defogger switch to change to the “ ” position. 2. Set your blower to the maximum speed. 3. Set the temperature to the highest posi-tion.
N00733700336
1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires more time to
cool. If it is neces-
sary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minut
es of air condition-
ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.
NOTE
 While the mode selection is set “ ” posi- tion, the air conditioni
ng compressor will run
automatically. The out
side air position will
also be selected automatically.  If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recirculati
on position. This pre-
vents the windows from fogging up.  To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the side vents toward the door windows.  When defrosting, do not set the temperature to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the window glass and fog it up.

Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice. The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the
air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning in the best operating condition.
N00733800180
The air conditioning system is equipped withan air filter to re
move pollen
and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the maintenance interval,refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.
N00734302131
The audio system can only be used when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in
ON or ACC.
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant ZXL 200PG. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozonelayer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.
During a long period of disuse

(if so equipped)
NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning ca
n lead to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows st
art to fog up easily,
replace the air filter. Contact your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your
choice for assistance.
