Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring
a long break-in period
of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the followi
ng precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high- speed driving and sudden braking. These would have a detrimen
tal effect on the
engine and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, wh
ich could result in
malfunction of the engine components. Beparticularly careful to
avoid full accelera-
tion while in low shift position (low gears). Do not overload the ve
hicle. Stay within
the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Do not use this vehi
cle for trailer towing.

N00628800178
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.
