Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it. P. 8-13
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that
no one is near the vehicl
e. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid revving the engine or spin
ning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a st
uck vehicle may result in
overheating and transa
xle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause themalfunction indicator on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have
been designed to sat-
isfy California’s low-emission regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using such gasoline couldadversely affect the ve
hicle’s catalytic con-
verter and cause the e
ngine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina- tion of this indicator while using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarily mean the vehi-cle’s emission-control system is malfunction- ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest usi
ng a different, lower-
sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter- mine if the problem
is fuel-related.
N00301102005
Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline
can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling during idling,abnormal engine noise
, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a differ
ent brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunc
tion indicator (“SER-
VICE ENGINE SOON”
or “Check engine
light”) flashes, have
the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.  Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in hard startingand poor acceleration.
If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the gasoline when you refuel thevehicle. The additive
will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a MitsubishiMotors Genuine cleani
ng additive. Using an
unsuitable additive c
ould make an engine
malfunction. For details,
please contact the
nearest authorized Mits
ubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N GWhen handling fuel, comply with the safety regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
 Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. Whenrefueling your vehicle,
always turn the
engine off and keep
away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Alwayshandle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. Perform the whole
refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel tank filler cap, etc.) by your- self; do not let any other person near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person tohelp you and that person was carrying static electricity,
fuel vapor could be
ignited. Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did something
else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances. Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.WA R N I N G

The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components: The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The seat belt pre-te
nsioners will operate
under the same conditions as the airbag con- trol unit. When the seat belt pr
e-tensioners activate,
some smoke is released and a loud noise willbe heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to
intentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some temporary irritation topeople with respiratory problems. The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe front or side impact, evenif the seat belt is not
being worn. The seat belt
pre-tensioners may not activate in certain col- lisions, even though the vehicle may appearto be severely damage
d. Such non-activation
does not mean that something is wrong with the seat belt pre-tens
ioner system, but rather
that the collision fo
rces were not severe
enough to activate the system.

The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit
monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the item
s listed above a
nd all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with theF.A.S.T.-key] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags will operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit. When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not
intentionally inhale
the smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will
deflate quickly, so you
may not even notice that the airbag was inflated. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driverfrom seeing or being able
to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properlyworn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat if needed. Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint syst
ems” on page 4-21.

N00418600256
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to
vehicle dynamics and sa
fety 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 front pas- senger 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 whichcrashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded
by an EDR, special
equipment is required, a
nd access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, ot
her 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.
N00417900223
The driver’s seat posit
ion 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 receivesfrom this sensor. If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, th
e SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light” on page 4-28.
N00418000364

NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no dataare 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 aslaw enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquire
d during a crash inves-
tigation.
