!
When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.
Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating
and transaxle failure.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rocking attempts, call for help.

2 Child restraint systems
N00407100626
When transporting infants or small children in your vehicle, an
appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is
required by law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and
small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose
only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it com-
plies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS
213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions
Safety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufacturer’s state-
ment of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropriate for your
child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your vehi-
cle’s seat.
For detail information, refer to the instruction manual accom-
panying the child restraint system.Guidelines for child restraint system selectionAll children should be properly restrained in a restraint device
that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.
Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for
child size and age that may vary from the recommendations
listed below.
Children less than 1 year old and children less than 20
pounds (9 kg) MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat
that MUST ONLY be used in the second row seat.
Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than
40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm)
tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the
rear seat.
Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who
are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regardless of age,
should use a suitable child seat or a booster seat (including
a booster cushion) in the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-
and-shoulder belt fits them properly.
WA R N I N G
!
All children 12 years old and under should be seated
in the rear seat, and properly restrained.
Accident statistics show that children of all sizes and
ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat, rather than in the front seat.
Any child who is too large to use a child restraint
system should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap-
and-shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt must
be positioned over the shoulder and across the chest,
not across their neck, and with the lap belt posi-
tioned low on the child’s hips, not across their stom-
ach. If necessary, a booster seat (including a booster
cushion) should be used to help achieve a proper
seat belt fit. Follow the booster seat (including a
booster cushion) manufacturer’s instructions. Only
use a booster seat (including a booster cushion) that
is certified as complying with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys-
tems and Booster Cushions Safety Regulations.

NOTE
In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with
the LATCH system, use the lower anchor points in the
outboard positions of the rear seat. It is not necessary to
use the vehicle’s seat belt. The vehicle’s seat belt, how-
ever, MUST be used to secure a child restraint system in
the center position of the second row seat.3. Latch the tether strap hook (F) of the child restraint sys-
tem to the tether anchor bar (G) and tighten the tether
strap so it is securely fastened.
4. Push and pull the child restraint system in all directions to
be sure it is firmly secured.
WA R N I N G
!
If there is any foreign material in or around the
lower anchors, remove it before installing the child
restraint system. Also, make sure the seat belt is
away from, not looped through or otherwise inter-
fering with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes
with the child restraint system, the child restraint
system will not be secured properly, could detach
and move forward in the event of sudden braking or
an accident, and could result in injury to the child or
other vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat
where the child restraint system is installed.
WA R N I N G
!
Child restraint system tether anchors are designed
only to withstand loads from correctly fitted child
restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they
to be used for adult seat belts, or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

tem to the tether anchor bar (B) and tighten the tether strap
so it is securely fastened.8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull
the restraint in all directions to be sure it is firmly secure.
Do this before each use. If the child restraint system is not
firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and
deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the
restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from
the restraint and let the belt fully retract.If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following proce-
dures.

At extremely cold ambient temperature
If the engine won’t start, press the accelerator pedal about half-
way down while cranking the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of
-31 °F (-35 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature of -31 °F (-35 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -31 °F (-35 °C) or lower, it
may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the
engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.Flooded engine
If the engine has flooded during starting, first run the starter for
5 to 6 seconds while holding down the accelerator pedal.
Return the ignition switch to the “ON” position and release the
accelerator pedal. Wait a moment, then without depressing the
accelerator pedal, turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position for another 5 to 6 seconds. Release the ignition switch
if the engine starts. Repeat as necessary. Contact your Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assis-
tance.
Using the MIVEC engine (3.0 liter models)
The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve
control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in
accordance with driving conditions for maximum engine per-
formance.
NOTE
To protect the engine,the high-speed mode may not be
selected while the engine coolant temperature is low. In
such a case, the engine revolutions do not rise to over
5,000 rpm even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
CAUTION
!
When starting the engine, make sure that you hold
the brake pedal down. During very cold weather, if
you start the engine with your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal, move your foot to the brake pedal as soon
as the engine has started.

ciently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine
idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start nor-
mally.

locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry sys-
tem (if so equipped), or F.A.S.T.-key (if so equipped) also
locks and unlocks the tailgate.
WA R N I N G
!
Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked
when driving. An unlocked door may be acciden-
tally opened by a passenger, especially by a child
who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked,
there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from
the vehicle in an accident.
WA R N I N G
!
It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate (upper gate
and lower gate) open since carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can enter the passenger compartment.
CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
When opening and closing the tailgate, make sure
that there are no people nearby and be careful not to
hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.CAUTION
!
Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading
and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could
lead to burns.
