1-2 General information
1Fuel selection
N00301000853
Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gasoline only. It is
equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe especially designed to
accept only a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing noz-
zle.Gasoline detergent additivesIn the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add
detergents to their gasoline to minimize fuel-injector fouling
and minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent gasoline helps
keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system
working properly.
Octane requirement2.4 liter engine modelYour vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline hav-
ing a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91
RON.3.0 liter engine modelUnleaded gasoline having an octane number of 87
[(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON may be used, though it recom-
mended your vehicle be operated on premium grade unleaded
gasoline having a minimum octane number of 91
[(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON.
To get maximum performance, premium gasoline is recom-
mended. Oxygenated gasolineGasoline sold at some service stations contains oxygenates
such as ethanol, although the oxygenates may not be identified
by those names. Oxygenates are required in some areas of the
country. Such fuel can be used in your vehicle.Ethanol (Gasohol)A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90 %
unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle, provided the
octane number is at least as high as that recommended for
unleaded gasoline.MethanolDo not operate your vehicle on gasoline containing methanol
(wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol could adversely
affect the vehicle’s performance and damage critical parts of
the vehicle’s fuel system.
WA R N I N G
!Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed when
handling it. Whenever you refuel your vehicle, stop
the engine and keep flames, sparks, and smoking
materials away from the vehicle. Always handle fuel
in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
CAUTION
!Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will damage
the engine, catalytic converter, and the oxygen sen-
sors. Also, using leaded gasoline is illegal, and will
void your warranty coverage of the engine, catalytic
converter, and oxygen sensors.

2 Seat belts
N00406000455
Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WA R N I N G
!To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraint systems must
always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems”
on page 2-50 for additional information.Never use one seat belt for more than one person. Never carry more people in your vehicle than there
are seat belts. Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or
under your arm. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across
your hips, not around your waist.Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle.To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
To reduce the risk to a front seat passenger of seri-
ous injury or death from a deploying airbag, make
sure the passenger always wears the seat belt prop-
erly, remains seated all the way back and upright in
their seat, and moves the seat as far back as possible.
Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
airbag” on page 2-61 for additional information.Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle even when you
are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of
the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or
child. Failure to follow these simple instructions cre-
ates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in
the event of an accident or sudden stop.Children 12 years old and under should always ride
in the rear seat and be properly restrained. This
reduces their risk of serious injury or death in an
accident, especially due to a deploying front passen-
ger airbag. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on
page 2-50 for additional information.Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system.Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety
seat and positioned in the rear seat.In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies,
including retractors and attachment hardware,
should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is
necessary.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following com-
ponents:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON”
or “START” position. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is
released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harm-
ful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it
may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory
problems.
The pre-tensioners activate whenever a moderate-to-serve
impact is applied to the front or side of the vehicle, even if the
seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certain collisions, even though the vehicle may
appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activation does not
mean that something is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner
system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe
enough to activate the system.1- SRS warning light

WA R N I N G
!The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to
work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners
have been activated, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt
pre-tensioner system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

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.
Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600520
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used, to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
WA R N I N G
!Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle, always take the child out as well.Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped
inside the vehicle, especially on hot days.Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep
your vehicle keys away from children.

or chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument
panel.Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.
WA R N I N G
!Infants and small children should never ride unre-
strained, or lean against the instrument panel. They
should never ride held in your arms or on your lap.
They can be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent, especially when the airbags inflate. Seat all
infants and children in the rear seat, properly
restrained in an appropriate child restraint system.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON”
or “START” position. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The airbags will operate only when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” or “START” position.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 be deployed.
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 cause temporary irritation 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 driver from seeing or
being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.10- Side airbag modules

CAUTION
!Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In
certain situations, contact with an inflating airbag
may cause small cuts, abrasions, and bruises.

WA R N I N G
!Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving.
• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.
Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. In addition
to the risk of heat stroke, children can activate
switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal
accident.When closing a door, make sure that the door is fully
closed and the door-ajar warning display goes out
on the information screen on the multi-information
display. If the door is ajar it could open while driv-
ing and cause an accident.
