WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLYEVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. Thisreduces the risk of injury in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when the airbags inflate.During sudden brakin
g just before a col-
lision, an unrestra
ined or improperly
restrained driver or front passenger canmove forward into di
rect contact with, or
within close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate.The beginning stage of
airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes incontact with the ai
rbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rear impact collisions, and in lower- speed frontal collisions because the air- bags are not designed
to inflate in those
situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel during airbag deployment can beseriously injure
d or killed.
• Airbags inflate ve
ry quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas- senger are not properly seated and restrained, the airbag may not providethe proper protection, and can cause serious injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, al
ways properly wear
your seat belt and ad
just the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining a position that still
allows the driver to
have good control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle con-
trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy-ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the passenger always we
ars the seat belt
properly, remains seat
ed upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrain
ed in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G Airbags inflate very
quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of theseat or sit with your
lower legs too close to
the instrument panel,
or lean your head or
chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument panel. Do not put your feet or
legs on or against
the instrument panel.

WA R N I N G Infants and small children should never ride unrestrained,
or lean against the
instrument panel. They should never rideheld in your arms or on your lap. They can be seriously inju
red or killed in an
accident, especially when the airbagsinflate. Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, properly re
strained in an appro-
priate child restraint system. Refer to“Child restraint syst
ems” on page 4-25.
WA R N I N GNEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously inju
red or killed.
Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be usedin the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properly worn, and with an
appropriate booster
seat (including a
booster cushion) if
needed. Refer to “Children
who have outgrown
child restraint syst
ems” on page 4-32.

The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillar, the rear pillar and the side sections of the roof.The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the ve
hicle that is impacted,
even with no passenger in the seat.Also, when the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will deploy.Curtain airbag system
WA R N I N G The side airbags and
curtain airbags can
cause serious injury
or death to anyone
too close to the airb
ag when it deploys. To
reduce the risk of in
jury from a deploying
side airbag or curtai
n airbag, dr
iver and
front passenger must be properlyrestrained and seated well back, upright, and in the middle of
the seat. Do not lean
against the door.WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
second row seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat. Special careshould be taken with children.
 Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Suchobjects can interfere with proper side air-bag deployment, and
cause injury during
deployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbagdeployment. Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where the curtain airbag (B) depl
oys, such as on the
windshield, side door glass or front andrear pillars and roof
side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates
, the microphone or
other object may be
hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.WA R N I N G

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to seve
re side impact to the middle
of the passenger compartment.A typical situation is shown in the illustra- tion. The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. The
WA R N I N G Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook. If the cur-tain airbag was activated, any such itemcould be propelled aw
ay with great force
and could prevent th
e curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directlyon the coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pocket
s of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook. Do not install seat cove
rs or re-cover seats
that have side airbag
s. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance. Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear- facing child restraint systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible, andmake sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained and away from the door.
 Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if thechild is seated in a child restraint system.The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if the side airbag or cu
rtain airbag deploys.
Failure to follow all of these instructionscould lead to serious in
jury or death to the
child. Work done on or in th
e vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain
airbag components
should be done only
by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a serious injury or death. Improper work methods can cause acci
dental side airbag
or curtain airbag depl
oyment, or render a
side airbag or curtai
n airbag inoperable.
Either of these situations could result inserious injury or death. Do not place luggage
heavier than the
specified on the roof carrier. Such luggage may caus
e the curtain air-
bags to inflate acci
dentally, which could
result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination 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 openingdoors 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 when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly beovercome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alon
e in the vehicle. In
addition to the risk
of heat stroke, chil-
dren can activate switches and controls,resulting in an injury
or fatal accident.

Utility vehicles have
higher ground clearance
and a narrower track, which enables them to perform in a wide variety of off-road situa-tions. Because of the higher ground clear- ance, these vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them handle differentlythan ordinary vehicles when driving on pave- ment. They are not designed to maneuver or corner at the same speed on pavement as con-ventional 2-wheel driv
e passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform sati
sfactorily in off-road condi-
tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid operati
ng the vehicle in a
manner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As w
ith other vehicles of
this type, failure to ope
rate this vehicle cor-
rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-nificantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Be
fore starting the vehi-
cle, always make cert
ain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).

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.  When driving on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode-selec-tor “4WD ECO”, “4WD AUTO” or “AWC ECO”, “NORMAL” position (if so equipped). For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather conditionssafely 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 enginewastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even 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 aler
tness, perception and
reaction time. Consul
t with your doctor or
pharmacist before dr
iving while under the
influence of any of these medications.

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 and wearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked. Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keep
ing 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 far back as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower swit
ch 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 7-13 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. Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out. As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, ifyou give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn-signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
