Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas- sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

[For vehicles equippe
d with the Free-hand
Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.- key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer to “Free-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 5-29. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free- hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]The electronic immobilize
r is designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo- bilize the vehicle if
an invalid start is
attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions) using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi-cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on
top of the dashboard. • Do not take the remote control transmitter apart. • Do not excessively be
nd the key or subject
it to strong impacts. • Keep the remote control transmitter dry. • Keep away from magnetic objects such as key rings. • Keep away from devi
ces that produce mag-
netism, such as audio systems, computers and televisions. • Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagneti
c waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high fre- quency equipment (i
ncluding medical
devices). • Do not clean with
ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity.
 If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle immediatel
y contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of the key number, they canmake a new key. The key number is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key num- ber plate in a safe pl
ace separate from the
key itself.NOTE
 No keys other than those registered in advance can be used
to start the engine.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theftstarting system)” on page 5-4. Refer to “Free-hand
Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronicimmobilizer (Anti-thef
t starting system)” on
page 5-29.  When the theft-alarm is in the system opera- tional status, the alarm operates if a door or liftgate is opened after using the key, thedoor lock knob or the power door lock switch to unlock the vehicle.  The system does not enter the preparation status if the keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key operation was not used to lockthe vehicle.

Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized Mitsubi
shi Motors dealer by
referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for thevehicle keys must be changed.
Take your vehicle and
all remaining keys to
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer tohave your ID code changed. To add a key, you must already have 2 regis- tered keys. You need to register the ID code to the vehicle. Registering the ID code can be done by your- self (except for vehicles
sold in Canada), or
by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.For you to register the ID code yourself, fol- low the “Customer key programming” proce- dure below.If you choose to have
your authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and

and a loss of security pro-
tection.  A system failure is suspected when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “START” posi- tion, and the engine does
not start. In such a
case, contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
