If the driver’s side po
wer liftgate switch is
pressed once while the
power liftgate is oper-
ating, the warning buz
zer will sound and the
power liftgate will move in the direction opposite to the one in which it was operating. The power liftgate can
be opened by pressing
the open switch (C). If the open switch is pressed while the power liftgate and all doors are unlocked, the power
liftgate will open after the warning buzzer sounds and the hazard wa
rning flasher blinks.
The power liftgate can
be closed by pressing
the close switch (D) on the power liftgate.
If the close switch on the power liftgate is pressed, the power liftgate will close after thewarning buzzer sounds 3 times and the hazard warning flasher
blinks 2 times.
If the close switch is pressed once while thepower liftgate is clos
ing, the warning buzzer
sounds once and the power liftgate opens.

If the auto reverse sensors (A) on either side of the power liftgate de
tect that something is
being trapped by the cl
osing power liftgate,
the warning buzzer will sound once and theliftgate will automatically reverse direction and return to the full open position.
WA R N I N G When operating the
power liftgate, make
sure that there are no people near the power liftgate and that there is sufficient space behind and ab
ove the vehicle.
Opening the power liftgate using the open switch

NOTE
 When you are carrying the F.A.S.T.-key with the power liftgate is locked, the power lift- gate can be opened by pressing the open switch even if the power liftgate is locked.  For vehicles equipped w
ith the mirror retrac-
tor switch, the outside rearview mirrors auto-matically extend when the power liftgate and all doors are unlocked using the liftgate open switch (C).

After the power liftgate has opened automati- cally, if it is detected that the power liftgate is dropping due to factors such as accumulated snow, the power liftgate will close automati-cally. A warning buzzer w
ill sound continuously
while the drop prevention mechanism is oper-ating.
If the engine is starte
d while the power lift-
gate is operating, the power liftgate may intermittently move or stop moving to pre- vent the power liftgate
from moving abruptly.
Approximately 10 seconds after the power liftgate has fully closed
or opened, power lift-
gate operation will again resume.
N00576300030
When the power liftgate main switch is off,the power liftgate can be manually openedand closed. After unlocking the power
liftgate, push the
power liftgate open
switch (A) and pull up
the power liftgate.
WA R N I N G The auto reverse mech
anism will not oper-
ate just before the power liftgate becomesfully closed. Therefore, be careful not to trap a hand, part of your body or an object at this time. When the power liftgate is closed manu- ally, the auto reverse mechanism will notoperate.  If the auto reverse mechanism has been repeatedly activated
, the power liftgate
may stop and then, de
pending on its posi-
tion, may abruptly open
or close. Once the
power liftgate is completely closed or open, automatic operation will be resumed.
CAUTION Do not damage the auto reverse sensor, when loading or unloading luggage. If the sensor isdamaged, the power lift
gate will not close
automatically.
Drop prevention mechanism

NOTE
 If snow has accumula
ted on the power lift-
gate, remove it befo
re operating the power
liftgate.  Do not install any accessory other than Mit- subishi Motors Genui
ne parts on the power
liftgate. The drop prevention mechanismmay be activated due to
the weight of the
accessory.  The drop prevention mechanism could be activated if you attempt to close the liftgate manually immediately af
ter the power lift-
gate has been comple
tely opened automati-
cally.
Sudden operation prevention mechanism

CAUTION The auto reverse will not operate while the sudden operation preven
tion mechanism is
activated.

The day/night knob (A) at
the bottom of the
mirror can be used to adjust the mirror to reduce the glare from the headlights of vehi- cles behind you during night driving.
When the headlights of the vehicles behind you are very bright, the reflection factor of the rearview mirror is automatically changed to reduce the glare. Normally, use the automatic mode. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON, the reflection factor of the mirror is automatically changed.

Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Mo
tors dealer or repair
facility of your choice.
N00529201090
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice which may have be leftaround the wheels. On vehicles that have an anti-lock braking syst
em, be careful not to
damage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.
N00568401084
The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-son, you will still be able to steer your vehi- cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

 The anti-lock braking

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the following distance indi- cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the ‘standby’display when a front vehicle is detected.
In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzersounds and a message is shown in the multi- information display.  When your vehicle stops.  When the ASC is turned off.  While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated.  When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” When the parking brake is applied.
When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer willsound and a message will
be displayed in the
multi information display. This can occur when  Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface
of the radar sensor.
 In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc. A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.  Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obsta
cles in front.
 The brake system is overheating due to continuous brake control on long down-hill slope.
NOTE
 You can also cancel the ACC control by pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed while the ACC is “ON”,the ACC will be turned off.

The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-matic driving system or as a collision avoid- ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicleor a pedestrian strai
ght-ahead in your path

 The conventional crui
se control does not
sound or display the approach alarm, will notadjust your vehicle sp
eed, and does not con-
trol the distance betw
een your vehicle and a
vehicle in front.
