The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. Typical situations are shown in the illustration above. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration tothe right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main
structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may not deploy. This
threshold level may also be higher if the vehi- cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guardrail).
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close to
the deploying airbag.
Accordingly, it is important that you alwayswear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to absorb the impact and deform in order to help protect the occupants. Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare shown in the illustrations. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wearyour seat belts properly.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are not designed to deploy in situations where
they cannot provide protection to the occu- pants. Typical situations are shown in the illustra- tion. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.

The side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the middleof the passenger compartment.The 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 SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags and curtain airbags are designed toprovide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear your seat belts properly. In certain types of side collisions, the side air- bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. There are also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy at the same time, depending on the location of the impact. Some typical situations where the side air-bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the section of theseatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if
the side airbag or curtain airbag deploys.Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious injury or death to the child. Work done on or in the vicinity of the side airbag or curtain airbag componentsshould be done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a risk of a serious injury or death. Improperwork methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain airbag deployment, or render a side airbag or curtain airbaginoperable. Either of these situations could result in serious injury or death. Do not place luggage heavier than the specified on the roof carrier. Such luggage may cause the curtain air-bags to inflate accidentally, which could result in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G

If the electrical circuits become wet, furtheroperation of the vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid driving through water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through wateris unavoidable, use the following procedure: Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Drive slowly to avoid creating excessive water splashing.
N00530700098
After operating the vehicle in rough road con- ditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures: Check that the vehicle has not been dam- aged by rocks, gravel, etc. Carefully wash the vehicle with water. Drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice as soon as possible to have the brakes checked. Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog- ging the radiator core.
After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of water contamination, it mustbe replaced with new oil. Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found, dry the carpet etc. Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing, have it drained at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer replace grease in the wheel bear- ings.
N00530800187
Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-5.
Driving through water
CAUTION Never drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. Do not change the gearshift lever posi-tion (M/T) or the selector lever position (CVT) while driving through water. Frequent driving through water canadversely affect the life span of the vehicle; consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice and take the necessary measures to prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.
After driving through water, apply the brakes to be sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are wet and not functioning prop- erly, dry them out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal. Inspecteach part of the vehicle carefully.

Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Test the system by restarting the engine and driving at a speed of about 12 mph(20 km/h) or higher. If the warning light/display then remains off during driving, there is no abnormalcondition. However, if the warning light/display do not disappear, or if they come on againwhen the vehicle is driven, have the vehi- cle checked by an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or repairfacility of your choice as soon as possible.
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when dr
iving immediately
after starting the engine. These are the nor- mal sounds the anti-lock braking systemmakes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a malfunction. The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stopsworking when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).

When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A). The brackets (A) are located under each cover(B). Slide each cover (B) toward the front of the vehicle to remove it.
1. With each cover, put the tabs (C) on the cover in the holes (D) in the roof. 2. Slide the cover (B) toward the rear of thevehicle to install it.
When attaching/removing the roof carrier and loading/removing luggage, do not apply excessive pressure on a single point. Depending on how and where the force is applied, this may cause dents on the vehicleroof. Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier. Stop the vehicle periodically and check thatthe load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle and damage your vehicle, another vehicle or cre-ate a road hazard.NOTE
To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use. Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roofcarrier should be removed. Be sure that adequate clearance is main- tained for raising the liftgate when installing a roof carrier.CAUTION

Reverse the removing procedure when stor- ing the flat tire or spare tire, jack, bar and wheel nut wrench. Refer to “To remove the spare tire” on page8-7 and “Jack and tools” on page 8-5.
N00849400195
Wrap the tip of the bar with a cloth, insert itdeeply into the notch provided in the wheelcover, and pry the cover away from the wheel. Using the same procedure at the other wheelcover notches, work the wheel cover awayfrom the wheel to remove it completely.
CAUTION Driving with an improperly inflated tire can cause an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible
. Inflate the tire to the
correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-17. After changing the tire and driving the vehi- cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the wheel nuts to make sure that they have notcome loose. If the steering wheel vibrates when driving after changing the tire, have the tire checked for balance at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. Do not mix one type of tire with another or use a different size from the one listed. This would cause early wear and poor handling.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,or mud, it can often be
moved by a rocking
motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can cause overheating and transaxle failure. Letthe engine idle for a few minutes to cool the transaxle before trying again. If your vehicle is still stuck after several rock-ing attempts, call for help.
When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-20 and “Tire chains” on page 9-20. Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on thebrakes. Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking. If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off thepedal. Steer gently in the direction of the skid. Your vehicle is equipped with an anti- lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brake pedal down firmly and keep it depressed. Do not pump the brake pedalwhich will result in reduced braking per- formance.
Towing a front-wheel drive vehicle with front wheels off the ground (Type C) Operation under adverse driving conditions If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow
WA R N I N G When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and injure any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTION Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you could be seriously hurt by driving into flood water. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly several times while driving to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again. When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface(hydroplaning). This loosens your tires’ grip on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.

We hope you will never be involved in an accident, but there is always that potentialdanger. So, please be sure to buckle up and drive safely. Remain calm.Check for injuries. Report all injuries to the police, and, if necessary, call for an ambulance.Record all the details of the accident. This will provide you with accurate records of the accident for discussions with your insurance company and other personswho may be acting on your behalf. Understand your repair estimate beforeapproving repairs.Choosing the repair
shop and the brands
of parts that they use on your vehicle isyour decision.
Ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts.Many times, to save money, your insur- ance company will recommend imitation parts that do not meet the original specifi-cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship.
The strength and integrity built into yourMitsubishi vehicle is the result of a specific design referred to as “Energy Management”.Individual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock waves are absorbed by protective panels orare channeled around the passenger compart- ment. This important feature is possible because high tensile steel is used inMitsubishi panels and structural parts, some- thing that cannot be guaranteed by the manu- facturers of imitation parts. All GenuineMitsubishi body panels and support brackets are designed and constructed as important protection features in the event of an acci-dent. By replacing body parts with imitations, your vehicle may no longer meet original equipment specifications.
