Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance. Your vehicle may have been designed to sat- isfy California’s low-emission regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country otherthan California is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con-verter and cause the engine malfunction indi- cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina-tion of this indicator while you are using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarily mean the vehicle’s emission-control system ismalfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest you try using a different, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gas-oline to determine whether the problem is fuel-related.

Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
 Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as poor starting,
stalling during idling,
abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera- tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER- VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected assoon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.  Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the depos- its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could make the enginemalfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn theengine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoorareas. Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity onyour body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. Perform the whole refueling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, remov- ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do notlet any other person near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying static elec-tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited. Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity. Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances.

All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L) Front-wheel drive vehicles: 16.6 gal (63 L) 1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release le
ver located at the left
side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counter- clockwise. 4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap cord on the hook located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct handling of the fuel filler noz-zle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the noz- zle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it goes. 6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to add more fuel.
 Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.

WA R N I N G
1- Remove 2- Close
WA R N I N G Since the fuel system may be under pres- sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac- uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.CAUTION Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and cata-lytic converter damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be attempted.CAUTION To avoid fuel spillage
and overfilling, do not
“top-off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paint- work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe itoff with a soft cloth.

Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi-cle without requiring a long break-in period of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor-mance and economy of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds duringthe break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking. These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and also cause increased fuel andoil consumption, which could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be particularly careful to avoid full accelera-tion while in low shift position (low gears).  Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.)  Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

on switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the operation mode isput in ON, this indicator normally comes on and goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.)If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on may cause more dam-age to the emission control system. This could also affect fuel economy and drivabil- ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, have the system checked at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds. During vehicle operation with the indicator on, the vehicle may not accelerate when youdepress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stationary with the indi- cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with a CVT has a stronger tendency tocreep forward.NOTE
 Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) ison. The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD information (especially exhaustemission data), which may be lost if the bat- tery cable is disconnected while the engine malfunction indicator is on. This will make itdifficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.

Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However,avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designed primarily for use onpavement, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wh
eel drive vehicles are
less capable than 4-wheel drive vehicles for driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads.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 drive passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in amanner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate 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 personwearing a seat belt. Before starting the vehi- cle, always make certain that you and all your passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).
N00628800152
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors.Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your fuel use. Several rec-ommendations 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 you drive on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode-selec-tor “2WD” or “4WD AUTO” position (if so equipped).  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit. Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according to the recommenda- tions in this manual.  Always keep your vehicle well main- tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have beendrinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee ortaking a cold shower will not make you sober. Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception andreaction time. Consult with your doctor or

 Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn-signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such assudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws andmake sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400461
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. During extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop because more power is used for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe engine runs at the proper speed and if the headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary.During extreme cold weather, it is possi- ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all the lubricationpoints.  Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normaland shifting will get easier as the transaxle warms up.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine overheating, add Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super LongLife Coolant Premium or equivalent. Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.
N00629500491
All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter- vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

It is very importan
t to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight andincludes the weight of all occupants, cargo (including the roof load), non-factory- installed options, if any, being towed. The tireand loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
 Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined bydistributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and nor- mal occupant weight and dividing by two. Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight;(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.  Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool- ant. Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmis-sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are availableas factory- installed equipment (whether installed or not).  Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity.
 Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includ- ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roofrack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
* times the number of specified
occupants. (In your vehicle the number is3)  Occupant distribution: Occupant distribu- tion within the passenger compartment (Inyour vehicle the distribution is 2 in front, 1 in second row seat)

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for the safe and satisfactory operation of yourvehicle. The wrong tire pressure will cause problems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in thetire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then cause tire damage thatmay result in tire failure.  Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding experience built into your vehicle partly depends on the correcttire pressure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow torespond. Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-2.) The recommended infl
ation pressures under
normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below. Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures change severely, because tire pressures change with outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold inflation pressure”. Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked for at least threehours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side- wall. After driving several miles, your tire inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the specified cold pressure, or your tires will betoo low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower than the others, check thepressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety precautions:  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.)  Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed.  Drive at safe speeds.  After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.
