backdoor
fully and then move the locking
tube (A) to the LOCK position (B); this will ensure
that the backdoor remains in the fully opened posi-
tion. To subsequently release the stopper, move the

door stopper, rendering the backdoor un-
able to be closed. Security alarm system*
E00301500657
The security alarm

system is designed to prevent un-
lawful entry into the vehicle. It will alert people
nearby if a door, the backdoor, or the bonnet is
opened when the vehicle has not been unlocked us-
ing the keyless entry system.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the fol-
lowing occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehicle.
(the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the interior
intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active” when
the vehicle leaves the factory.
When making changes to the settings, please fol-
low the procedure listed in the section titled “Chang-
ing the system settings” on page 1-11. CAUTION
l
Do not
modify
or add parts to the securi-
ty alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm
to malfunction.
NOTE l The
alarm system

will not be activated if the
doors (including the backdoor) have been
locked using a key or the central door lock
switch (instead of the keyless entry system). l
If the
turn-signal
lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using the
keyless entry system, the security alarm sys-
tem may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
l In the following situations, the security
alarm system could be more likely to be acci-
dentally activated.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window, door, or the sunroofopen
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf- fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra- tion by hail, thunder, etc.

The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer
sounds
intermittently, and the security
alarm indicator (A) blinks) The system preparation time extends from the
point at
which

all of the doors (including the back-
door) are locked by the keyless entry switch to the
point at which the system activation mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door without using the keyless entry system and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops, and the security alarm indicator
continues to blink slowly)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts. If an unlawful opening
of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the
bonnet is detected during the system armed mode,
the alarm will be activated to warn people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition. Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or
a

vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds
for approximately 30 seconds. Refer to “Alarm ac-
tivation” on page 1-14.
NOTE
l The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation during
the system preparation mode or the system armed
mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm once it
has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 1-13,
“Cancelling the alarm” on page 1-14.

or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some-
one who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
tem or set the security alarm system to the “in-
active” mode.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby. Changing the security alarm settings

E00800600991
If the water

temperature gauge indication remains
in the overheating zone for a long time, the engine
may be overheating. If this occurs, take the follow-
ing corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the en-gine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine com-
partment]
With the engine still running, raise the bon-
net to ventilate the engine compartment.

[If steam is coming from the engine compart-
ment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops,
raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine com-
partment. Restart the engine. WARNING
l Do not
open
the bonnet while steam is com-
ing from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot. For emergencies

NOTE
l If
genuine leather
is wet with water or is wash-
ed in water, wipe off water as quickly as pos-
sible with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mil-
dew may grow.
l The genuine leather surface may be damaged
if a nylon brush or synthetic fibre is rubbed
hard against it.
l Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface.
Be sure to use neutral detergents.
l Remove dirty patches or oil substances quick-
ly as they can stain genuine leather.
l The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long
hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it
in the shade as much as possible.
l When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and
stick to the seat. Cleaning the exterior of your
vehicle E00900700195
If the
following
is left on your vehicle, it may
cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash
the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from factories,
chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coal-tar,
etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of insects,
tree sap, etc.
Washing E00900901875
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up
from the road

surface can damage the paint coat
and body of your vehicle if left in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to pro-
tect your vehicle from this damage. This will also
be effective in protecting it from environmental el-
ements such as rain, snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the
vehicle in the shade and spray it with water to re-
move dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean
water and a car washing brush or sponge, wash the
vehicle from top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. After
washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and
flanges of the doors, bonnet, etc., where dirt is like-
ly to remain. CAUTION
l
When washing the
under side of your ve-
hicle or wheel, be careful not to injure
your hands.
l If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF”
position to deactivate the rain sensor be-
fore washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the
wipers will operate in the presence of wa-
ter spray on the windscreen and may get
damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash
as its brushes may scratch the paint sur-
face, causing it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on
darker coloured vehicles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electri-
cal components in the engine compart-
ment, as this may adversely affect engine
starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the
underbody; be careful not to spray water
into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equip-
ment apply high pressure and heat to the
vehicle. They may cause heat distortion
and damage to the vehicle resin parts and
may result in flooding of the vehicle inte-
rior. Therefore;
• Maintain a distance of approx. 50 cmor more between the vehicle body and
the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass, hold the nozzle at a distance of more
than 50 cm and at right angles to the
glass surface. Vehicle care
