Modifications / alterations to
the electric or fuel systems
EB11A-D
MITSUBISHI has always manufactured
safe, high quality vehicles. In order to main-
tain this safety and quality, it is important
that any accessory that is to be fitted, or
any modifications carried out which involve
the electric or fuel systems, should be car-
ried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
guidelines.
CAUTION
Please consult an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer concerning any such
fitment or modification.
If the wires interfere with the vehicle
body or improper installation meth-
ods are used (protective fuses not
included, etc.), electronic devices
may be adversely affected, result-
ing in a fire or other accident.

Loading a roof carrier
EB10A-N
CAUTION
Do not load luggage directly on the
roof. Use a roof carrier that prop-
erly fits your vehicle.
For installation, refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
Roof carrier precaution
EB10A-R
CAUTION
(1) Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the
allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is
exceeded, this may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allow-
able load on the roof (the weight
of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer
to the“Maximum roof load”on
page 10-7.

CAUTION
(2) When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to
drive slowly and avoid exces-
sive maneuvers such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heavi-
est items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than
the roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof
could heighten the vehicle’s cen-
tre of gravity and affect the
vehicle handling characteris-
tics.
As a result, driving errors or
emergency maneuvers could
lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
(3) Before driving and after travel-
ling a short distance, always
check the load to make sure it is
securely fastened to the roof
carrier.
Check periodically during your
travel that the load remains
secure. If the load is not secure,
it could fall from the vehicle and
damage your vehicle, another
vehicle or create road hazard.NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in
gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.
(2) Before using an automatic car wash,
check with the attendant to deter-
mine if the roof carrier should be
removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate clearance is
maintained for raising the sunroof when
installing a roof carrier. (For vehicle with
sunroof)
Genuine parts
EB05A-Fj
Don’t play around with substitutes.
MITSUBISHI has gone to great lengths to
bring you a superbly crafted vehicle offer-
ing the highest quality and dependability.
Don’t reduce that quality and dependabil-
ity by using substitute parts.
Always use MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts
designed and manufactured to maintain
your MITSUBISHI vehicle at top perfor-
mance. The operation of vehicle compo-
nents can be less efficient in case of using
Non-Genuine Parts.
Failure to use Genuine Parts may invali-
date any future warranty claim.
MITSUBISHI will not be liable for any mal-
function of your vehicle that may have been
caused by the use of substitute parts in
place of MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts.
At the MITSUBISHI dealer you can also get
appropriate advice and the assembling of
Genuine Parts will be handled profession-
ally.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts are identi-
fied by this mark, and are available at all
authorized MITSUBISHI dealers.

Used engine oils safety instruc-
tions
EB12A-B
WARNING
(1) Prolonged and repeated con-
tact may cause serious skin dis-
orders, including dermatitis and
cancer.
(2) Avoid contact with the skin as far
as possible and wash thor-
oughly after any contact.
(3) Keep used engine oils out of
reach of children.Protect the environmentIt is illegal to pollute drains, water courses
and soil. Use authorized waste collection
facilities, including civic amenity sites and
garages providing facilities for disposal of
used oil and used oil filters. If in doubt, con-
tact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
Driving and alcohol
EB25A-Aa
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one
of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can even be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels below
the legal maximum. If you are drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or
use public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an
accident. Your perceptions are less
sharp, your reflexes are slower, and
your judgement is impaired when
you have been drinking.
NEVER DRINK AND THEN DRIVE.
Safe driving techniques
EB26A-I
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we rec-
ommend that you pay extra attention to the
following:
(1) Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.
(2) Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and chil-
dren inside the vehicle. Children may
play with the driving controls and this
could lead to an accident.
(3) Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accor-
dance with the laws and regulations,
and for maximum protection in case of
an accident.

(4) Switch off the engine if you stop for a
short sleep. If the engine is left run-
ning while you sleep, unexpected
vehicle operation or other accidents
may be caused by unconsciously mov-
ing the shift lever (selector lever on
automatic transmission vehicles) or
pressing the accelerator pedal. If you
inadvertently keep the accelerator
pedal pressed, the engine may over-
heat or the engine, exhaust pipe, etc.
may be abnormally overheated, result-
ing in an accidental fire. If poorly ven-
tilated, there is a risk of poisoning by
exhaust gases.
(5) Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is illegal to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is
moving.
(6) When loading luggage, be careful not
to load above the height of seats. This
is dangerous not only because rear-
ward vision will be obstructed, but also
the luggage may projected into the
passenger compartment under hard
braking.

1- Master key (Black)
2- Sub key (Grey)
Three keys are provided. Two of them are
master keys and the third is a sub key.
The master keys fit all locks. Keep one in
a safe place as a spare key.
The sub key fits all locks except the glove
box.NOTE
(1) The key number is stamped on the tag
as indicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and
store the key and key number tag in
separate places, so that you can order
a key from your authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer in the event the original
keys are lost.
(2) As your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, the engine is
designed so that it will not start if the ID
code registered in the immobilizer com-
puter and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the section entitled
“Electronic immobilizer” for details and
key usage.
(3) Keys should never be placed in areas
which contain magnetic or metal
objects as this may interfere with the
transponder.
Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
EF11C-Pa
The electronic immobilizer is designed to
reduce significantly the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is
attempted. A valid start attempt can only be
achieved (subject to certain conditions),
using a key “registered” to the immobi-
lizer system.

NOTE
(1) In the following cases, the vehicle may
not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the key. This means the
engine will not start even when the reg-
istered key is turned to the“START”
position.
•When the key contacts a key ring or
other metallic or magnetic object
(Type A)
•When the key grip contacts metal of
another key (Type B)
•When the key contacts another
immobilizing key, or some other tran-
sponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object
or additional key from the vehicle key
and turn the key back to the“ACC”or
“LOCK”position. Then try again to start
the engine.
If the engine does not start, consult an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(2) Be careful not to damage the key with
a cutter etc. since there is a transpon-
der inside the key.(3) Three keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a key
from your authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining keys to your autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. All the
keys have to be re-registered in the
immobilizer computer unit. The immo-
bilizer allows up to 8 different ID codes
to be registered; you can possess a
maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTION

tions to the immobilizer system; alter-
ations or additions could cause
