Backdoor
E00301300336
NOTE●
The backdoor is equipped with an oil damper type back- door stopper, enabling you to hold the backdoor at a desired position.
●
While opening or closing the backdoor, you may feel slight resistance. This is a st
ructural feature of the back-
door stopper that supports the backdoor and does not indi- cate any abnormality.
To lock or unlock from outside the vehicle (Except for vehicles with
keyless entry system)
WARNING
!●
It is dangerous to drive with the backdoor open since carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can enter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell
CO. It can cause uncon-
sciousness and even death.CAUTION
!●
When the backdoor is open
, the rear-right combina-
tion lamp is obscured
by the spare wheel.
If the backdoor is opened
while the vehicle is parked
on the road, alert other r
oad users to the vehicle’s
presence using a warning tr
iangle or other device as
required by local legislation.
●
When closing the backdoor, always ensure your or other person’s fingers cannot
be caught by the back-

Reversing sensor system
*
E00615500055
This system operates when you
are backing the vehicle. It uses
corner and back sensors to detect an obstacle and sounds a buzzer to inform you of the ap
proximate distance to the obsta-
cle.
Corner and back sensor locations
E00618500014
There are two corner sensors (A
) at the corners of the rear
bumper, and two back sensors (B) in the spare wheel garnish.Obstacle detection areas
E00615600085
The detection areas of the corn
er and back sensors are limited
to those shown in the
illustration. Because the back sensors are
built in the overhanging area of
the vehicle (spare wheel gar-
nish), the sensors are unable to detect low or thin obstacles, or obstacles on the bottom of the
spare wheel garnish or the bot-
tom of the centre of the rear bu
mper. Thus, make sure to check
the surroundings as you operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
CAUTION
!●
The reversing sensor system
assists you in determin-
ing the approximate dist
ance between the vehicle
and an obstacle located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms of de
tectable areas and objects,
and may not properly detect
some objects. There-
fore, do not place excessive
confidence in the revers-
ing sensor system and operate the vehicle ascarefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with
this system.
●
Make sure to check the su
rroundings with your own
eyes to ensure safety. Do not operate the vehicle by relying on the reversing sensor system alone.

Reversing sensor system detection areasDepending on whether the vehicle is equipped with a towing bar, you can change the reversing sensor system between the standard mode and the towing bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the system to exclude th
e area in which the towing bar
is mounted from the detection areas. Vehicles without towing bar The detection areas are within
approximately 50
cm (A) from
the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with towing bar The detection areas are within
approximately 50 cm (A) from
the corner sensors, 150 cm (B) from the back sensors. The non- detection areas (C) are within
approximately 20 cm (D) from
the bumper.NOTE●
If the rear bumper or the
spare wheel garnish has been
exposed to an impact, the corn
er or back sensors may fail
and prevent the system from functioning properly. We rec- ommend you to have your vehicle inspection.
●
The sensors do not detect
objects located in the area
directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the mounted position of the corner or back sensors, the sensors may not continue detecting iteven if they detected it initially.

“SONAR OFF” indication lamp
E00615900075
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing sensor system, the “SONAR OFF” indication lamp will flash and the warning buzzer will sound for
approximately 5 seconds. Even after the
buzzer has stopped sounding, the
indication lamp will continue
flashing until the system reverts
to the normal state. We recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspection.
Rear-view camera
*
E00618400013
The rear-view camera is a system
that shows the view behind
the vehicle on a screen in the centre panel.Range of view of rear-view cameraThe range of view of the rear-v
iew camera is limited to the area
shown in the illustrations. Becau
se the camera is built in the
overhanging area of the vehicle (spare wheel garnish), it cannot show the bottom of the spare wheel garnish and the rightbehind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor). When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety around the vehicle. When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safetyaround the vehicle.
CAUTION
!●
The rear-view camera is
an assistance system that
enables the driver to check
for obstacles behind the
vehicle. Its range of view is limited, so you shouldnot overly depend on it. Plea
se drive just as carefully
as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with a rear-view camera.
●
Be sure to visually confirm safety around the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not depend entirely on the rear-view camera.

It is possible to set the display language of the screen to English, Spanish, French,
German, Italia
n, Swedish,
Dutch, Danish or Portuguese. For details, please refer to the separated owner’s manualfor “Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS)”.
●
When the vehicle is tilting b
ecause of the number of peo-
ple in the vehicle, the weight and positioning of luggage,and/or the condition of the road surface, the lines in the view from the rear-view camera may not be accurately positioned relative to the actual road.
●
The lines in the view from the rear-view camera are based on a level, flat road surface. Do not use them as a guide for distances to solid objects.
●
Because the rear-view camera has a special lens, the lines on the ground between parking spaces may not look paral- lel on the screen.
●
In the following situations, the screen indication may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality. • Low light (nighttime)• When the light of the sun or the light from a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into the lens → When an extremely bright spot is shown on the screen, colour smearing* (a
characteristic of CCD cam-
eras) can occur.
●
Colour smearing: When an
extremely bright spot (for
example, sunlight that has
reflected off the bumper) is
shown on the screen, it appear
s to leave a vertical trail.
●
If the camera is hot and is th
en cooled by rain or a car
wash, the lens can mist up. This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
A: Rear extremity of the rear bumper B: Spare wheel garnishC: Approx. 20 cm D: Approx. 50 cm E: Approx. 1 mF: Line (red) G: Line (green)
CAUTION
!●
The rear-view camera has a special lens that can make objects shown on the screen appear to be closer or further away th
an they actually are.
●
The line (red) shows the point approximately 50 cm behind the rear extremity of the rear bumper. Be careful because the spare wheel garnish over- hangs for approximately 30 cm behind the rearextremity of the rear bumper.

5. To prevent the vehicle from rol
ling when it is raised on the
jack, place a chock or block (A)
at the tyre that is diago-
nally opposite from the tyre (B) you are changing.
NOTE●
The chock shown in the illustration does not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in thevehicle for use if needed.
●
If a chock is not available,
use a stone or any other object
that is large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack,
jack handle and wheel nut
wrench ready. Refer to “Tool, jack and jack handle” on page 6-11.
Spare wheel information
E00803600022
Check the air pressure of the
spare wheel frequently and make
sure it is ready for emergency use at any time. Maintaining the spare wheel at
the highest specified air pres-
sure will ensure that it can al
ways be used under any conditions
(city/high-speed driving, varying load weight, etc.). The spare wheel is stored on
the outside of the backdoor.
(Refer to “To remove the spare tyre” on page 6-18.)
WARNING
!●
Be sure to apply a chock to the correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle. If
the vehicle moves while
jacked up, the jack could sl
ip out of position, leading
to an accident.
