Filling the fuel tank

WARNINGWhen handling fuel, comply with the

safety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations.

Fuel is highly flammable and explosive.You could be burned or seriously injuredwhen handling it. When refuelling yourvehicle, always turn the engine off andkeep away from flames, sparks, and smok-ing materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas.

Before removing the fuel cap, be sure toget rid of your body’s static electricity bytouching a metal part of the car or fuelpump. Any static electricity on your bodycould create a spark that ignites fuelvapor.

Perform the whole refuelling process(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet any other person come near the fueltank filler. If you allowed a person to helpyou and that person was carrying staticelectricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.

Do not move away from the fuel tank filleruntil refuelling is finished. If you movedaway and did something else (for example,sitting on a seat) part-way through therefuelling process, you could pick up afresh charge of static electricity.

If the tank cap must be replaced, use onlya MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

Do not fail to read the accessories manu-als prior to the installation of accessories,parts or other modifications to the vehi-cle!

Due to the large number of accessory andreplacement parts of different manufacturesin the market, it is not possible, not only forMITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION,but also an authorised MITSUBISHIMOTORS dealer, to check whether theattachment or installation of such parts affectsthe driving safety of your vehicle.

Even when such parts are officially author-ised, for example by a “general operators per-

mit” (an appraisal for the part) or through theexecution of the part in an officially approvedmanner of construction, or when a singleoperation permit following the attachment orinstallation of such parts, it cannot bededuced from that alone, that the drivingsafety of your vehicles has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists noliability on the part of the appraiser or theofficial. Only in the case of parts(MITSUBISHI MOTORS original replace-ment or exchange parts as well asMITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories) thatare recommended and released by an author-ised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer and thatare attached or installed by an authorisedMITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer can youassume, that optimal safety has been pro-vided.

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near crash-like situations,such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that will assist in under-standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time, typically 30 seconds orless.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch data as:

How various systems in your vehicle wereoperating;

How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,

How fast the vehicle was travelling.

These data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.

To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they haveaccess to the vehicle or the EDR.

Used engine oils safety instructions

WARNING Prolonged and repeated contact may

cause serious skin disorders, includingdermatitis and cancer.

Avoid contact with the skin as far as possi-ble and wash thoroughly after any con-tact.

Keep out of reach of children.

Event Data Recording NOTE EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only

if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no dataare recorded by the EDR under normal driv-ing conditions and no personal data (e.g.,name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, could combine the EDRdata with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves-tigation.

Seat adjustment

WARNINGDo not attempt to adjust the seat while

driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-trol and result in an accident. Afteradjustments are made, ensure the seatingis locked in position by attempting tomove the seat forward and rearward with-out using the adjusting mechanism.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in theluggage area of a vehicle. Also, the luggagearea and rear seats should never be usedas a play area by children. In a collision,people or children riding unrestrained inthese areas are more likely to be seriouslyinjured or killed.

Do not allow people or children to ride inany area of your vehicle that is notequipped with seats and seat belts, andmake sure that everyone travelling in yourvehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,or in the case of a child is strapped in achild restraint.

To minimize the risk of personal injury inthe event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in thealmost upright position while the vehicle isin motion. The protection provided by theseat belts may be reduced significantlywhen the seatback is reclined. There isgreater risk that the passenger will slideunder the seat belt, resulting in seriousinjury, when the seatback is reclined.

Do not place objects under the seats. Thiscould prevent the seat from lockingsecurely, and it could lead to an accident.It may also cause damage to the seat orother parts.

CAUTIONMake sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or

with adult supervision for correct and safeoperation.

Do not place a cushion or the like betweenyour back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints willbe reduced in the event of an accident.

E00407203690

The information written in this supplementalrestraint system (SRS) section containsimportant points concerning the driver’s andfront passenger’s airbags.The SRS airbags are designed to supplementthe primary protection of the driver and frontpassenger side seat belt systems by providingthose occupants with protection against headand chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seatbelts; for maximum protection in all types ofcrashes and accidents, seat belts shouldALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives orrides in this vehicle.

E00407303721

The SRS includes the following components:

Only when the ignition switch or the opera-tion mode is under the following conditions,the airbags will operate.[Except for vehicles equipped with the key-less operation system]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the keyless operationsystem]The operation mode is in ON.

The airbags deployment produces a sudden,loud noise, and releases some smoke andpowder, but these conditions are not injuri-ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.People with respiratory problems may feelsome temporary irritation from chemicalsused to produce the deployment; open the

windows after airbag deployment, if safe todo so.The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-ment, so there is little danger of obscuredvision.

Supplemental restraint sys-tem (SRS) - airbag

How the supplemental restraint system works

1- Airbag module (Driver)2- Airbag module (Passenger)

CAUTIONAirbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.

In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, light cuts,bruises, and the like.

WARNING IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-

ERLY SEATED.A driver or front passenger too close tothe steering wheel or instrument panelduring airbag deployment can be killed orseriously injured.Airbags inflate very fast, and with greatforce.If the driver and front passenger are notproperly seated and restrained, the air-bags may not protect you properly, andcould cause serious or fatal injuries whenit inflates.

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or leanhead or chest close to the steering wheel orinstrument panel. Do not put feet or legson or against the instrument panel.

The label shown here is attached on vehicleswith front passenger’s airbag.

E00407402161

The driver’s airbag is located under the pad-ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel.The front passenger’s airbag is contained inthe instrument panel above the glove box.The front passenger’s airbag deploys at thesame time as the driver’s airbag, even if thepassenger seat is not occupied.

Place all infants and small children in therear seat and properly restrained using anappropriate child restraint system.The rear seat is the safest for infants andchildren.

Infants and small children should neverbe unrestrained, stand up against theinstrument panel or held in your arms oron your lap. They could be seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision, includingwhen the airbag inflates. They should beproperly seated in the rear seat in anappropriate child restraint system. See the“Child restraint” section of this owner’smanual.

WARNINGOlder children should be seated in the

rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,with an appropriate booster seat ifneeded.

Caution for installing the child restraint on vehicle with front passenger’s airbag

WARNINGExtreme Hazard!

NEVER use a rearward facing childrestraint on a seat protected by anACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATHor SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD canoccur.

The front airbags are designed to deploywhen the vehicle suffers a moderate to severefrontal impact. A typical condition is shownin the illustration.

The front airbags will deploy if the severityof impact is above the designed thresholdlevel, comparable to an approximately

25 km/h collision when impacting straightinto a solid wall that does not move ordeform. If the severity of the impact is belowthe above threshold level, the front airbagsmay not deploy. However, this thresholdspeed will be considerably higher if the vehi-cle strikes an object that absorbs the impactby either deforming or moving (for example,another stationary vehicle, pole or a guardrail). Because frontal collisions can easily moveyou out of position, it is important to alwaysproperly wear your seat belts. Your seat beltswill help keep you in a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel duringthe initial stages of airbag deployment. Theinitial stage of airbag inflation is the mostforceful, and can possibly cause serious orfatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in yourvehicle are your primary means of protectionin a collision. The SRS airbags are designedto provide additional protection. Therefore,for your safety and the safety of all occu-pants, be sure to always properly wear yourseat belts.

With certain types of frontal collisions, thevehicle’s body structure is designed to absorbthe shock to help protect the occupants from

harm. (The vehicle body’s front area maydeform significantly as it absorbs the impact.)Under such circumstances, the front airbagsmay not deploy irrespective of the deforma-tion and damage to the vehicle body.Examples of some typical conditions areshown in the illustration.

Because the front airbags do not protect theoccupant in all types of frontal collisions, besure to always properly wear your seat belts.

Deployment of front airbags

The front airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…

1- Head-on collision with a solid wall atspeed of approximately 25 km/h orhigher

2- Moderate to severe frontal impactwithin the shaded area between thearrows

The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…

1- Collision with a utility pole, tree orother narrow objects

2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of atruck

3- Oblique frontal impacts

4The front airbags are not designed to deployin conditions where they cannot typically pro-vide protection to the occupant.Such conditions are shown in the illustration.

Because the front airbags do not protect theoccupant in all types of collisions, be sure toalways properly wear your seat belts.

The front airbags may deploy if the bottom ofthe vehicle suffers a moderate to severeimpact (undercarriage damage).Examples of some typical conditions areshown in the illustration.

Because the front airbags may deploy in cer-tain types of unexpected impacts as shown inthe illustration that can easily move you outof position, it is important to always properlywear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help

keep you in a safe distance from the steeringwheel and instrument panel during the initialstages of airbag deployment. The initial stageof airbag inflation is the most forceful andcan possibly cause serious or fatal injuries ifyou contact it at this stage.

The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…

1- Rear end collisions2- Side collisions3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when…

1- Collision with an elevatedmedian/island or kerb

2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pot-hole

3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope andhits the ground

WARNINGDo not attach anything to the steering

wheel padded cover, such as trim material,badges, etc. It might strike and injure anoccupant if the airbag inflates.

Do not set anything on, or attach anythingto, the instrument panel above the glovebox. It might strike and injure an occu-pant if the airbag inflates.

Do not attach accessories to, or put themin front of, the windscreen. These objectscould restrict the airbag inflation, orstrike and injure an occupant if the air-bags inflate.

There is a supplemental restraint system(“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrumentpanel. The system checks itself every time theignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON. The SRSwarning lamp will come on for several sec-onds and then go out. This in normal andmeans the system is working properly.If there is a problem involving one or more ofthe SRS components, the warning lamp willcome on and stay on.At the same time, the warning display willappear on the information screen in the multi-information display (Type 1 only).

The SRS warning lamp/display is shared bythe SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensionersystem.Do not put packages, pets or other objects

between the airbags and the driver orfront passenger. It could affect airbag per-formance, or could cause injury when theairbag inflates.

Right after the airbag inflation, severalairbag system components will be hot. Donot touch them; you could be burned.

The airbag system is designed to workonly once. Once the airbags havedeployed, they will not work again. Theymust promptly be replaced and the entireairbag system must be inspected by anauthorised MITSUBISHI MOTORSdealer.

SRS servicing

WARNINGAny maintenance performed on or near

the components of the SRS must be per-formed only by an authorisedMITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer. Do notpermit anyone else to do service, inspec-tion, maintenance or repair on any SRScomponents or wiring; similarly, no partof the SRS should ever be handled or dis-posed of by anyone except an authorisedMITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.Improper work on the SRS components orwiring could result in inadvertent deploy-ment of the airbags, or could render theSRS inoperative; either situation couldresult in serious injury.

Do not modify your steering wheel, seatbelt retractor or any other SRS compo-nents. For example, replacement of thesteering wheel, or modifications to thefront bumper or body structure canadversely affect SRS performance andlead to possible injury.

If your vehicle has received any damage,you should have the SRS inspected by anauthorised MITSUBISHI MOTORSdealer to ensure it is in proper workingorder.

If you found any tear scratch, crack ordamage to the portion of the airbags, youshould have the SRS inspected by anauthorised MITSUBISHI MOTORSdealer.

NOTE If your vehicle has to be scrapped, do this in

line with local legislation and contact anauthorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealerto safely dismantle the airbag system.

For economical driving, there are some tech-nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is aproperly adjusted engine. In order to achievelonger life of the vehicle and the most eco-nomical operation, have the vehicle Servicedby an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORSdealer at regular intervals in accordance withthe service standards.Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gasand noise are highly influenced by personaldriving habits as well as the particular operat-ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear ofbrakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduceenvironmental pollution.

Drive according to traffic conditions, andavoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration, andsudden braking, as they will increase fuelconsumption.

Shift only at an appropriate speed and enginespeed. Always use the highest shift positionpossible.

Frequent starting and stopping increases theaverage fuel consumption. Use roads withsmooth traffic flow whenever possible. Whendriving on congested roads, avoid use of alow shift position at high engine speeds.

The vehicle consumes fuel even duringidling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-sible.

At higher the vehicle speed, more fuel is con-sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even aslight release of the accelerator pedal willsave a significant amount of fuel.

Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressureincreases road resistance and fuel consump-tion. In addition, low tyre pressures adverselyaffect tyre wear and driving stability.

Do not drive with unnecessary articles in theluggage compartment. Especially during citydriving where frequent starting and stoppingis necessary, the increased weight of the vehi-cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Alsoavoid driving with unnecessary luggage orcarriers, etc., on the roof; the increased airresistance will increase fuel consumption.

Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.Unnecessary fuel consumption is also causedby keeping a hot engine running. After theengine is started, commence driving as soonas possible.

Depress the brake pedal with the right foot atall times.Using the left foot could cause driver move-ment delay in case of an emergency.

To prevent sudden acceleration, never racethe engine when shifting from the “P”(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.

Operating the accelerator pedal while theother foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency and may cause pre-mature wear of brake pads.

CAUTIONUse the selector lever in the correct shift

position in accordance with driving condi-tions.Never coast downhill backward with theselector lever in the {“D” (DRIVE), “2”(SECOND) or “L” (LOW)} or coast forwardwith the selector lever in the “R”(REVERSE) position.The engine may stop and the unexpectedincrease in brake pedal effort and steeringwheel weight could lead to an accident.

In these sit-uations, even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke or resistsbeing depressed, keep depressing the brakepedal down harder and further than usual;stop driving as soon as possible and have thebrake system repaired.

The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-cate a fault in the braking system. A warningis also displayed on the multi-informationdisplay. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” and“Brake warning display” on page 5-34, 5-36.

Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and drums and prevent normal brakingafter driving in heavy rain or through largepuddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If thisoccurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowlywhile lightly depressing the brake pedal.

It is important to take advantage of the enginebraking by shifting to a lower shift positionwhile driving on steep downhill roads inorder to prevent the brakes from overheating.

Avoid hard braking situations.New brakes need to be broken-in by mod-erate use for the first 200 km.

The disc brakes are provided with a warn-ing device which emits a shrieking metal-lic sound while braking if the brake padshave reached their limit. If you hear thissound, have the brake pads replacedimmediately.

The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in emergency stop situationsand provides greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, thebrakes will be applied with more force thanusual.

E00626001350

This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automaticblinking of the hazard warning lamps to alertvehicles approaching from behind duringsudden braking. When the emergency stopsignal system operates, the hazard warningindicator lamp in the instrument clusterblinks rapidly at the same time.

CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device

designed to exercise braking force greaterthan its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance between your vehicle anda vehicle in front of you without relying toomuch on the brake assist system.

NOTEOnce the brake assist system is operational,

it maintains great braking force even if thebrake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal.

When the brake assist system is in use whiledriving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operationnoise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and doesnot indicate faulty operation. Continue todepress the brake pedal.

E00607102766

Environmental conditions can have an effecton braking. During sudden braking whenthere is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the roadsurface, a skid may occur. In this situation,steering control and braking effectiveness isreduced and the stopping distance isincreased. The vehicle may also go into anuncontrolled spin.The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-tional stability, ensuring controllability andproviding optimum braking force.

Always maintain the same distance fromthe vehicle in front of you as you wouldfor a vehicle not equipped with ABS.Compared with vehicles not fitted withABS, your vehicle may require a longerstopping distance in the following cases:• Driving on gravel or snow-covered

roads.• Driving with tyre chains installed.• Driving on roads where the road surface

is pitted or has other differences in sur-face height.

• Driving on bumpy roads or other poordriving surfaces.

Operation of ABS is not restricted to situ-ations where brakes are applied suddenly.This system may also operate to preventwheel lock when you are driving overmanholes, steel road-work plates, or thevehicle is driven over steps or level differ-ences in the road, road markings, or othersurfaces which are difficult for the wheelsto grip.

When the ABS is activated, you may feelthe brake pedal pulsation and the vibra-tions of the vehicle body and steeringwheel. You may also hear a characteristicnoise. At this time, you may feel as if thepedal attempts to resist being depressed.This is a normal result of the ABS opera-tion, and does not indicate a problem.If this situation occurs, depress thebrake pedal more firmly in order tooperate the ABS. Do not pump thebrake. This will result in reduced brak-ing performance.

You will hear the operation sound of themotor coming from the engine compart-ment immediately following start off afterstarting the engine. If the brake pedal isdepressed at that moment, a brake pedalpulsating is felt.

This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosisoperation of the ABS and does not indi-cate a malfunction.

The ABS becomes operative after thevehicle has accelerated to a speed inexcess of approximately 10 km/h. It stopsoperating when the vehicle decelerates toa speed below approximately 5 km/h.

Operating hints

CAUTION Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural

laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. Itcannot for instance avoid accidents that mayresult from excessive speed on bends or fol-lowing another vehicle too closely or aqua-planing. It should remain the driver’s task toobserve safety precautions to judge speedsand brake applications correctly in such con-ditions.

Be sure to use tyres of the same type and sizeon 4 wheels.If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS maynot function normally.

Never install a limited slip differential,which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-UINE parts, as the ABS may not functionnormally.We recommend you to consult an authorisedMITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

Reckless driving can lead to acci-dents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drivecarefully. This means into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.

Be sure to use the same specified type andsize of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, theASC may not work properly.

Do not install any aftermarket limited slipdifferential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.

NOTEAn operation noise may be emitted from the

engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, youmay feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion.• When the ignition switch is set to the “ON”

position or the operation mode is put in ON.• When the vehicle is driven for a while after

the engine is turned on.When the ASC is activated, you may feel a

vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that the system is operatingnormally. It does not indicate a malfunction.

When the anti-lock brake system warninglamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at approximately 40 km/h or more.

If the temperature in the braking system con-tinues to increase due to continuous brake

control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink.To prevent the brake system from overheat-ing, the brake control of the traction controlfunction will be temporarily suspended.The engine control of the traction controlfunction and normal brake operation will notbe affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place.When the temperature in the braking system

has come down, the indicator will beturned off and the traction control functionwill start operating again.

NOTE The indicator may turn on when you start

the engine. This means that the battery volt-age momentarily dropped when the enginewas started. It does not indicate a malfunc-tion, provided that the indicator goes outimmediately.

Park the vehicle in the shade.Parking in the hot sun will make the vehi-cle inside extremely hot, and it willrequire more time to cool the interior.If it is necessary to park in the sun, openthe windows for the first few minutes ofair conditioning operation to expel the hotair.

Close the windows when the air condi-tioning is in use. The entry of outside airthrough open windows will reduce thecooling efficiency.

Too much cooling is not good for thehealth. The inside air temperature shouldonly be 5 to 6 °C below the outside airtemperature.

When operating the system, make sure theair intake, which is located in front of thewindscreen, is free of obstructions such asleaves and snow. Leaves collected in theair-intake plenum may reduce air flowand plug the plenum water drains.

If the air conditioning seems less effectivethan usual, the cause might be a refrigerantleak. We recommend you to have the systeminspected.The air conditioning system in your vehiclemust be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant ND-OIL8.Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant willcause severe damage which will result in theneed to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-ditioning system. The release of refrigerantinto the atmosphere should be prevented.It is recommended that the refrigerant berecovered and recycled for further use.

The air conditioning should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in cold

weather. This is to prevent poor lubrication ofthe compressor internal parts and to maintainthe air conditioning in the best operating con-dition.

E00801704287

If water enters the brake discs, such aswhen driving through puddles, the brakesmay temporarily become ineffective. Insuch cases, lightly depress the brake pedalto see if the brakes operate properly. Ifthey do not, lightly depress the pedal sev-eral times while driving in order to dry thebrake pads.

When driving in rain or on a road withmany puddles a layer of water may formbetween the tyres and the road surface.

This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistanceon the road, resulting in loss of steeringstability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the followingitems:

Avoid high-speed operation, suddenacceleration, abrupt brake application andsharp cornering.

Depressing the brake pedal during travelon snowy or icy roads may cause tyreslippage and skidding. When tractionbetween the tyres and the road is reducedthe wheels may skid and the vehicle can-not readily be brought to a stop by con-ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether youhave anti-lock brake system (ABS). Asyour vehicle is equipped with ABS, brakeby pressing the brake pedal hard, andkeeping it pressed.

Allow extra distance between your vehi-cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking.

Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pullaway from a standstill slowly after con-firming safety around the vehicle.

Drive as slow as possible when driving onbumpy or rutted roads.

Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your ownvehicle.

Operation under adverse driving conditions

On a flooded road

NOTE

(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.(c) Always maintain the specified tyre

inflation pressures.

CAUTIONDo not drive on flooded roads, through deep

puddles, and so on. If you inevitably had torun on a flooded road and the vehicle wasexposed to water, be sure to have your vehi-cle inspected by an authorised MITSUBISHIMOTORS dealer.

engine is hot. The coolant system is underpressure and any hot coolant escapingcould cause severe burns.

Anti-freeze

Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINESUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PRE-MIUM” or equivalent*.*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based

non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate andnon-borate coolant with long life hybridorganic acid technology

CAUTIONDo not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or

any engine coolants mixed with alcohol ormethanol anti-freeze. The use of an improperanti-freeze can cause corrosion of the alu-minium components.

Do not use water to adjust the concentrationof coolant.

Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result ina reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-ing performance thus adversely affecting theengine.

Do not top up with water only.Water by itself reduces the rust-protectiveand anti-freeze qualities of the coolant andhas a lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if it shouldfreeze. Do not use tap water, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.

To ensure proper operation of the washers atlow temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.

E01000802055

The fluid level must be between the “MAX”and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.

The fluid level is monitored by a float. Whenthe fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,the brake warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of thebrake pads, but this does not indicate anyabnormality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should bechecked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also bechecked for leaks at the same time.

If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from thebrake system.If this occurs, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked.

Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 orDOT4 from a sealed container. The brakefluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture inthe brake fluid will adversely affect the brakesystem, reducing the performance.

CAUTIONDo not use any fluid other than water or

washer fluid.Also, do not use soapy water, engine anti-freeze, or other liquid instead of washerfluid.Other liquids could cause streaking on thevehicle’s painted surfaces, damage thewasher pump, or clog the nozzle, leading tothe washer fluid not spraying.

NOTE The washer fluid container serves the wind-

screen and rear window. If the washer fluid level in the washer fluid

reservoir is at the LOW mark, you canreplenish with approximately 2 litres ofwasher fluid.

WARNINGTake care in handling brake fluid as it is

harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skinand will damage to painted surfaces. Wipeup spills immediately. If brake fluid getson your hands or in your eyes, flush imme-diately with clean water. Follow up with adoctor as necessary.

CAUTIONUse only the specified brake fluid.

Do not mix or add different brand of brakefluid to prevent chemical reaction.Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch,mix with, or get into the brake fluid.This will damage the seals.

Battery

E01001203981

The condition of the battery is very importantfor quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system working properly. Regularinspection and care are especially importantin cold weather.

Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to preventthe brake fluid from deteriorating exceptmaintenance.

Make sure that the projection on the fillercap is pointing rearward as shown in theillustration when the cap is closed.

*: Front of the vehicleClean the filler cap before removing and

close the cap securely after maintenance.

Battery

CAUTION NOTEAfter replacing the battery, the electronic

control system data for the automatic trans-mission, etc., will be erased. As a result, shiftshocks may occur.Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-eral changes in speed.

Battery precautions

WARNINGNote operating instructions

When you handle the battery, carefullyobserve the following cautions for safety.

No smoking, no naked flames, no sparks

Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames awayfrom the battery because the battery couldexplode. Also, do not short-circuit the bat-tery terminals. Doing so could createsparks.

Shield eyes

Always wear protective eye goggles whenworking near the battery. Battery electro-lyte contains sulphuric acid, so getting itin your eyes is dangerous.

Battery acid

Battery electrolyte contains sulphuricacid, so you must wear gloves and eye pro-tection when handling the battery.If battery electrolyte gets in your eyes oron your skin, rinse it away with cleanwater and immediately see a doctor.If you accidentally swallow battery elec-trolyte, immediately see a doctor.If battery electrolyte splashes on yourclothing or on the vehicle, rinse it off withlots of water.

Explosive gas

The battery emits highly explosive hydro-gen gas. Ventilate when charging the bat-tery in an enclosed space.

WARNING

Battery

Maintenance 10-9

The electrolyte level must be between thespecified limit on the outside of the battery.Replenish with distilled water as necessary.The inside of the battery is divided into sev-eral compartments; remove the cap from eachcompartment and fill to the upper mark. Donot top up beyond the upper mark becausespillage during driving could cause damage.

Check the electrolyte level at least once everyfour weeks, depending on the operating con-ditions.If the battery is not used, it will discharge byitself with time.Check it once every four weeks and chargewith low current as necessary.

The capacity of the battery is reduced at lowtemperatures. This is an inevitable result ofits chemical and physical properties. This iswhy a very cold battery, particularly one thatis not fully charged will only deliver a frac-tion of the starter current which is normallyavailable.We recommend you to have the batterychecked before the start of cold weather and,if necessary, have it charged or replaced.This does not only ensures reliable starting,but a battery which is kept fully charged alsohas a longer life.

To disconnect the battery cable, stop theengine, first disconnect the negative (-) termi-nal and then the positive (+) terminal. Whenconnecting the battery, first connect the posi-

tive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) ter-minal.

Keep away from children

Keep it out of reach of children.

Checking battery electrolyte level

WARNING

During cold weather

Disconnection and connection

NOTEOpen the terminal cover (A) before discon-

necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-nal of the battery.

Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect thebattery cable from the positive (+) terminal.

WARNINGKeep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away

from the battery because the battery couldexplode.

The battery electrolyte is extremely caus-tic. Do not allow it to come in contact withyour eyes, skin, clothing, or the paintedsurfaces of the vehicle.Spilt electrolyte should be flushed imme-diately with ample amounts of water.Irritation to eyes or skin from contactwith electrolyte requires immediate medi-cal attention.

Ventilate when charging or using the bat-tery in an enclosed space.

CAUTIONKeep it out of reach of children.Never disconnect the battery when the igni-

tion switch is in the “ON” position or theoperation mode in ON. Doing so could dam-age electric components.

Never short-circuit the battery. This couldcause it to overheat and be damaged.

If the battery is to be quick-charged, first dis-connect the battery cables.

In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure todisconnect the negative (-) terminal first.

Always wear protective eye goggles whenworking near the battery.

Do not bring the nearby parts, the plasticparts and so on into contact with sulphuricacid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour them.If they are in contact, wipe off with softcloth, chamois or the like and an aqueoussolution of neutral detergent then immedi-ately rinse the affected parts with plenty ofwater.

WARNING NOTEKeep the terminals clean. After the battery is

connected, apply terminal protection grease.To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.

Check to see if the battery is securelyinstalled and cannot be moved during travel.Also check each terminal for tightness.

When the vehicle is to be left unused for along period of time, remove the battery andstore it in a place where the battery fluid willnot freeze. The battery should be stored onlyin a fully charged condition.

E01001802140

Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and otherdamage. Replace the tyres if there are deepcuts or cracks. Also check each tyre forpieces of metal or pebbles.The use of worn tyres can be very dangerousbecause of the greater chance of skidding orhydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyresmust exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres tomeet the minimum requirement for use.Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-face of the tyre as the tyre wears, therebyindicating that the tyre no longer meets theminimum requirement for use. When thesewear indicators appear, the tyres must bereplaced with new ones.

E01007201888

E01001902763

Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,road surface conditions and individualdriver’s driving habits. To equalise the wearand help extend tyre life, it is recommendedto rotate the tyres immediately after discoveryof abnormal wear, or whenever the wear dif-ference between the front and rear tyres isrecognisable.When rotating tyres, check for uneven wearand damage. Abnormal wear is usuallycaused by incorrect tyre pressure, improperwheel alignment, out of balance wheel, orsevere braking. Consult an authorised

MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer to determinethe cause of irregular tread wear.Wheel condition

Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil lefton the glass will evaporate when the bulb getshot and the vapour will condense on thereflector and dim the surface.

NOTE If any system does not function but the fuse

corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. Werecommend you to have your vehiclechecked.

CAUTION If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a

short time, we recommend you to have theelectrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it.

Never use a fuse with a larger capacity thanspecified or a substitute (such as a cable orfoil). Doing so could cause the circuit wiresto overheat and create a fire.

Replacement of lamp bulbs

CAUTIONDo not install commercially available LED-

type bulbs.Commercially available LED-type bulbscould adversely affect the operation of thevehicle, such as by preventing the lamps andother vehicle equipment from operatingproperly.

Bulbs are extremely hot immediately afterbeing turned off.When replacing a bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before touching it. You couldotherwise be burnt.

Handle halogen lamp bulb with care. The gasinside a halogen lamp bulb is highly pressur-ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching ahalogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter.

Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with abare hand, dirty glove, etc.The oil from your hand could cause the bulbto break the next time the headlamps areoperated.If the glass surface is dirty, it must becleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., andrefit it after drying thoroughly.

NOTE If you are unsure of how to carry out the

work as required, we recommend you to con-sult a specialist.

Be careful not to scratch the vehicle bodywhen removing a lamp or lens.
