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)

WARNING
(4) Seat belts should always be
worn by every adult who drives
or rides in this vehicle, and by all
children who are large enough
to wear seat belts properly.
(5) Remove any twists when using
the belt.
(6) No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from oper-
ating to remove slack, or pre-
vent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
(7) To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury in an accident, including
from a deploying driver air bag,
the driver should adjust the driv-
er’s seat to the most rear posi-
tion that still allows good
visibility and good control of the
steering wheel, the brake and
accelerator, and vehicle con-
trols.

Indicator lamps
A- Selector lever position indicator lamps
B-“N”indicator lamp
The indicator lamps in the instrument panel
are for indicating the selector lever posi-
tion and one of them will be illuminated
when the ignition is switched“ON”.
CAUTION
If the“N”(NEUTRAL) indicator lamp
(B) in the selector lever position indi-
cator flashes while you are driving,
the automatic transmission safety
device may be operating due to a
malfunction. (If the selector lever
position is in the“P”(PARK),“R”
(REVERSE) or“N”(NEUTRAL) posi-
tion, the indicator lamp does not
flash.)
Have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.
Selector positions

The“P”(PARK) position supplements the
parking brake by locking the transmis-
sion while the vehicle is parked.
The engine can be started in this posi-
tion.
Apply the parking brake before leaving the
vehicle in this position.
R - REVERSE
Shift into this position only after the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION

“R”(REVERSE) position while the
vehicle is in motion. If the lever is
shifted into the“P”or“R”position
while the vehicle is in motion, the
transmission may be damaged.
N - NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disen-
gaged. It is the same as the neutral posi-
tion on a manual transmission, and should
be used when the vehicle is stationary for

Type 1Brake fluid

(Except for vehicles with ABS )Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX”and“MIN”marks on the reservoir.
M08A025A
Type 2Type 2
(Vehicles with ABS )Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX”and“MIN”marks on the reservoir.
If the level is below the“MIN”mark, check
according to the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the“LOCK”or
“ACC”position.
2. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal
until significant resistance is felt
(normally after about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the res-
ervoir.
The brake fluid level must be between
the“MAX”and“MIN”marks on the res-
ervoir.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any
abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a
short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system, reduc-
ing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is
equipped with a special cap to prevent the
entrance of air, and this cap should not be
removed.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the
“MIN”mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
