Installation of accessories
EB24A-Cb
Before fitting any accessories, please con-
sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in
your country, and in accordance with
the guidelines and warnings con-
tained within the documents accompa-
nying this vehicle.
Only MITSUBISHI approved accesso-
ries should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modifications/Alterations to the electri-
cal or fuel systems section within this
manual.
(3) When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate exter-
nal antenna must be fitted. When a cel-
lular phone or a radio set is used by
using an internal antenna alone, it may
interfere with the vehicle’s electrical
system and adversely affect safe
operation of the vehicle.
(4) Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the“Specifications”section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.(5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-
tions before first putting into service and
prior to the attachment or installation of
accessories, parts or other modifica-
tions to the vehicle!
Important points!
Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufactur-
ers in the market, it is not possible, not only
for MITSUBISHI, but also an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer, to check whether the
attachment or installation of such parts
affects the driving safety of your
MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially autho-
rized, for example by a“general opera-
tors permit”(an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an offi-
cially approved manner of construction, or
when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts,
it cannot be deduced from that alone, that
the driving safety of your vehicle has not
been affected.Consider also that there basically exists no
liability on the part of the appraiser or the
official. Only in the case of parts
(MITSUBISHI original replacement or
exchange parts as well as MITSUBISHI
accessories) that are recommended and
released by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer and that are attached or installed by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer can you
assume, that optimal safety has been pro-
vided. The same also pertains to modifi-
cations of MITSUBISHI vehicles with
respect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases as well, you
should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

CAUTION
Before driving, make sure that the
backdoor is securely locked.
(1) When the backdoor is open, the
rear-right combination lamp is
obscured by the spare wheel.
Ensure the backdoor is securely
closed when the vehicle is mov-
ing.
If the backdoor is opened while
the vehicle is parked on the road,
alert other road users to the vehi-
cle’s presence using a warning tri-
angle or other device as required
by local legislation.
(2) If the backdoor opens when driv-
ing, luggage could fall onto the
road and cause an accident.
NOTE
The luggage compartment lamp at the []
position, the luggage compartment lamp
illuminates when the backdoor is opened
and turns off when it is closed.

Backdoor stopperOpen the backdoor fully and then move the
stopper handle (1) to the LOCK position (2);
this will ensure that the backdoor remains
in the fully opened position. To subse-
quently release the stopper, move the
handle back to the UNLOCK position (3).
CAUTION
When closing the backdoor, be care-
ful not to trap your hands.

Seat adjustment
EG21A-Ud
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are
comfortable and that you can reach the
pedals, steering wheel, switches etc. while
retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
(1) If required, always adjust the
seating before the vehicle is in
motion. After adjustments are
made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempt-
ing to move the seat and seat-
back forward and rearward
without using the adjusting
mechanism.
WARNING
(2) It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the luggage area (inside or
outside) of a vehicle. Also, the
luggage area and rear seats
should never be used as a play
area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unre-
strained in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people or children
to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and
wearing a seat belt, or in the
case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
In the interest of their safety,
children should not be allowed
to adjust the seats.
WARNING
(3) To minimize the risk of per-
sonal injury in the event of a col-
lision or sudden braking, the
seatbacks should always be in
the almost upright position while
the vehicle is in motion. The pro-
tection provided by the seat
belts may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatback is
reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in
serious injury, when the seat-
back is reclined.

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.
G28A089A
WARNING
(8) Never hold a child in your arms
or on your lap when riding in
this vehicle even if you are wear-
ing your seat belt. To do so risks
severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
(9) Always adjust the belt to a snug
fit.3-point type seat belt (with emer-
gency locking mechanism)This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to
the movement of the wearer, but in the
event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt
automatically locks to hold the wearer’s
body.
G28A050A
To fasten
Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding
the latch plate.
NOTE
When the seat belts cannot be pulled out
in a locked condition, pull the belts once
forcefully and then return them. After that,
pull the belts out slowly once again.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a
“click”is heard.
CAUTION
(1) Never wear the lap portion of the
belt across your abdomen. Dur-
ing accidents it can press
sharply against your abdomen
and increase the risk of injury.
(2) The seat belts must not be
twisted when worn.
Pull the belt slightly to adjust looseness as
desired.

WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during air bag deployment can
be killed or seriously injured.
Air bags inflate very fast, and with
great force.
If the driver and front passenger are
not properly seated and restrained
the air bags may not protect you
properly, and could cause serious or
fatal injuries when it inflates.
(1) Before driving, adjust the driv-
er’s seat as far back as pos-
sible while still maintaining
complete control of the vehicle.
(2) Before driving, adjust the front
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
(3) Make sure all vehicle occupants
are always properly restrained
using the available seat belts.
(4) With seat belts properly fas-
tened the driver and front pas-
senger should sit well back and
upright without leaning against
the window or door.
G28G157A
WARNING
(5) Do not sit on the edge of the
seat, or lean head or chest close
to the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Do not put feet or
legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.
(6) Place all infants and small chil-
dren in the rear seat and prop-
erly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint sys-
tem.
The rear seat is the safest for
infants and children.
G28G176A
WARNING
(7) Infants and small children should
never be unrestrained, stand up
against the instrument panel or
held in your arms or on your lap.
They could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision, includ-
ing when the air bag inflates.
They should be properly seated
in the rear seat in an appropri-
ate child restraint system. See
the“Child restraint”section of
this owner’s manual.

When the impact sensors detect an impact
of sufficient frontal or side force, an auto-
mated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The air bags deployment produces a sud-
den, loud noise, and releases some smoke
and powder, but these conditions are not
injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the
vehicle. People with respiratory problems
may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment;
open the windows after air bag deploy-
ment, if safe to do so.
The air bags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detect-
ing an impact to deflation of the air bags
after deployment is shorter than a blink of
an eye.
CAUTION
Air bags are inflated at an extremely
rapid speed. In certain situations,
contact with inflating air bags can
result in light cuts, bruises, and the
like.
G28G242A
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bag system
EG29C-D
The driver’s air bag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the steer-
ing wheel. The front passenger air bag is
contained in the instrument panel above the
upper glove box.
The driver air bag and the front passen-
ger air bag are designed to inflate at the
same time even if the passenger seat is not
occupied.

G28L079D
Deployment of front air bagsThe front air bags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front air bags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is
shown in the illustration:
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a speed of approxi-
mately 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate to severe frontal impact within the shaded area
between the arrows
The front air bags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above
the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately 25
km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting straight into a solid wall
that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below
the above threshold level, the front air bags may not deploy. How-
ever, this threshold speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either deforming ormoving (for example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard
rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it
is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat
belts will help you to keep safe distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel during the initial stages of air bag deploy-
ment. The initial stage of air bag inflation is the most forceful, and
can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat
belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection in a col-
lision. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) air bags are
designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety
and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.
