tion. If the vehicle is driven with the sunroof in this position, wind throb is lower than with the sunroof fully open.
●
When leaving the vehicle un
attended, make sure you
close the sunroof and remove the ignition key.
●
Do not try to operate the su

is trapped by the sunroof. If no
thing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.
●
Depending on the model of ski carriers or roof carriers, the sunroof may make contact
with the carrier when the
sunroof is tilted up. Be careful when tilting up the sunroofif such a ski carrier or a
roof carrier is installed.
●
Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.
●
Be careful, not to put any wa
x on the weatherstrip (black
rubber) around the sunroof ope
ning. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal withthe sunroof.
●
After washing the vehicle or after it has rained, wipe off any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.
●
Operating the sunroof repeated
ly with the engine station-
ary will run down the battery
. Operate the sunroof while

NOTE●
When the rear window demist
er switch is pushed, the
window glass becomes warm and the wipers become operable. Refer to “Wiper deicer switch” on page 3-77.
●
If your vehicle is equipped
with heated mirrors, when the
rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-
view mirrors are defogged or
defrosted. Refer to “Heated
mirror” on page 4-14.
●
The demister switch is not to melt snow but to clear mist. Remove snow before use of the demister switch.
●
To avoid unnecessary discharge
of the battery, do not use
the rear window demister duri
ng starting of the engine or
when the engine is not running. Turn the demister offimmediately after the window is clear.
●
When cleaning the inside of
the rear window, use a soft
cloth and wipe gently along the heater wires, being carefulnot to damage the wires.
●
Do not allow objects to touch

Retracting and extending the mirrors using the mirror retractor switchWith the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position, push the mirror retractor switch to retract the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions. After placing the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position, it ispossible to retract and extend the mirrors using the mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds.
NOTE●
Be careful not to get your hands trapped while a mirror is moving.
●
If you move a mirror by hand or it moves after hitting a person or object, you may not be able to return it to its original position using the mirr
or retractor switch. If this
happens, push the mirror retract
or switch to place the mir-
ror in its retracted position a
nd then push the switch again
to return the mirror to its original position.
●
If the battery voltage is low
and you start the engine while
extending the mirrors, the mirrors may stop part-way. If this happens, push the mirror retractor switch to retract themirrors and then push the switch again to extend them.
●
When freezing has occurred an
d mirrors fail to operate as
intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of theretractor switch as this action
can result in burn-out of the
mirror motor circuits.
CAUTION
!●
It is possible to retract and extend the mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror using the mirrorretractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by hand after retracting it using theswitch, it would not properly lock in position. As a result, it could move beca
use of the wind or vibra-
tion while you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.

Make sure that the conn
ection is made to the
appointed position (shown in the illustration). If theconnection is made directly to the negative side of the battery, the inflammable gasses generated from the battery might catch fire and explode.
●
When connecting the jump
er cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (
–) terminal.
Otherwise sparks might ca
use explosion of the bat-
tery.CAUTION
!●
Use care not to get the ju
mper cable caught in the
cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine com-
partment.
●
Use the proper cables suitab
le for the battery size to
prevent overheating of the cables.
●

Engine overheating
E00800600991
If the water temperature gauge
indication remains in the over-
heating zone for a long time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the foll
owing corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. 2. Check whether steam is comin
g from the engine compart-
ment. [If steam does not come from
the engine compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. [If steam is coming from
the engine compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops, raise the bon- net to ventilate the engine
compartment. Restart the
engine.
WARNING
!●
Do not open the bonnet wh
ile steam is coming from
the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causin
g burns. Hot water could
spurt out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very
hot. Be very careful
when opening
the bonnet.
●
Be careful of hot steam, which could be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
●
Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot.

E00901200012
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up as soon as possible with
MITSUBISHI touch-up paint to
prevent corrosion.Check body areas facing the road or the tyres carefully for damage to the paint coat caused by
flying stones, etc. The paint
code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicleinformation code plate in
the engine compartment.
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901300361

or black rough surface of the
bumper, moulding or lamps,
the surface becomes white. In
such a case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth orchamois leather.
CAUTION
!●
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
●
Do not use wax containi
ng compound (polishing
powder) which may damage
the plastic part surface.
●
Do not bring the plastic part
s into contact with gaso-
line, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric ac
id (battery electrolyte)
which may crack, stain or
discolour the plastic
parts. If they touch the plastic pa
rt, wipe them off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of
neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the
affected parts with water.
