CAUTION
l
Since  the  fuel  system  may  be  under  pres-
sure,  remove  the  fuel  tank  filler  tube  cap
slowly.  This  relieves  any  pressure  or  vac-
uum  that  might  have  built  up  in  the  fuel
tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait un-
til  it  stops  before  removing  the  cap.  Oth-
erwise,  fuel  may  spray  out,  injuring  you
or others.
4. To 
fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct handling of the fuel filler gun. Do not
tilt the gun. Insert the gun in the tank port as
far as it goes. CAUTION
l
A 
 label which reads “UNLEADED FUEL
ONLY”  is  attached  to  the  fuel  tank  filler
lid  of  vehicles  which  can  only  operate  us-
ing  unleaded  petrol.  Serious  engine  and
catalytic  converter  damage  will  result  if
leaded  petrol  is  filled  into  these  vehicles,
and  consequently,  this  must  never  be  at-
tempted.
5. When 
the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more. CAUTION
l
To 
 avoid  fuel  spillage  and  overfilling,  do
not “top-off” the fuel tank. 6. To 
close,  turn  the  fuel  tank  filler  tube  cap
slowly  clockwise  until  you  hear  clicking
sounds,  then  gently  push  the  fuel  tank  filler
door closed. CAUTION
l
If 
 you  need  to  replace  the  fuel  tank  filler
tube  cap,  use  only  the  cap  specified  for
your model vehicle. Installation of accessories
E00200300745
We 
recommend  you  to  consult  your  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l 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  fitting
instructions  and  warnings  contained  within
the documents accompanying the parts or ac-
cessories.
l Improper  installation  of  electrical  compo-
nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect-
ly  fitted.  Please  refer  to  the  Modification/al-
teration  to  the  electrical  or  fuel  systems  sec-
tion within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle  without  an  external  antenna  may
cause  electrical  system  interference,  which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer  to  the  “Specifications”  section  for  in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Important points!
Due  to  the  large  number  of  accessory  and  replace-
ment  parts  of  different  manufactures  available  in
the  market,  it  is  not  possible,  not  only  for
MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized  Service  Point,  to  check
whether the attachment or installation of such parts
affects  thedriving  safety  of  your  MITSUBISHI-ve-
hicle.

CAUTION
l
The  safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore  the  sunroof  is  fully  closed.  This  al-
lows the sunroof to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunroof.
NOTE l The 
sunroof  stops  just  before  reaching  the
fully open position.
If  the  vehicle  is  driven  with  the  sunroof  in
this  position,  wind  throb  is  lower  than  with
the sunroof fully open.
l When  leaving  the  vehicle  unattended,  make
sure you close the sunroof and remove the ig-
nition key.
l Do  not  try  to  operate  the  sunroof  if  it  is  fro-
zen closed (after snow fall or during extreme
cold).
l Do not sit or place heavy luggage on the sun-
roof or roof opening edge.
l Release the switch as soon as the sunroof rea-
ches the fully open or fully closed position.
l If the sunroof does not operate when the sun-
roof  switch  is  operated,  release  the  switch
and  check  whether  something  is  trapped  by
the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.
l 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 sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
l Be  sure  to  close  the  sunroof  completely
when  washing  the  vehicle  or  when  leaving
the vehicle. l
Be 
 careful, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip  (black  rubber)  around  the  sunroof
opening.  If  stained  with  wax,  the  weather-
strip  cannot  maintain  a  weatherproof  seal
with the sunroof.
l After  washing  the  vehicle  or  after  it  has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
l Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the en-
gine stationary will run down the battery. Op-
erate the sunroof while the engine is running.
Sunshade
Slide the sunshade manually to open and close it. CAUTION
l
Be 
 careful  that  hands  are  not  trapped
when closing the sunshade. By the following operation, the sunshade will open
together with the sunroof.
To open
When 
the switch is pressed, the sunshade will open
together with the sunroof.
NOTE
l The sunshade cannot be closed with the sun-
roof opened. Do not attempt to close the sun-
shade when the sunroof is opened. Locking and unlocking

Seat belt inspection
E00406300550
l Check 
the belts for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing  and  for  cracked  or  deformed  metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent in warm water. After rinsing in water,
let  it  dry  in  the  shade.  Do  not  attempt  to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this will af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We 
 recommend  you  have  all  seat  belt  as-
semblies  including  retractors  and  attach-
ing  hardware  inspected  after  any  colli-
sion. We recommend that seat belt assem-
blies  in  use  during  a  collision  be  replaced
unless  the  collision  was  minor  and  the
belts show no damage and continue to op-
erate properly.
l Do  not  attempt  to  repair  or  replace  any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend  you  have  this  work  done  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts  and  could  result  in  serious  injury  in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It  must  be  replaced  together  with  the  re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407201742
The 
information  written  in  this  Supplemental  Re-
straint  System  (SRS)  section  contains  important
points  concerning  the  driver,  front  passenger,  driv-
er’s knee, side and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed  to  supplement  the  primary  protection  of  the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing  those  occupants  with  protection  against
head  and  chest  injuries  in  certain  moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.
 
The  SRS  driver  and  front  passenger  airbags  em-
ploy  a  dual  stage  airbag  system.  The  SRS  driver
and  front  passenger  airbag  is  controlled  by  the  im-
pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle and near the
center of the vehicle at floor level) and the driver’s
seat position sensor and the SRS front passenger air-
bag is controlled by the impact sensors.
 
The  SRS  side  airbags  are  designed  to  supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and
front passenger with protection against chest and ab-
domen  injuries  in  certain  moderate-to-severe  side
impact collisions.
 
The  SRS  curtain  airbags  are  designed  to  supple-
ment properly worn seat belts and provide the driv-
er and passenger with protection against head inju-
ries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.

Driving range
E00509400016
This 
value shows the distance (in km or miles) that
can be driven on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE
l If 
the  driving  range  drops  below  50  km
(30  miles)  while  the  driving  range  is  dis-
played, the display shows “---”. When this oc-
curs, top up the fuel tank as soon as possible.
l The  driving  range  varies  depending  on  road
conditions,  the  manner  of  driving  and  other
related  factors.  Consequently,  the  display
should  be  used  only  as  a  guide.  It  is  recom-
mended  to  add  fuel  as  soon  as  the  low  fuel
warning lamp in the instrument cluster illumi-
nates.
(Refer  to  “Low  fuel  warning  lamp”  on  page
3-04.)
l Refueling will update the driving range indi-
cation. l
The 
 driving  range  displayed  is  based  on  pre-
vious  fuel  consumption  data.  Disconnecting
the battery cable will result in the deletion of
existing fuel consumption data, which will af-
fect the unit’s calculations.
l The driving range figure can occasionally in-
crease if the vehicle is stopped on an incline.
This  is  because  the  fuel  has  moved  in  the
tank because of the incline and is not consid-
ered as a fault.
