E00600601433
Parking on a hill
To

prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move
the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and place the gearshift lev-
er into the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or
the selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position
(with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gen-
tly touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and place the gearshift lev-
er into the 1 st
position (with M/T) or the selector lev-
er into the “P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE
l If your vehicle is equipped with A/T, be sure
to apply the parking brake before moving the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If
you move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position before applying the parking
brake, it may be difficult to disengage the se-
lector lever from the “P” (PARK) position
when next you drive the vehicle, requiring ap-
plication of a strong force to the selector lev-
er to move from the “P” (PARK) position. Parking with the engine running
Never
leave the engine running while you take a
short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine run-
ning in a closed or poorly ventilated place. WARNING
l Leaving
the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (M/T) or selector lever
(A/T) or the accumulation of toxic ex-
haust fumes on the passenger compart-
ment.
Where you park
Your
front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it
over kerbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when
travelling up or down steep slopes where your bump-
er can scrape the road. WARNING
l Do
not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always
remove the key from the ignition switch
and lock all doors and the tailgate when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits
your vehicle.
For installation, refer to the instruction
manual accompanying the roof carrier.
NOTE l We

recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brackets
to be used have a special shape. For details,
we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Roof carrier mounting brackets* When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets
(A).

The brackets (A) are located under each roof
drip moulding (B). NOTE
l We

recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brackets
to be used have a special shape. For details,
we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI Authorized Service Point.
Roof carrier precaution CAUTION
l
Make
sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this
may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load
on the roof (the weight of the roof carrier
plus the weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer to “Max-
imum roof load” on page 9-07.
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and
avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the car-
rier so that its weight is distributed even-
ly with the heaviest items on the bottom.
Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof could
raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and af-
fect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
manoeuvres could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident. CAUTION
l
Before
driving and after travelling 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 l To

prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Before using an automatic car wash, check
with the attendant to determine if the roof car-
rier should be removed.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) and/or the tailgate when installing a
roof carrier. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
The compact spare tyre is not as good as
a standard tyre in controllability and sta-
bility. When the compact spare tyre is
used, avoid quick starts, sudden braking
and sharp steering.
l Avoid driving through automatic vehicle
washers and over obstacles that could pos-
sibly damage the vehicle’s undercarriage.
Because the compact spare wheel is small-
er than the original wheel, the ground
clearance is slightly reduced.
l The compact spare wheel is specifically de-
signed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle. CAUTION
l
Do
not use tyre chain with your compact
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyre
size, a tyre chain will not fit properly.
This could cause damage to the wheel
and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a rear wheel
with the compact spare wheel and then
use the removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains. CAUTION
l
The
compact spare tyre should not be
used on any other wheels, nor should
standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel covers
or trim rings be used with the compact
spare wheel. If such use is attempted, dam-
age to these items or other vehicle compo-
nents may occur.
l Upon installation of the compact spare
tyre, the overall vehicle height is lowered
slightly as the tyre is smaller in diameter
than the standard tyre. When passing
over the projections on the road, take
care not to drive the vehicle with the
same feeling as used in driving with the
standard tyre on.
l Do not install more than one compact
spare wheel at the same time.
l When the tread wear indicators appear,
the tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 8-13. NOTE
l The

wheel hanger is designed for a compact
spare wheel only. It cannot be used for stor-
age of any other kind of wheel.
Store any wheel with a punctured tyre in the
luggage area.
l Check that the compact spare wheel is not
loose by trying to joggle it with your hands
or feet. If it is loose, the wheel hanger or
hook may be deformed. Store the wheel in-
side the luggage area, and have it repaired.
To remove 1. Open the tailgate and remove the lid of thehanger mounting bolt with the bar. 2. Loosen
the hanger mounting bolt with the
wheel nut wrench. For emergencies

CAUTION
l
Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with
petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them
off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral deter-
gent then immediately rinse the affected
parts with water.
Chrome parts E00901400014
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome
parts,

wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a
special protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels* E00901500275
1. Remove
dirt using a sponge while sprinkling
water on the wheel.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing
the wheel.
3. Dry the wheel thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth. CAUTION
l
Do
not use a brush or other hard imple-
ment on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels. CAUTION
l
Do
not use any cleaner that contains an
abrasive substance or is acidic or alka-
line. Doing so could cause the coating on
the wheels to peel or become discoloured
or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such sub-
stances as soon as possible.
Window glass E00901600218
The window glass can normally be cleaned using
only a sponge and water.
Glass

cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease,
dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry
with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use the same
cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to
wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparen-
cy and visibility.
NOTE
l To clean the inside of the tailgate window, al-
ways use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.
l When cleaning the rear quarter window
glass, use a soft cloth along the antenna wire
to keep it from getting damaged. Wiper blades
E00901700017
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease,
dead

insects, etc., from the wiper blades. Replace
the wiper blades when they no longer wipe proper-
ly. (Refer to page 8-17.)
Cleaning the sunroof* E00901800265
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth.
Hard

deposits should be wiped away with a cloth
dipped in warm, neutral detergent solution. Wipe
away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh wa-
ter.
NOTE
l The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if hard cloth or organ-
ic solvent (benzine, kerosene, thinner, etc.) is
used.
Engine compartment E00902100265
Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and
end

of winter. Pay particular attention to flanges,
crevices and peripheral parts where dust containing
road chemicals and other corrosive materials might
collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in
your area, clean the engine compartment at least ev-
ery three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical com-
ponents in the engine compartment, as this may
cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery elec-
trolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them. Vehicle care
