Economical driving
E00600100372
For
economical driving, there are some technical re-
quirements that have to be met. The prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted en-
gine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle
and the most economical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and
noise are highly influenced by personal driving hab-
its as well as the particular operating conditions.
The following points should be observed in order
to minimize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such op-
eration will result in higher fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the aver-
age fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traf-
fic flow whenever possible. When driving on con-
gested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high en-
gine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible. Speed
At
higher vehicle speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of
the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount
of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular inter-
vals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road re-
sistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low
tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driv-
ing stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the lug-
gage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly af-
fect fuel consumption.
Also avoid driving with unnecessary luggage, etc.,
on the roof; the increased air resistance will in-
crease fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by
keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the
fuel consumption. Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200012
Driving
after drinking alcohol is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with blood alcohol levels far below the legal mini-
mum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or
a friend, or use public transportation.
Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not
make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs af-
fect your alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driv-
ing while under the influence of any of these medi-
cations. WARNING
l NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your

perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road con-
ditions.
If the DPF warning lamp and check en-
gine warning lamp come on during ve-
hicle operation
When

the DPF warning lamp and check engine
warning lamp come on, this indicates an abnormal-
ity in the DPF system. Have the system inspected
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. CAUTION
l
Continuing
to drive when the DPF warn-
ing lamp and check engine warning lamp
remain on could result in engine trouble
and DPF damage. Manual transmission*
E00602000492
The

shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever
knob. Be sure to always fully depress the clutch ped-
al before attempting to shift the lever. CAUTION
l
Do
not move the gearshift lever into re-
verse while the vehicle is moving for-
ward; doing so will damage the transmis-
sion.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
NOTE l If

it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make. Moving the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position CAUTION
l
Do
not move the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position while the vehicle
is moving forward. This could damage
the transmission.
Vehicles equipped with 5-speed man-
ual transmission
To
shift into the “R” (Reverse) position from 5 th
gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral)
position, and then move it to the “R” (Reverse) po-
sition.
Vehicles equipped with 6-speed man-
ual transmission
Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position with the pull-
ring still pulled. Starting and driving
