l
When stowing the seat, hold it with your
hands and lower it slowly. Unless you
hold the seat securely, it may suddenly tip
under its own weight, trapping your
hands.
l Do not pull the belt while a person is sit-
ting on the seat. The seat could tip back-
ward, resulting in an accident.
NOTE l The

removed third seat head restraints (C)
can be fitted together and stored in the cargo
net in the luggage area. (Refer to “Cargo net”
on page 5-45.) To return
1. Use
the handle (B) to lift the entire seat. Slow-
ly tip the seat forward, then push it until it
locks securely in position. 2. Pull
the belt (D) on the back of the seatback.
With the belt pulled, raise the seatback to its
original position. 3. After
raising the seatback to its original posi-
tion, push lightly on it to confirm that it has
been secured.
4. Install the head restraints. Making a flat seat
E00404300064
By

removing the head restraints and fully reclining
the seatbacks of the seats, one large flat seat is ach-
ieved. WARNING
l Never
drive with luggage or passengers
on the flat seat. This is highly dangerous.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained 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 equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle 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. CAUTION
l
To
make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a
safe place.
l Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
l When sliding the seat, be sure not to
catch your hand or leg.
l Do not walk around on top of the seats af-
ter they have been laid flat.
l To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-
tempt to move them back and forth. Seat and seat belts

Seat belt reminder/warning lamp
E00409800774
A
tone and warning lamp are used to remind the
driver to fasten the seat belt.
NOTE
l For the front passenger seat, the warning func-
tion works only while a person is sitting on
the seat. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion,

the warning lamp will illuminate and a tone
will sound for about 6 seconds. If the driver’s seat
belt remains unfastened for approximately
1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the
tone sound intermittently (each 12 times) when the
vehicle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfas-
tens the seat belt while driving, the warning lamp
and tone will issue further warnings. And if the
seat belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and
tone will issue further warnings each time the vehi-
cle starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is
fastened, the warnings will stop. WARNING
l In
order to reduce the risk of serious or fa-
tal injury in an accident, always wear
your own seat belt. Do not allow anyone
to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is
also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil-
dren should additionally be restrained in
a secure child restraint system.
NOTE l When

luggage is placed on the front passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may, de-
pending on the weight and position of the lug-
gage, cause the warning tone to sound and
the warning lamp to come on.
Adjustable seat belt anchor (front
seats) E00405000433
The seat belt anchor height can be adjusted.
Move

the seat belt anchor (A) down with the lock
knob (B) depressed. To move the anchor up, slide
it without depressing the lock knob. WARNING
l When
adjusting the seat belt anchor, set
it at a position that is sufficiently high so
that the belt will make full contact with
your shoulder but will not touch your neck.
l Adjust the shoulder belt anchor only
when the vehicle is not in motion.
l Make sure the anchor is securely locked
in position after adjusting it.
Rear seat belt storage E00405300393
When the second (except centre) and third seat
belts

are not in use, store them as shown in the illus-
trations.

Instructions:
l For
small infants, an infant carrier should be
used. For small children whose height when
seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in con-
tact with the face or the throat, a child seat
should be used.
l The child restraint system should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height and
properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher de-
gree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN
THE REAR SEAT. WARNING
l When
installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system. Fail-
ure to do so can result in severe or fatal
injury to your child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac-
cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child or infant seat se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent injury to
your child.
NOTE l Before

purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the

seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat
cushion, it may be difficult to securely install
some manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled for-
ward or to either side easily on the seat cush-
ion after the seat belt has been tightened,
choose another manufacturer’s child restraint
system.

Depending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following 2 locations: • To the lower anchorage in the rear seat,ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (See page 2-27).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-28).
Older children E00406700192
Children who have outgrown the child restraint sys-
tem should be seated in the rear seat and wear com-
bination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and posi-
tioned

low on the abdomen so that it is below the
top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could in-
trude into the child’s abdomen during an accident
and cause injury. WARNING
l Children
who are not buckled up can be
thrown out of the vehicle in an accident.
l Children who are not buckled up can
strike other people in the vehicle in an ac-
cident. WARNING
l A
child should never be left unattended
in your vehicle. When you leave the vehi-
cle, take the child with you. Seat and seat belts

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
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

Trailer towing
E00610000420
In
order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, have a
trailer towing device that meets all relevant regula-
tions in your area, mounted consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A

towing bar should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE l If

you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to page 9-07.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by
10 % of the gross combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications

l
Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
A/T
The 2 nd
gear (in “Sports mode”) is recommended
on slopes or at low speed. Use the 1 st
gear (in
“Sports mode”) in mountainous areas in order to
make better use of engine braking and to assist the
brake system. However, be sure that the speed does
not exceed the maximum speed limit for the selec-
ted gear. Starting and driving

WARNING
l Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,
make sure there are no sand or pebbles
under the jack base.
7. Rotate
the jack by hand until the flange por- tion (D) fits in the groove (E) at the top of
the jack. 8. Remove
the wheel nut wrench and bar from
under the third seat. (Refer to “Tools and
jack” on page 6-06.)
9. Insert the bar (F) into the wheel nut wrench (G). Then put the end of the bar into the
shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustration. Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the
tyre is raised slightly off the ground surface.
WARNING
l Stop
jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack. Spare wheel
E00801101440
Check

the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure it is ready for emergency use at any
time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored under the rear of the body.
Compact spare wheel
The compact spare tyre is designed to save space in
the luggage compartment and its lighter weight
makes it easier to use if a flat tyre occurs. CAUTION
l
The
pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-12.)
l The compact spare wheel is for tempora-
ry use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the compact spare wheel. For emergencies
