If a hand or head is trapped, for safety the door window is auto-
matically lowered a little.

ditions or other circumstances cause the door window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by

secutively, the safety mechanism is deactivated and nor-
mal closing of the door window will be aborted.

times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem-
porarily cancelled.

switch is pressed. Therefore be especially careful
that fingers are not trapped in the door window
opening.

Do not leave the headlights and other lights on for a long
period of time when the engine is not running. The battery

lects inside the light, have it checked by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
