Installation of accessoriesE00200300875
We  recommend  you  to  consult  your  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The  installation  of  accessories,  optional
parts,  should  only  be  carried  out  within  the
limits prescribed by law in your country, and
in  accordance  with  the  guidelines  fitting  in-
structions  and  warnings  contained  within  the
documents  accompanying  the  parts  or  acces-
sories.
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.
l When  fitting  accessories,  ensure  that  maxi-
mum  gross  vehicle  weight  and  maximum
axle weight are not exceeded.
Important points!
Due  to  large  number  of  accessory  and  replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket,  it  is  not  possible,  not  only  for  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS ,  but  also  for  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point,  to  check  whether  the  at-
tachment  or  installation  of  such  parts  affects  the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
 Even  when  such  parts  are  officially  authorized,  for
example  by  a  “general  operators  permit”  (an  ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part  in  an  officially  approved  manner  of  construc-
tion,  or  when  a  single  operation  permit  following
the  attachment  or  installation  of  such  parts,  it  can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.
 
Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on  the  part  of  the  appraiser  or  the  official.  Only  in
the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI MOTORS original
replacement  or  exchange  parts  as  well  as
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   genuine  accessories)  that
are  recommended  and  released  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized Service Point and that are at-
tached  or  installed  by  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point  can  you  assume,  that  op-
timal safety has been provided. The same also per-
tains  to  modifications  of  MITSUBISHI  vehicle
with  respect  to  the  production  specifications.  For
your own safety, in such cases, you should only un-
dertake  modifications  according  to  the  recommen-
dations  of  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized
Service Point.Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems E00200400238
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  CORPORATION   has  al-
ways  manufactured  safe,  high  quality  vehicles.  In
order to maintain this safety and quality, it is impor-
tant  that  any  accessory  that  is  to  be  fitted,  or  any
modifications carried out which involve the electri-
cal or fuel systems, should be carried out in accord-
ance with MITSUBISHI guidelines.CAUTIONl If  the  wiring  interferes  with  any  part  of
the  vehicle  bodywork  or  improper  instal-
lation  methods  are  used,  i.e.  protective
fuses  not  installed,  etc.),  electronic  devi-
ces may be adversely affected, possibly re-
sulting  in  an  electrical  fire  or  other  fail-
ures that may cause an accident.

Sports modeE00603901088
Whether  the  vehicle  is  stationary  or  in  motion,
sports mode is selected by gently pushing the selec-
tor  lever  from  the  “D”  (DRIVE)  position  into  the
manual gate (A). To return to “D” range operation,
gently  push  the  selector  lever  back  into  the  main
gate (B).
 
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rapidly sim-
ply by moving the selector lever backward and for-
ward.  In  contrast  to  a  manual  transmission,  the
sports  mode  allows  gear  shifts  with  the  accelerator
pedal depressed.SHIFT UPSHIFT DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
 
- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull  the  lever  backward  once  to  shift  down  one
gear.
CAUTIONl In  sports  mode,  the  driver  must  execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevail-
ing  road  conditions,  taking  care  to  keep
the engine speed below the red zone.
l By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
ward (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible
to  skip  one  gear,  i.e.,  3 rd
  to  1 st
,  4 th
  to  2 nd
or 5 th
 to 3 rd
. Since sudden engine braking
and/or rapid acceleration can cause a loss
of traction, downshifts must be made care-
fully  in  accordance  with  the  vehicle’s
speed.
NOTE
l The upward shift may be made automatically
in  sports  mode  when  the  engine  revolutions
rises  and  approaches  the  tachometer’s  red
zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer
dial).
l In sports mode, only the 5 forward gears can
be  selected.  To  reverse  or  park  the  vehicle,
move  the  selector  lever  to  the  “R”  (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as required.
l To  maintain  good  running  performance,  the
transmission  may  refuse  to  perform  an  up-
shift  when  the  selector  lever  is  moved  to  the
“+  (SHIFT  UP)”  position  at  certain  vehicle
speeds.  Also,  to  prevent  over-revving  of  the
engine,  the  transmission  may  refuse  to  per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the  “-  (SHIFT  DOWN)”  position  at  certain
vehicle speeds.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made au-
tomatically  when  the  vehicle  slows  down.
When  the  vehicle  stops,  1st
  gear  is  automati-
cally selected.
l When  driving  away  on  a  slippery  road,  push
the selector lever forward into the “+ (SHIFT
UP)”  position.  This  causes  the  transmission
to  shift  into  the  2 nd
  gear  which  is  better  for
smooth  driving  away  on  a  slippery  road.
Push  the  selector  lever  to  the  “-  (SHIFT
DOWN)” side to shift back to the 1 st
 gear.Sports mode indicator
E00612300355
In sports mode, the currently selected position is in-
dicated  by  the  indicator  (A)  shown  on  the  instru-
ment panel.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look  under  the  body  of  your  vehicle  to  check  for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks.WARNINGl If  you  see  a  suspicious  fuel  leak  or  if  you
smell  fuel,  do  not  operate  the  vehicle;  we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp operation
Operate the combination lamp switch to check that
all lamps are functioning properly.
If  the  lamps  do  not  illuminate,  the  probable  cause
is  a  blown  fuse  or  defective  lamp  bulb.  Check  the
fuses  first.  If  there  is  no  blown  fuses,  check  the
lamp bulbs.
For  information  regarding  the  inspection  and  re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“ Fuses”  on  page  8-20  and  “Replacement  of  lamp
bulbs” on page 8-23.
If  the  fuses  and  bulbs  are  all  OK,  we  recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters,
gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If  there  is  anything  wrong,  we  recommend  you  to
have your vehicle inspected.
