Testing the theft-alarm system
N00510600091
Use the following procedure to test the system:
1. Lower the driver’s window.
2. Arm the system as explained in “Armed stage”.
3. Make sure that the theft-alarm indicator comes on and
flashes for approximately 20 seconds.
4. Wait a few seconds and then unlock the driver’s side door
by using the inside door lock knob and open the door.
5. Check to be sure that the horn (the siren for vehicles
equipped with the interior alarm sensor) sounds intermit-
tently and the headlights blink on and off when a door is
opened.
6. Disarm the system by unlocking all doors by the remote
control transmitter or the F.A.S.T.-key.

NOTE
Never try to operate the main switch and sub switch in dif-
ferent directions at the same time. This will freeze the
window in position.

Operating the power windows repeatedly with the engine
stopped will run down the battery. Use the window
switches only while the engine is running. 1- Open (down)
2- Close (up)

dow, unless the driver’s window lock switch is activated.

N00733800151
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
remove pollen and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it
becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”.NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of the filter. When you feel that
the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield
or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice for assistance.

The audio system can only be used when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” or “ACC” position.NOTE
To listen to the audio system while the engine is not run-
ning, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position.
If the ignition switch is left in the “ACC” position, the
accessory power will automatically turn off after a certain
period of time and you will no longer be able to use the
audio system. The accessory power comes on again if the
ignition switch is turned from the “ACC” position. Refer
to “ACC power auto-cutout function” on page 3-85.

If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the
audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.

If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi
Motors technician.
