please take them to applicable col-
lection points, in accordance
with your national legislation
and the Directives 2006/66/EC.
By disposing of these batteries

E00201500021
This paragraph summarizes the major items of the
Auto
Stop & Go (AS&G) system such as the char-
acteristics, operating procedures, etc. For details,
refer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on
page 4-18.
The
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system reduces the
emission of exhaust gases and increases fuel effi-
ciency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system automatical-
ly stops and restarts the engine without the use of
the ignition switch or the engine switch when the
vehicle is stopped, such as at traffic lights or in a
traffic jam.
Activation E00201600051
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is automati-
cally activated when the ignition switch is turned to
the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON. Deactivation
E00201700065
You
can deactivate the system by pressing the “Au-
to Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF” switch. Then the “ ”
display/indicator will turn on. Auto stop

l When
taking a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake. NOTE
l The
key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not leave in a place that is exposed todirect sunlight, for example on the dash-
board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub- ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal computers, TVs, and other equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high frequen-
cy equipment (including medical devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex- posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the “Electronic immobilizer”
section for details and key usage.

Headlamps
NOTE l When
entering a country in which vehicles
are driven on the opposite side of the road to
the country in which your vehicles is sup-
plied, necessary measures have to be taken to
avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. However,
headlamps on this vehicle do not need any ad-
justment.
l Do not leave the lights on for a long time
while the engine is stationary (not running).
A rundown battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a func-
tional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers in-
side the lamp, we recommend you to have it
checked. Type 1
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps. OFF
All lamps off {Daytime Running Lamps
(if so equipped)} Position, tail, licence plate and instrument
panel lamps on
Headlamps and other lamps go on
Type 2
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps. OFF
All lamps off {Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (if so equipped)}
AUTO With the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON, head-
lamps, position, tail, licence
plate, and instrument panel
lamps turn on and off automati-
cally in accordance with outside
light level. {Daytime Running
Lamps (if so equipped) will be
turned on while the tail lamps
are
off.} All lamps turn off auto-
matically when the ignition
switch is turned to “OFF” posi-
tion or the operation mode is
put in OFF. Position, tail, licence plate and
instrument panel lamps on
Headlamps and other lamps go
on
NOTE
l On vehicles with the rain sensor, the sensitiv-
ity
of the automatic on/off control can be ad-
justed. For further information, please con-
tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI
Multi-Communication System (MMCS),
screen operations can be used to make the ad-
justment.

CAUTION
l
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-
freeze or any engine coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use
of an improper anti-freeze can cause cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentra-
tion of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If
the temperatures in your area drop below freez-
ing, there is the danger that the coolant in the en-
gine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a sufficient
amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it
from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary. Washer fluid
E01000700832
Open
the washer fluid reservoir cap and check the
level of washer fluid with the dipstick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with wash-
er fluid.
EMPTY
FULL NOTE
l The
washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if so
equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent. Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
E01000800631
The
brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reser-
voir tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and
“MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level is monitored by a float. When the
fluid
level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake
fluid warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake
pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked
when doing other work under the bonnet. The
brake system should also be checked for leakage at
the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of
time, it indicates leaks from the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked. Maintenance
