and close by raising and lowering the door window glass as the
doors are opened and closed.

closed, the window will open slightly. While the door is open,
the window will remain in the slightly open position. When
you close the door, the window will return to its original posi-
tion.
In the unlikely event that the window remains in the open posi-
tion when you close the door, open and close the door again. If
the window still does not close, pull up the power window
switch to fully close the window with the door closed. After
releasing the switch, pull it up again for approximately 1 sec-
ond. The window glass should then return to its original posi-
tion. If it does not, have the vehicle inspected by a Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
