!Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving.
• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.
Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In
addition to the risk of heat stroke, children can acti-
vate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or
fatal accident.

Short stroke mechanism
N00553500022
The short stroke mechanism makes the doors easier to open
and close by raising and lowering the door window glass as the
doors are opened and closed.
When you pull a door handle to open a door whose window is
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.
