Seat belt instructions
N00406200415
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle’s motion.NOTEFor instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt” on page 2-29.1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their
backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death during deployment of the airbag,
adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely oper-
ate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 2-33. Also refer
to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 2-5.In the event of an accident, all seat belt assemblies,
including retractors and attachment hardware,
should be inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is
necessary.

Manual shift
N00540500057
Using the gearshift lever (A) or the sportronic steering wheel
shifters (B), shifting can be performed manually.
Shifting can be performed even while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
This allows the driver to enjoy sporty driving, such as quick
cornering, by nimbly downshifting to reduce vehicle speed just
before entering a curve.
CAUTION
!When manually shifting while the vehicle is being
driven, select the correct shift position to control the
engine speed so that the tachometer indicator does
not enter the red zone.Sudden engine braking and rapid acceleration can
cause the vehicle to skid. Shift down according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.If both the left and right sportronic steering wheel
shifters are operated at the same time, the transmis-
sion may not change gears.

3Turn signal lever
N00522600476
When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the
lever in the “lane change” position (1). It will return to the neu-
tral position when you let go. Use the full position (2) when
making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral posi-
tion when the turn is complete. There may be times when the
lever does not return to the neutral position. This usually hap-
pens when the steering wheel is turned only slightly. You can
easily return the lever by hand.
Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightly then release it,
the turn signal lights and the indicator light in the instrument
cluster will flash three times.
NOTEA light in the instrument panel flashes to show when the
front and rear turn signal lights are working properly.
If this light flashes faster than usual, check for a burned
out turn signal light bulb or malfunctioning connection in
the signal.
If the panel light does not come on when the lever is
moved, check for a blown fuse or a burned out bulb in the
panel.
Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• Deactivate the turn signal light 3-flash function for lane
changes.
• Adjust the time required to operate the lever for the 3-
flash function.
For further information, please contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
On vehicles equipped with Mitsubishi Multi-Communica-
tion System, screen operations can be used to make the
adjustment.
Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.
