(when there is no rain or strong winds and the vehicle windows
are closed). Please turn off your phone while in speaker enroll-
ment to prevent interruption of the process.
Use the following procedure for speaker enrollment.
1. Stop your vehicle in a safe area, put the shift lever (man-
ual transaxle) in the “N”(Neutral) position, or the selector
lever {continuously variable transmission (CVT)} or
gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “P”(PARK) posi-
tion, and then pull the parking brake lever.NOTE
Speaker enrollment is not possible unless the vehicle is
parked. Make sure you park the vehicle in a safe area
before attempting speaker enrollment.
2. Press the SPEECH button.

enrollment function will time out.
The voice guide will say “Speaker enrollment has timed
out.” The system will then beep and the voice recognition
mode will be deactivated.
5. The voice guide will prompt for phrase 1. Repeat the cor-
responding phrase listed in table “Enrollment commands”
on page 3-282.

4-8 Driving safety
4Braking
N00629500446
All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of your choice at regular intervals according to
the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.When brakes are wetCheck the brake system while driving at a low speed immedi-
ately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to con-
firm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake
drums and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain
or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this
occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.When driving in cold weatherOn snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making
the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay
close attention to preceding and following vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly
depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are.When driving downhillIt is important to take advantage of the engine braking by shift-
ing to a lower gear while driving on steep downhill roads in
order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Parking
N00629600287
Parking on a hillWhen parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the
curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.For vehicles with manual transaxlePlace the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when
parking on a downhill slope, into the 1st position when parking
on an uphill slope.For vehicles with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) or Twin Clutch SSTBe sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and
that the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch
SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake
before moving the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) to the “P” (PARK) position. This prevents
loading the parking brake against the transaxle gear. When this
happens, it is difficult to move the selector lever (CVT) or
gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) out of the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.Parking with the engine runningNever leave the engine running while you take a short
sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or
poorly ventilated place.

6 How to change a tire
N00836900734
Before changing a tire, first stop your vehicle in a safe, flat
location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transaxle, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position, and move the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, move the selector lever
(CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to the “P”
(PARK) position, and turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a warning triangle,
flashing signal light, etc., at an adequate distance from the
vehicle, and have all your passengers leave the vehicle.5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the
jack, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tire that is diago-
nally opposite from the tire (B) you are changing.
WA R N I N G
!
The jack should not be used for any purpose other
than to change a tire.
Never get under the vehicle or put any portion of
your body under the vehicle while it is supported by
the jack.

Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
Towing manual transaxle vehicles with rear wheels off
the ground (Type B)Place the gearshift lever in the “Neutral” position.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-
down strap. Never place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position when towing.
CAUTION
!
This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using
sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front
end.
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as
illustrated. This could result in the driving system
damage or vehicle may jump at the carriage.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use Type D or
Type E equipment.
Do not tow continuously variable transmission
(CVT) vehicles with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated. If the vehicle is
towed like this, the continuously variable transmis-
sion (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the
transmission, thus damaging it.
If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equip-
ment.
If the manual transaxle is malfunctioning or dam-
aged, transport the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.

[For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with the
active stability control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position and only the front wheels or only the
rear wheels raised off the ground, the ASC may
operate, resulting in an accident. When towing the
vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position.
[For vehicle equipped with the Electronically con-
trolled 4WD system]
Even in “2WD” mode, the vehicle cannot be towed
with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.
