For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still keeping good visibil- ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls.Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible problem.  Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.  Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance withall laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the wind- shield and door windows” on page 7-6, 7-12, 7-17, 7-22, 7-27.) Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressures.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distancesresulting in a crash and injury. Always make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floormat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle ev
en if it is a Mit-
subishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean-ing the inside of your vehicle or for any other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein-stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with the engine off, check that the floor mat is not interfering with the pedals by depressingthe pedals fully.

CAUTION Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTE
 While the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ” position, the air condition- ing compressor will run automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automatically. (In this case, the air condition-ing indicator will not change.)  When the temperature control dial is set to the “MAX A/C” position, the air selection will be automatically set to the recirculation position.  When the temperature control dial is in the “MAX A/C” position, if it is set to a positionother than “MAX A/C”, the setting for the air selection switch is selected as described below. The selection of recirculated air oroutside air depends on the setting before “MAX A/C” was used. • If automatic control was set: Automatic control is continued • If recirculated air was selected: Recirculated air is continued
• If outside air was selected:Outside air is continued

NOTE
 When the air conditioning operates with the air selection switch (A) in the outside air position, the system automatically deter- mines whether to continue using outside air or to perform recirculation.If the outside temperature is high, the system selects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selection indicator in theswitch to illuminate. Press the air selection switch to return to outside air.CAUTION Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTE
 While the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position, the air conditioning com- pressor will run automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automati- cally. (In this case, the air conditioning indi- cator will not change.)
