NOTE
Do not leave the headlights and other lights on for a long period of time when the engine is not running. The battery will run down. When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the same as whenwindow glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will dry out the fog.However, if water collects inside the light, have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out. As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, therefore, be performedonly by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for fuel, water, oil, orother leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you need to find out why immediately and have itfixed.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers: Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such assudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws andmake sure you will be able to get the right fuel.

Check the battery, including terminals and cables. During extremely cold weather,the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop because more power is used for cold starting anddriving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally.Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi- ble that a very low battery could freeze. Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil
to all cylinders and
turbocharger. Then drive your vehicleslowly.

It is very importan
t to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight iscalled the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and non-factory-installed options. The tireand loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle: Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis-tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight;(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight. Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool- ant. Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, powerwindows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory- installed equipment (whetherinstalled or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity. Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includ- ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roofrack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the number of specified occupants. (In your vehicle the number is 3) Occupant distribution: distribution of occupants in a vehicle as specified. (In your vehicle the distribution is 2 in front, 1 in second row seat)

N00945800046
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings,tree sap, insect remains, sea water and otherforeign matters can damage the finish on your vehicle. Generally, the longer any foreign materialstays on the finish, the worse the damage. Wash your vehicle as s
oon as possible when-
ever the finish gets soiled.
NOTE
Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro- tectants containing silicones or wax. Such products, when applied to the instru- ment panels or other parts, may cause reflec- tions on the windshield and obscure vision.Also, if such products get on the switches of the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail- ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
NOTE
If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow. The genuine leather surface can be damaged if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush. Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, acid or alkaline solvents can discolor the genuine leather surface and should not be used. Genuine leather seats can mildew if not kept clean. Clean up any oil stains immediately.
The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlight for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate andstick to the seat.
