CAUTIONlDo not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.NOTEl The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors and the tailgate have been locked us-ing a key, the inside lock knob or the central
door lock switch (instead of the keyless en- try system or the keyless operation func-
tion).
l If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function, the security alarm system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
If the confirmation function (blinking of the turn-signal lamps by locking and unlocking
the doors and the tailgate) is deactivated, the
turn-signal lamps do not blink after the lock- ing and unlocking operation.
For information on the confirmation func- tion, refer to “Keyless entry system” on pa-
ges 3-04 , 3-22 and “To operate using the
keyless operation function” on page 3-11.
l The security alarm system could be activated
in the following situations.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferryNOTE•Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-
fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra-
tion by hail, thunder, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the
vehicle inclination detection function and the interior intrusion detection function.
Refer to “To deactivate the vehicle inclina-
tion detection function and the interior intru-
sion detection function” on page 3-37.
l The sensitivity of the interior intrusion de-
tection function can be adjusted. For details, please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends fromthe point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into ef- fect.

Front passenger’s airbag OFFindication lamp*
E00410201355
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp is located in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the indication lamp
will stay on to show that the front passen-
ger’s airbag is not operational. When the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is
turned ON, the indication lamp goes off to show that the front passenger’s airbag is op-
erational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301145WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” position or putting the
operation mode in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so could lead to improper position of the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.WARNING• Do not turn OFF the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch except when a child restraint system is fitted to the
front passenger seat.
• If the indicator does not come on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, do not fit a childrestraint system to the front passenger
seat. We recommend you to have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• If the indication lamp remains on when
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON, do not allow any-
one to sit on the front passenger seat. We recommend you to have the systeminspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch, and turn it to the “OFF” position.

The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. To start off, depress the clutch
pedal all the way down and shift into 1 st
or
“R” (Reverse) position. Then gradually re- lease the clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Vehicles with 5M/TVehicles with 6M/T
CAUTIONl Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
l Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.NOTEl During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “
” when
an upshift is recommended, and it shows a
“

type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres that differ in
size, type, brand, or wear amount may acti- vate the protection of the drive-system com-

Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on
steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep
sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have limits to the system and ability to main-tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
l Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident orWARNINGrollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.NOTEl Driving on rough roads can be hard on a ve-
hicle. Before you leave paved roads, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has
been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi- tion of the tyres, and check the tyre pres-
sures.
l MITSUBISHI
MOTORS is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and
negligent operation of a vehicle. All techni- ques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other par-
ticipating parties. Any deviation from the recommended operating instructions above
is at their own risk.
l Note that the stopping distance required of a
4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from
that of a 2-wheel drive vehicle. When driv-
ing on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you.
