lUsing a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper-ation.

Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re-
placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author- ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Modification/alterations to

WARNINGlNever hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901070
This type of belt requires no length adjust- ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.
WARNINGl Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen and increase the risk of injury.
l The seat belts must not be twisted when
worn.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness
as desired.
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the button on
the buckle.
NOTEl As the belt retracts automatically, keep hold-
ing the latch plate while retracting so that the
belt stows slowly. Failure to do this could damage the vehicle.

NOTElIf the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioning is operating, both the engine and the air conditioning
compressor will stop. Therefore, the wind- screen and door windows may mist up be-
cause only the blower will operate.
If the windscreen and door windows mist up,
set the mode selection dial to “
” to restart
the engine.

l If the windscreen and door windows mist up
every time the engine stops, it is recommen-
ded to deactivate the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system by pressing the “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF” switch.
→ “To deactivate” on page 6-22

and the engine restarts automatically.
Type 2Type 1
NOTEl If the engine does not restart automatically
or if the engine stalls, the oil pressure warn- ing lamp, charge warning lamp, and check
engine warning lamp will illuminate.
If this occurs, the engine will not restart even if the clutch pedal is depressed again. While depressing the brake pedal, fully de-
press the clutch pedal and turn the ignition switch to the “START” position to start theengine.
For details, refer to “Starting and stopping
the engine” on page 3-17 or “Starting” on
page 6-14.CAUTIONl In the following cases, the engine will restart
automatically even if the engine was stopped
by the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system. Pay attention, otherwise an unexpected accidentmight occur when the engine restarts.
• Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting down a slope.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
• When the preset temperature of the air
conditioning is changed significantly.

“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on amanual transmission, and should only be
used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTIONl To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

If the ambient temperature is low, the selec-
tor lever position display on the multi-infor- mation display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R”
(REVERSE) position immediately after the engine has been started. This indicates that
the transmission requires warming up.
While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move, because the transmission keeps
disengaging until the warm-up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”
or “R” position.
When the selector lever position display is
blinking, perform the following procedure: 1. Depress the brake pedal with your right
foot and place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position for several
seconds.
2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and
then place the selector lever in the “D”
(DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector lever position displaystops blinking, the warm-up is comple- ted and the transmission will function
normally.
3. If the display is still blinking, repeat
steps 1 and 2 above.NOTEl While the selector lever position display is
blinking, a buzzer will sound intermittently.Selector lever positions (Main
