lImproper installation of electrical com-
ponents may cause an electrical fire if
incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/alteration to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this own- er’s manual.
l Using 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.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
l When fitting accessories, ensure that
maximum gross vehicle weight and
maximum axle weight are not exceeded.
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. Only in the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS
genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attach-
ed or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume, that optimal safety has been provided. Thesame also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicle with respect to the
production specifications. For your own safe-
ty, in such cases, you should only undertake
modifications according to the recommenda- tions of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.Modification/alterations to

vehicle bodywork or improper installation methods are used, i.e. protective fuses not
installed, etc.), electronic devices may be ad- versely affected, possibly resulting in an
electrical fire or other failures that may cause an accident.Genuine parts

2-04OKTE15E3General information2
CAUTIONlBy rapidly moving the selector lever back-
ward (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to
skip one gear, i.e., 3 rd
to 1 st
, 4 th
to 2 nd
or 5 th
to 3 rd
. Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of trac-
tion, downshifts must be made carefully in
accordance with the vehicle’s speed.NOTEl In sports mode, only the 4 or 5 forward gears
can be selected. To reverse or park the vehi- cle, move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as re-quired.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up- shift when the selector lever is moved to the
“+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the
engine, the transmission may refuse to per- form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automati-
cally selected.NOTEl When driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the “+(SHIFT UP)” position. This causes the trans-
mission to shift into the 2 nd
gear which is
better for smooth driving away on a slippery
road. Push the selector lever to the “-
(SHIFT DOWN)” side to shift back to the 1 st
gear.Sports mode indicator
E00612300498
In sports mode, the currently selected posi- tion is indicated by the indicator (A) shown
on the instrument panel.

WARNINGlIf you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; werecommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-20 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters, gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and lubricate if
necessary by first cleaning and then applying
multipurpose grease.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800257
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease or spray.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use- ful.
Fusible links
E01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.Fuses
