For future performance and economy of your vehicle, we recommend that you carry out thefollowing precautions.  Avoid revving the engine. Do not exceed 5,000 rpm for the first 600 miles (1,000 km). Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, prolonged high-speed driving and rough shifting for the first 300 miles (500 km).  The high-performance brake pads on your vehicle require a short break-in period. Avoid hard braking fo
r the first 300 miles
(500 km) to prevent future abnormalbrake noise and vibration from your vehi- cle’s brake pads.  The standard-equipment tires use a high- grip compound. Thus drive with extra care for the first 200 miles (300 km). Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity (See “Cargo loads pre- cautions” on page 6-10). Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

N00543000095
In manual shift, the currently selected gear is displayed on the multi-information display.
N00540800034
NOTE
 If manual shifting is selected using the spor- tronic steering wheel shifters when the gear- shift lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position,the transmission will automatically return to “D” range operation before the vehicle stops.  When the transmission returns to “D” range operation from manual shifting, it may auto- matically shift up or down from the gearselected using manual shifting depending on the vehicle speed or driving conditions.  If manual shifting is selected using the spor- tronic steering wheel shifters, “D” range operation will again be selected by movingthe gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position toward the driver’s seat, then return it toward the front passenger’s seat.

Operation of the Twin Clutch SST
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, fullydepress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. Do not release the brakes until you are readyto drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the Twin Clutch SST is engaged.
through
 Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency, may cause prema- ture wear of brake pads and may cause engine damage. Use the gearshift lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi-tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or manualshifting} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedaland steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST.Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTION

N00517500291
Overuse of the brake can cause poor brake response and premature wear of the brakepads. When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600380
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with minimal brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designe
d to operate at full
capacity, even if the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost, the effort needed topress the brake pedal is greater. If you lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-
erly, the rest of the br
ake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly. You will know this has happened if you findyou need to depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing down or stop- ping, or if the brake
warning light and the
warning display in the multi-information dis- play come on.
N00532500117
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If youhear this sound continuously, have the brake pads inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
NOTE
 Even if there is a difference in the amount of traction the wheels can get, if both of them are spinning, the limited-slip differential will not be effective.CAUTION Never start the engine while one of the front or rear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump forward. Continuously attempting to extract the vehi- cle from snow, mud, etc. while using highengine rpm may damage the limited-slip dif- ferential. Using a compact spare wheel will adversely affect the limited-slip differential; replace the compact spare wheel with a standard sizewheel as soon as possible.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature pad wear, and possible damage to the brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well. If the power assist is
lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.

Brake assist system 5-80 Features and controls
5
N00567300076
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in emergency stop situations and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00518000323
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in case the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be able to steer your vehi- cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00518300472
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti- vated at speeds from about 25 mph(40 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.NOTE
 When the brakes are applied, a faint noise may be heard, but this
is a characteristic of
high-performance brakes; it does not indicatea problem.
Brake assist system
CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance between vehicles in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.
NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist system may become opera- tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressedwhile stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating normally.
Power steering system
WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.CAUTION Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in one direction. This can cause damage to the power steering system.

 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to the section entitled “Snow tires” on page 9-19 and “Tire chains” on page 9-19.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the brakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.  If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off the pedal. Steer gently in the direction of the skid. Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brake pedal down firmly and keep it depressed.Do not pump the brake pedal which will result in reduced braking performance.  After parking on snowy or icy road, it may be difficult to move your vehicle due to freeze-up of the brake. Depress the accelerator pedal little by little to movethe vehicle after confirming safety of the vehicle.
Drive as slow as possible when driving on bumpy or rutted roads or over potholes etc.
WA R N I N G When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and injure any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTION Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you could be seriously hurt by driving into flood water.  When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly several times while driving to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again.  When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface(aquaplaning). This loosens your tires’ grip on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTION Do not depress the accelerator pedal rapidly. The vehicle could start moving when it breaks free from the ice, possibly resulting in an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot- holes can damage the tires and wheels.Wheels with low-profiles tires or under- inflated tires are especially at risk for dam- age. The vehicle’s body, bumper, muffler and other parts may be damaged if the vehicle is:• driven over a step (for example, at theentrance or exit of a parking lot);• parked too closely agai
nst a curb or parking
block, or by the side of a road with curb- stones;• driven on a steep slope;

N00938600257
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is in the trunk. Check the washer fluid level at regular inter- vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-essary.
When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-freeze (not radiator antifreeze), and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.
N00938700232
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share thereservoir tank.
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality. The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under theengine hood. The brake system should also be checked for leaks at the same time. If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from the brake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

there are other parts which do not usually need regular maintenance. But, if any of these pa
rts stops working prop-
erly, your vehicle performance could suffer.Have these items checked if you notice a problem with them. See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for assistance, if you have any questions.
N00941600062
Good brakes are essential to safe driving. Check the brake pads for wear. For good braking performance, replace the brake padswith the same type pads as the originals.
N00941700047
Brake hoses and tubing should be checkedfor:  Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose is showing through any cracks or worn spotsin the rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced. The brakes can fail if the hose wears through. Improper installation may cause twisting, or wheel, tire or chassis interference.
N00941800077
Check the following parts for damage and grease leaks:  Ball joint boots of the front suspension and steering linkage  Bellows on both ends of the drive shaft
N00942200108
The best way to k
eep carbon monoxide gas
from entering inside your vehicle is to have the engine exhaust system properly serviced. Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-plete exhaust system and nearby body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you notice any of the follow-ing:  A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
 The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication, oil changes, or required service. Any open seams or looseconnections could let dangerous exhaust fumes seep into the luggage compartment and passenger compartments.  Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage. Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks.  Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.
N00942500042
The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and tostop rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding parts of the hood latch and release lever. Work thegrease into the hood lock mechanism until all the movable surfaces are covered.
