NOTE
 The following table shows examples on how to
calculate tota
l cargo/load capacity of your vehi
cle with varying seating configura
tions and number and size
of occupants. This table is for illustra
tion purposes only and may not be
accurate for the seating and load capacity of your ve
hicle.
 For the following example the combined weight of oc
cupants and cargo should ne
ver exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).
 Under a maximum loaded vehicle c
ondition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWR’s) for
the front and rear axles must not be exceeded.
For further information
on GAWR’s, vehicle loading, see the “S
pecifications” secti
on of this manual.

To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the
weight of all vehicle
occupants from the vehi
cle capacity weight.
For additional information, if needed, refer to “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit” on page 6-8. DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing and Gross Axle Weight Rating numberslisted on the safety certification label (A) located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for pass
engers and/or cargo
weight.

Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and may cause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion. Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Trailer towing
WA R N I N G Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing. It may not be possible to maintain control or adequate braking.

NOTE
 European/Japanese metric tire sizing is based on European/Japanese design standards. Tires designed to these standards have thetire size molded into
the sidewall beginning
with the section width. The letter “P” is absent from this tire
size designation. Exam-
ple: 215/65R15 96H.  LT (Light Truck) -metri
c tire sizing is based
on U.S.A. design standa
rds. The size desig-
nation for LT-metric tires is the same as for P-metric tires except for the letters “LT” thatare molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example: LT235/85R16.  Temporary spare tires are high pressure com- pact spares designed for temporary emer- gency use only. Tires designed to thisstandard have the letter “T” molded into the sidewall preceding th
e size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.

Load index A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry.
H
Speed symbol A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certai
n operating con-
ditions. The maximum speed correspond-ing to the speed symbol should only be achieved under specified operating conditions

sure, vehicle loading, road condi- tions and posted speed limits)
Maximum Load
WA R N I N G Overloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affectvehicle handling, and
increase your stop-
ping distance. Use tires of the recom- mended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts
to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for inspection
and replacement. For the fusible links, pl
ease refer to “Fuse
load capacities” on page 9-22.
N00942800902
To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are locate
d in the passenger com-
partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse block in the passenger compartment is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in
the illustration.
In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in
the illustration.
While pressing the tab (A or B), pull up the cover.
N00954801342
This fuse list shows the names of the electri- cal systems and their fuse capacities. There are spare fuses in the fuse block in theengine compartment. Al
ways replace a blown
fuse with one of the same capacity as the original.
Fusible links
WA R N I N G Fusible links must not be replaced by any other device. Failing to fit the correct fus- ible link may result in fire in the vehicle,property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item concerned to the fuseand turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF.2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the engine compartment fuse block.
3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuseblock. 4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is notblown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.

cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire. If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice to
find and correct the cause.

N00942900349
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
N00943000132
The bulb should only be replaced with a newbulb with the same rating and type. The type and rating are listed on the base of the bulb.
N00950301929
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off. When replacing the bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before t
ouching it. You could
otherwise be burned. Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching ahalogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next ti
me the headlights are
used. If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dr
y completely before
installing the bulb.
NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be ca
rried out by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.  Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.  When it rains, or wh
en the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists upon a humid day, and does not indicate a func- tional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat willremove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please
have it checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.
