The direction of the headlight beam (the direction in which the light shines) altersaccording to the number of people and the load in the vehicle. Lo
wer the headlight angle
if it is too high due to the number of peopleand/or the load in the vehicle so that the head- lights’ glare does not distract the drivers of approaching vehicles. First set the light switch to the “ ” position, then turn the headlight leveling switch knob to lower the
beam. The greater the number on the head- light leveling switch knob, the lower thebeam will point. Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight beam is level with the road.

When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the lever in the “lane change” posi- tion (1). It will return
to the neutral position
when you let go. Use the full position (2) when making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral position when the turn iscomplete. There may be times when the lever does not return to the neutral position. This usually happens when the steering wheel is turned only slightly. You can easily return the lever by hand.Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightly then release it, the turn signal lights and the indicator light in the instrument cluster willflash three times.
• Turn the combination headlights and dim- mer switch to the “ ” or “ ” position or put the operation mode in ON. • Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion or put the operation mode in ON.
 It is possible to modify functions as follows: • The time that the he
adlights remain on can
be changed. • The coming home light function can be deactivated. For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors dealer. On vehicles e
quipped with Mitsubishi Multi-
Communication System, screen operations can be used to ma
ke the adjustment.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked. Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keep
ing good visibility,
and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator,
and controls. Check
the instrument panel
indicators and multi-
information display for any possible prob-lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as far back as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-13 Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out. As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, ifyou give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn-signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from
the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Be sure that the parki
ng brake is firmly set
when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it
is important to set
the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against thetransaxle. When this ha
ppens, it is difficult to
move the selector lever out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engine running while you take a short nap or rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti- lated place.
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.Be careful when traveling up or down steep slopes where your bumper can scrape the road. Always remove the key from the ignition switch and lock all doors and the liftgate when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
Move effort could be required to turn the steering wheel.Refer to “Electric power steering system (EPS)” on page 5-88.

It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight iscalled the vehicle ca
pacity weight and
includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo
(including the roof load), non-factory-installed options, and the tongue weight of the trailer, if any, being towed. The tire and loading information placard located on thedriver’s door sill of
your vehicle will show
how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before
loading your vehicle:
Parking Parking on a hill Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine ru
nning risks injury or
death from accidentally moving the selec-tor lever or the accumulation of toxicexhaust fumes in the passenger compart- ment.
Where you park
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials
such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hotexhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicle, adversely affectvehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudde
n maneuvers. Signal
well in advance. Towing a trailer puts a
dditional burden on the
engine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating: When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately after towing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground) with the automatic transaxle in the “P”(PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the in
formation screen in
the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-62, 5-69.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone plac
e chocks or blocks
under both the vehicle
and trailer wheels.
Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow- ing a trailer.

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the hazard
lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.
N00836401778
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or de
ad, you can start it with
the battery from anothe
r vehicle using jumper
cables. 1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi- cle and move the selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position. 4. Set the parking brake firmly on the othervehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P” (PARK) or the manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral).5. Turn the ignition switch (the engine switch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” or “OFF” position. 6. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-13.)
