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 located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for passengers and/or cargo weight.(Except for Vehicles for Mexico)

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.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N G Weight placed on the
roof of the vehicle
will raise the vehicle’
s center of gravity
and adversely affect
its handling charac-
teristics. As a result, driving errors oremergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. Drive slowly and avoid excessive maneuverssuch as sudden brak
ing or quick turning.
Make sure that the
weight of luggage and
the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi-mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is ex
ceeded, this could
cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident. The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your r
oof load, must not
exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-3 Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof
carrier and the weight
of the luggage placed
on the roof carrier.
For additional information, refer to “Maximum roof load” on page 11-5.CAUTION Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits your vehicle. For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distri
buted evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G

How to change a tire 8-10 For emergencies

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off. 6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur- face (F), hub bolts (G)
or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then mount the spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to initially tighten them. [Type 1: On vehicles
with steel wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contac
t with the seats of
the wheel holes and the wheel is not loose. [Type 2: On vehicles with aluminiumwheels] Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the flange parts of the wheelnuts make light cont
act with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
CAUTION Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.WA R N I N G Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem (I) facing outward. If
you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you
have installed the
wheel backwards.Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel installed backwards can cause vehicle damage and result
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
Flange nuts can be te
mporarily used on the
compact spare wheel as shown in the illustra- tion, but return to the original wheel and tire as soon as possible.CAUTION Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too much.

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, please refer to “Fuse load capacities” on page 9-25.
N00942801912
To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are located in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse blocks in the passenger compart- ment are located behind the fuse lid in frontof the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration. Pull the fuse lid to remove it. In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in the illustration. While pressing the tab (A), pull up the cover (B).

This fuse list shows the names of the electri- cal systems and their fuse capacities. There are spare fuses in the fuse block cover in the engine compartment. Always replace ablown fuse with one of
the same capacity as
the original.

Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If stained,
vinyl and synthetic
leather should be cleaned with an appro- priate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or a3% solution of gentle soap in lukewarm water. 2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuumcleaner and remove any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grea
se can be removed by
lightly dabbing with
a clean white cloth
and spot remover.
N00945600187
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of gen- tle soap and water. 2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water,wring it out well, a
nd wipe off all the
soap. 3. To preserve and prot
ect, use a leather pro-
tecting agent on the genuine leather sur- face.
N00945700058
To protect your vehicle’s finish, wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle using a nonabra
sive automobile wax.
N00945800033
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings, tree sap, insect remain
s, sea water and other
foreign matters can damage the finish on yourvehicle. Generally, the longer any foreign material stays on the finish, the worse the damage.Wash your vehicle as soon as possible when- ever the finish gets soiled.
N00945901637
Chemicals cont
ained in the dirt and dust
picked up from air, rain, snow, or road sur-faces can damage the paint and body of your vehicle if left on. Frequent washing and wa
xing is the best way
to protect your vehicl
e from this damage.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it withwater to remove dust.
Next, using plenty of
clean water and
a car washing mitt or sponge,
wash the vehicle from top to bottom.Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a cham- ois or soft cloth. Af
ter washing
the vehicle,
carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.
NOTE
If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suit
able defuzzing brush
over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
If genuine leather is we
t with water, wipe it
with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildewmay grow. The genuine leather su
rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiberbrush. Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, or acid
or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine
leather surface and
should not be used. Genuine leather can
mildew if not kept
clean. Clean up any o
il stains immediately.
The genuine leather su
rface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlightfor long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the
genuine leather seat
may deteriorate and
stick to the seat.
