N00629001709
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.
N00629201134
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.

To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage: Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuel selection”. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.
Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning. To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni- tion switch. Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take your
vehicle to a dealer
or a repair facility of your choice for ser- vice.
N00937501559
Use the engine hood release lever (located under the instrument panel near the driver’s door) to unlock the engine hood. Pull the lever toward you to release the engine hood latch.
CAUTION Damage to the catalyti
c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running your vehicle when it is
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.
Engine hood To open
WA R N I N G Never use the release lever to unlatch the engine hood while the
vehicle is in motion.
Do not drive your vehicle unless the engine hood is locked.
