NOTElThe safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstancescause the sunroof to be subjected to a physi-
cal shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunroof is fully closed. This allows the sunroof to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunroof.WARNINGl Before operating the sunroof, make sure
that nothing is capable of being trapped (head, hand, finger, etc.).
l Do not put head, hands or anything else
out of the sunroof opening while driving
the vehicle.
l Never leave the vehicle without removing
the key.
l Never leave a child (or other person who
might not be capable of safe operation ofthe sunroof switch) in the vehicle alone.NOTEl The sunroof stops just before reaching the
fully open position.
If the vehicle is driven with the sunroof in
this position, wind buffeting is lower than with the sunroof fully open.
l When leaving the vehicle unattended, make
sure you close the sunroof.
l Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is fro-
zen closed (after snow fall or during extremecold).
l Do not sit or place heavy luggage on the
sunroof or roof opening edge.
l Release the switch as soon as the sunroof
reaches the fully open or fully closed posi-
tion.
l If the sunroof does not operate when the
sunroof switch is operated, release the
switch and check whether something is trap-
ped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the sunroof checked at an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
l Depending on the models of ski carriers or
roof carriers, the sunroof may contact the
carrier when the sunroof is tilted up. Be
careful when tilting up the sunroof if such a
ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
l Be sure to close the sunroof completely
when washing the vehicle or when leaving
the vehicle.
l Be careful, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip (black rubber) around the sunroof opening. If stained with wax, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sunroof.NOTEl After washing the vehicle or after it has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the sun- roof before operating it.Sunshade

The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY NOT DE- PLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, thevehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre-
spective of the deformation and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-erly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s

WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and passenger seat belts in certain side im-
pacts. Seat belts should always be worn properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
l The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate
with great force. The driver and passen- ger should not put their arms out of the window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce the risk of serious
or possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbag and curtain airbag.

WARNINGlDo not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front seat,
in order to reduce risk of injury from the
deploying side airbag. Special care should
be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side air-bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags.
Do not re-cover seats that have side air-
bags. This could interfere with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or as- sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force orthe curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook. If the curtain
airbag was activated, any such item could
be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag from in-
flating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not lean against or be close to the area where the
side airbag and curtain airbag are loca-
ted. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain airbag inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.WARNINGl We recommend work around and on the

Economical drivingE00600102220
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispushed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques

CAUTIONlThe bird’s-eye view is an simulated view
processed by combining view captured by “Front-view camera”, “Side-view cameras(right and left)” and “Rear-view camera”.
Because of this, in the Bird’s eye-view
mode, objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In addition, there areblind spots in the vicinity of the actual vehi-
cle which are not displayed on the screen.
You may crash your vehicle even if there
seems to be a little distance between your vehicle and an object, and there may be an
object in the area where there seems to be
nothing. Be sure to check the safety around
the vehicle with your own eyes.
l The vehicle icon displayed in the Bird’s eye-
view mode differs from the actual vehicle in colour and size. Because of this, an object
near the vehicle may appear to be in contact with the vehicle, and the positional relation-ship between the vehicle and the object may
differ from the actual one.
l The view composition processing regions
are present in the four corners of the Bird’s
eyeview display, mainly at the boundary sections of views from each camera. Be-
cause of this, in the vicinity of the boundary sections, the sharpness of the views may de-crease and an object may disappear and re- appear on the screen.NOTEl In the Bird’s eye-view mode, since the views
captured by the four cameras, “Front-view camera”, “Side-view cameras (right and
left)” and “Rear-view camera” are processed based on a level flat road surface, an image
may be displayed as follows:
• An object appears to have fallen down
and looks longer or larger.
• An object having a height from the road
surface may seem to appear from the joint of the view composition processing re-gions.
l The brightness of the views from each cam-
era may vary depending on the illuminance conditions.
l An object above the camera is not displayed.
l The object displayed in the Front-view mode
or the Rear-view mode may not be displayed
in the Bird’s eye-view mode.
l The view in the Bird’s eye-view mode may
be displaced from its true position when the mounting location and angle of each camera are changed.
l The lines on the road may appear to be dis-
placed or bent at the joint of the views.Cargo loads
E00609901497
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab- in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.
l Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un-
stable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.
