Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in combination with theuse of seat belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from opening doors and falling out of moving vehicles.• Locked doors can help prevent outsidersfrom gaining access to your vehicle whenyou slow or come to a stop.
Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. In addition to the risk of heat stroke, chil-dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident.

Child safety locks help prevent rear passen- gers, especially children, from opening the rear door using the inside door handle. A lock lever for the child safety lock is pro-vided on each rear door. When the lever is in the lock position (1), the rear door cannot be opened using the insidedoor handle. To open the rear door when the child safety lock lever is in the lock position, pull the out-side door handle.When the lever is in the release position (2), the child safety lock is released and the rear door can be opened using the inside door han-dle.
N00510101295
WA R N I N G Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally opened by a passen- ger, especially by a child who could fallout. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from the vehicle in an accident.
Liftgate
WA R N I N G The luggage compartment was not designed for people to ride in it. Do not let passengers ride in or let children play in the luggage compartment. Riding or play-ing in the luggage compartment could result in a serious accident or injury. Before driving, be sure that the liftgate is securely closed. It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open
since carbon monox-
ide (CO) gas contained in engine exhaust gases can enter the passenger compart- ment.CO is an invisible, odorless gas that cancause unconsciousness and even death.In addition, if the liftgate opens whiledriving, luggage could fall onto the roadand cause an accident. When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure that there are no people nearby and that there is sufficient space behind and above the vehicle. In addition, becareful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc. If snow or ice has accumulated on the lift- gate, remove it before opening the liftgate. Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly close due to the weight of the snow or ice. When opening the liftgate, always fully open it. A partially opened liftgate can unexpectedly close due to its own weight.
When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgate may be greater or less than expected. The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure the area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.NOTE
Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key operation (vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift- gate.WA R N I N G

N00551400043
Wind buffeting can be described as the per- ception of pressure on
the ears or a booming
or rumbling sound. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting when driving with one or bothrear door windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting occurs with the reardoor windows open, open the front door win-dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
N00511000614
The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up. Therefore be espe- cially careful that fingers are not trapped in the door window opening. Do not deliberately trap your hands or head in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head could be trapped and per-sonal injury could result.NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or other circumstances cause the door window to be subjected to aphysical shock similar to that caused by trapped hand or head. If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for the power window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled andthe door window will not automatically open/close completely. If the window is open, repeatedly raise thedriver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condi- tion for at least 1 second, then release it. Youshould now be able to operate the driver’s door window in the normal fashion.CAUTION
What to do if you hear wind buffeting when driving Sunshade
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G Before operating the sunshade, make sure that nothing can be trapped (head, hands,fingers, etc.). Never leave a child (or other person who is incapable of safely operating the sunshade switch) alone in the vehicle. Do not bring your head, hand, finger, etc. near the opening edge of the sunshadereceptacle while the vehicle is in motion. It may cause injury to your head, hand, finger, etc. in the event of a sudden brak-ing.
CAUTION Do not place heavy luggage on the pan- oramic glass roof. Doing so could damage the glass roof. Do not hang heavy luggage from, allow a person to hang onto, or apply any other strong force to the opening of the sunshade receptacle or the parts between the ceilingand the sunshade opening on either side. Doing so could damage the sunshade.NOTE
Release the switch when the sunshade has reached a completely open or completely closed position. If the sunshade does not operate when the sunshade switch is operated, release the switch and check whether something istrapped by the sunshade. If nothing is trapped, have the sunshade checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Operating the sunshade repeatedly with the engine turned off will run down the battery.Operate the sunshade only while the engine is running. Close the sunshade when parking the vehicle for a long time. Parking in the hot sun withthe sunshade open will make the vehicle inside extremely hot.

+ (SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by each opera- tion. - (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each oper-ation.
N00560900057
In sports mode, the currently selected shift range is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN
CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red zone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shiftposition. On vehicles with a sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter, shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.NOTE
The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches the tachometer’s redzone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial). Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever tothe “R” or “P” position.
To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehiclespeeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per- form a downshift when the shift lever orsportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, abuzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place. In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st position is auto-matically selected.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-57
5
N00560800027
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector leverposition and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the enginerunning, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmly depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the airconditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times.Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).Type 1 Type 2
Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre- mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or sport mode} or coast forward in the “R”(REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary.This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
CAUTION
NOTE
In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-61
5
When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” position at low speed, a slight differ- ence in steering may be experienced similarto feeling as if the brakes were applied. This
is called tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon is typical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If thisoccurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO” conditions, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi- cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim- its to the system and ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructio
ns and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.NOTE
Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and servicehas been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condition of the tires, and check the tire pres-sures. Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.
Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you. The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt. After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection and maintenance following rough road opera-tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” position to drive on dry paved roadwill increase fuel consumption, with possible noise generation.
Turning sharp corners
NOTE
On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
The use of snow tires is recommended. Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
