The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat position sensor is attachedto the seat rail and provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s fore-aftposition. The airbag control unit controls deployment of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receivesfrom this sensor. If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor, the SRS warning light inthe instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light” on page 4-27.

NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash si
tuation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driv-ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, a
nd crash location) are
recorded. However, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying
data routinely acquire
d during a crash inves-
tigation.

WA R N I N G If the SRS warning
light comes on, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possi-ble. Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the driver’s seat position sensor can operate correctly.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back
against the seatback.
Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-2.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary when driving.• Do not place metallic objects or luggageunder the front seat.
 If the vehicle is involved in a severe impact, have the SRS sensor inspected byan authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as
soon as possible.

WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploying side airb
ag, do not allow any
rear seat passengers to hold onto the back of either front seat.
Special care should be
taken with children. Do not place any objects around the area where the side airbags deploy. Such objects can interfere with proper side air- bag deployment, and
cause injury during
deployment of the side airbag. Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the back of either front seat. They can interfere with proper side airbag deployment.
WA R N I N G Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object around the part where thecurtain airbag deploys
, such as on the
windshield, side door
glass or front and
rear pillars and roof
side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates, the microphone orother object may be
hurled with great
force or the curtain airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting
in death or serious
injury.WA R N I N G Do not install seat c
overs or re-cover seats
that have side airbag
s. Covers can inter-
fere with proper si
de airbag deployment
and adversely affect
side airbag perfor-
mance.
 Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint systems MUSTONLY be used in the rear seat. Front-facing child restraint systems should also be used ON
LY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system must be used in the front passenger seat,move the seat as far
back as possible, and
make sure that the child stays in the child restraint system, properly restrained andaway from the door. Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head sh
ould also not lean
against or be close to the section of the seatback where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag are located. It is dangerous ifthe side airbag or cu
rtain airbag deploys.
Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious in
jury or death to the
child. Work done on or in th
e vicinity of the side
airbag or curtain
airbag components
should be done only
by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. There is a riskof a serious injury
or death. Improper
work methods can cause accidental side airbag or curtain ai
rbag deployment, or
render a side airb
ag or curtain airbag
inoperable. Either of these situations could result in seri
ous injury or death.

out. Also, do not touch the internal compo- nents.
Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof 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 outsiders from gaining access
to your vehicle when
you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a ch
ild 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.
When closing a door,
make sure that the
door is fully closed and the door-ajar warning display goes
out on the informa-
tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is aj
ar it could open while
driving and cause an accident.

WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked doormay be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, thereis a greater risk of
someone being thrown
from the vehicle
in an accident.
Trunk lid
WA R N I N GIt is dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open since carbon mo
noxide (CO) gas can
enter the cabin. CO is an invisible, odor- less gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death. Do not allow children to have access to the trunk by climbing into the trunk fromoutside of the vehicl
e. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. If trapped in the trunk, it is possible toescape from the trunk by using the inside emergency trunk re
lease lever. (See
“Inside emergency trunk lid release” onpage 5-28.)CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.

Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window of Type 1 only)
WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There- fore be especially careful that fingers are nottrapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately tr
ap your hands or head
in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d 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 a physical shock similar
to that caused by
trapped hand or head.  If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times in a row, the safety mechanismwill be cancelled a
nd the door window will
not close correctly. In such a case, the following procedureshould be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise thedriver’s door window sw
itch until that win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for atleast1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate in the normal fashion.CAUTION

or repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the engine
running and the vehicl
e stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especi
ally when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning (cooling or
heating) operating.
Do not release the brak
e 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 acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from the
