d release lever (see
illustration) is mounted on the trunk lid. The lever glows in the dark after exposure to sunlight. You and your family should familiarize your- selves with the locati
on and operation of the
emergency trunk lid re
lease lever. Children
should be taught not to play in or around vehicles.

cle, be sure to con-
firm that the trunk lid is closed. If the trunk lid opens while driving the vehicle, objectsstored in the trunk could fall out onto the road.

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 andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors arelocked.
Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping 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 fa
r back as possible.
Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selectin
g the defroster mode,
and set the blower switch 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 7-6, 7-10,7-17. 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.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increase
d stopping distances
resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle even if it is aMitsubishi genu
ine floor mat.
Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the fl
oor mat while clean-
ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always
check the condition
of the floor mat afte
r it has been rein-
stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with theengine off, check that
the floor mat is not
interfering with the pedals by depressing the pedals fully.
