Parking sensors will alert the driver with an intermittent or continuous buzzer sound whenthe vehicle approaches an object and the sen- sor detects that object during parking. The system incorporates eight ultrasonic sensors(A) on the front and rear bumpers.Parking sensors (Front/Rear)
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the parking sensors, read this entire section to fully understand the limi-tations of this system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 The parking sensors are parking aid only. It is not a substitute for your visual confir- mation. The system is not designed to detect chil- dren, pedestrians, bicycles and pets. Thearea within which the system can detect is very limited, and ob
jects outside the
detection area, such as under the bumperor around either corner of the bumper, cannot be detected. The sensors of the sys- tem may not be able to detect certainobjects. Never rely solely on the parking sensors to clear the area in front and to the rear of your vehicle. Always check visually in front and to the rear of your vehicle forpersons, animals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so can result in damage toyour vehicle, serious injury or death.CAUTION The parking sensors may not operate prop- erly in a certain situation. Some examples are:• The sensors or surroundings have beenwiped by hand.• The stickers or accessories have beenattached to the sensors or surroundings.• The sensors or surroundings are coveredwith ice, snow, or mud.WA R N I N G
• When the ambient temperature has rapidly changed.• When the sensor is frozen.• When the system detects ultrasonic noise,such as the noise from motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashingwater or tire chains.• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(after the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).• When the vehicle is driven on a rough roadincluding a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassysurface.• When the vehicle is too close to an object.• Immediately after the engine switch isturned on.
 The parking sensors may not properly detect certain objects including;• A thin object such as a wire net or rope.• An object that absorbs ultrasonic sound waves, such as snow.• An object with sharp angles.• An object with a smooth surface, such as glass.• A low height object such as a curb. If the bumper has experienced an impact, the sensor area may have damage and the park- ing sensors may not function properly. Have the vehicle inspected at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.CAUTION

with the automatic transaxle in the “P” (PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.  If the warning display or warning display illuminates, refer to “Warning dis- play” on page 5-63.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t
downshift, prolonged or frequent applicationof the brakes can cause reduced braking effi- ciency and performance. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. How- ever, you may want to shift the selector leverto the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hilly conditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and
that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. Avoid parking on a hill with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. When the chocks or blocks are in place,release your brakes slowly until the chocks or blocks absorb the load. 4. Apply the parking brake firmly.5. Set the selector lever to the “P” (PARK)position and turn off the engine.
When restarting out after parking on a hill: 1. Check that the selector lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position. 2. Start the engine. Be sure to keep the brakepedal depressed. 3. Set the selector lever to the “D” (DRIVE) position or “R” (REVERSE) position.4. Release the parking brake and brake pedal and slowly pull or
back away from the
chocks or blocks. Stop and apply yourbrakes. 5. Have someone retrieve the chocks or blocks.

 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-18 and “Tire chains” on page 9-18.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on thebrakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking.  If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off thepedal. Steer gently in the direction of the skid.  Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brake pedal down firmly and keep it depressed. Do not pump the brake pedal which willresult in reduced braking performance.  After parking on snowy or icy roads, it may be difficult to move your vehicle dueto the brake being frozen. Depress the accelerator pedal little by little to move the vehicle when safe to do so.
 Drive as slow as poss
ible when driving on
bumpy, rutted roads or over potholes.

WA R N I N G When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and injure any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTION Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you could be seriously hurt by driving into flood water. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly several times while driving to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again. When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface(hydroplaning). This loosens your tires’ grip on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTION Do not depress the accelerator pedal rapidly. The vehicle could start moving when it breaks free from the ice, possibly resulting in an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot- holes can damage the tires and wheels. Wheels with low-profile tires or under- inflated tires are especially at risk for dam-age.

WA R N I N G Before attempting to restart the engine after a collision, always inspect the ground under the vehicle for leaking fuel. If a fuel leak is found or a fuel odor is detected, donot restart the engine.

We hope you will never be involved in an accident, but there is always that potentialdanger. So, please be sure to buckle up and drive safely.  Remain calm.  Check for injuries. Report all injuries to the police, and, if necessary, call for an ambulance.  Record all the details of the accident. This will provide you with accurate records of the accident for discussions with your insurance company and other personswho may be acting on your behalf.  Understand your repair estimate before approving repairs.  Choosing the repair
shop and the brands
of parts that they use on your vehicle isyour decision.
 Ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts. Many times, to save money, your insur- ance company will recommend imitation parts that do not meet the original specifi-cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship.
The strength and integrity built into your vehicle is the result of a specific design referred to as “Energy Management”. Indi-vidual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock waves are absorbed by protective panels or are chan-neled around the passenger compartment. This important feature is possible because high tensile steel is used in Mitsubishi panelsand structural parts, something that cannot be guaranteed by the manufacturers of imitation parts. All Genuine Mitsubishi body panelsand support brackets are designed and con- structed as important
protection features in
the event of an accident. By replacing bodyparts with imitations, your vehicle may no longer meet original equipment specifica- tions.
