Press of the blower speed selection switch to increase the blower speed. Press of the blower speed selection switch to decrease the blower speed.The selected blower speed (A) will be shown in the display.
NOTE
 There is an interior air temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated position. Never place anything over the sensor, since doing so will prevent it from functioning properly.NOTE
 Since the air conditioning operation is con- trolled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the air conditioner is insufficient.Refer to “ECO mode switch” on page P.5-198.  Even during ECO mode operation, you can select normal operation of the air condi- tioner.On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone Link Display Audio, screen operations can be used to change the setting. Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.
 In extreme cold, the air conditioning control panel screen may operate sluggishly. This does not indicate a problem. It will disappear when the vehicle interior temperature rises to a normal temperature.NOTE

The following maintenance steps are recom- mended:  Check tire pressures regularly.  Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.
 Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-17.

Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to help you know when your tires should be replaced.Many states have laws requiring that you replace your tires at this point. These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places, replace your tires.
N00939901560
To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos- sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.
 Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
 On vehicles with Electric parking brake, 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on yourvehicle because they interfere with brake parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminum wheels maynot be used on your vehicle depending on the type, even if they are Mitsubishi Motors Genuine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer with specific questions on wheels that can be used on your vehicle.

In some areas of the country, snow tires are
required for winter driving. If snow tires are
required in your area, you must choose snow
tires of the same size and type as the original
tires provided with your vehicle. Snow tiresshould also be installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety and vehicle handling
can be reduced.
Even where laws may permit it, never exceed
the maximum speed rating of the tire.
N00940101139
CAUTION
A compact spare tire can be installed tempo-
rarily in place of a tire that has been removed
during the tire rotation. However, it must not
be included in the regular tire rotation
sequence.Tires that do not have arrows showing rotation
direction


If the tires have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tires on the left-hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear tires on the
right-hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tire on its original side of the
vehicle. When installing the tires, make sure
the arrows point in the direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-
ward. Any tire whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full
potential.Avoid the combined use of different types of
tires. Using different types of tires can affect
vehicle performance and safety.Snow tires

CAUTIONOnly Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels
should be used, because your vehicle is

tem.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.Tire chains
CAUTIONTire chains cannot be used on your vehicle.
The clearance between the chains and the
body is not sufficient to allow proper clear-
ance, and the vehicle body might be dam-
aged.

Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from air, rain, snow, or road sur-faces can damage the paint and body of your vehicle if left on. Frequent washing and waxing is the best wayto protect your vehicle from this damage. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it withwater to remove dust. Next, using plenty ofclean water and a car washing mitt or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a cham- ois or soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of thedoors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.
Salt and other chemicals
used on winter roads
in some geographical areas can have a detri- mental effect on the vehicle underbody. You should flush the underbody with a high pres-sure hose every time you wash the outside of your vehicle. Take special care to remove mud or otherdebris which could trap and hold salt and moisture. After washing your vehicle, wipe off allwaterdrops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Wa s h i n g
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-tect your hands. If your vehicle is equipped with the rain sen- sor, place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensorbefore washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of water spray on the windshield and may get dam-aged as a result.
 Never spray or splash water on the electrical parts in the engine compartment. This may damage them. Be careful also when washing the underbody to ensure that water does not enter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washes that use rotating brushes. These brushes may scratch the paintsurface and make it dull. Scratches are more noticeable on darker col- ored vehicles. Some hot water washing equipment uses high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.
Because hot water can damage plastic parts and seep inside your vehicle, make sure you do the following when using such equip-ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28 inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to the glass surface.
 Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from eitherthis manual or the car wash operator, to avoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside rearview mirrors.• Close the door windows.• Close the front sunroof (if so equipped)• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem- bly.CAUTION
• As your vehicle is equipped with the roof spoiler and the rear spoiler, check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with roof rails,check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with the rainsensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen- sor.
