To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the
weight of all vehicle
occupants from the vehi
cle capacity weight.
For additional information, if needed, refer to “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit” on page 6-8. DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing and Gross Axle Weight Rating numberslisted on the safety certification label (A) located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for pass
engers and/or cargo
weight.

Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and may cause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion. Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N G Weight placed on the
roof of the vehicle
will raise the vehicle’
s center of gravity
and adversely affect
its handling charac-
teristics. As a result, driving errors oremergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. Drive slowly and avoid excessive maneuverssuch as sudden brak
ing or quick turning.
Make sure that the
weight of luggage and
the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi-mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is ex
ceeded, this could
cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident. The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your r
oof load, must not
exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-3. Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof
carrier and the weight
of the luggage placed
on the roof carrier.
CAUTIONDo not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits your vehicle. For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distri
buted evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G

1. Lift up the floor board of the cargo area. 2. To remove the compact spare tire, remove the installation clamp (A) by turning itcounterclockwise.
NOTE
 The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicl
e. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keepthem in the vehicle for use if needed.  If chocks or blocks
are not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading informati
on placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3. Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While th
e compact spare tire is
being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function
properly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the compact spare tire. Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance between the ground and your vehicle.
 Because the compact spare tire is designed only for your vehicle, do not use it on anyother vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ- ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or other parts on yourvehicle. Do not use tire chains with your compact spare tire. Using a chain could cause damage to your vehicle and loss of the chains.

It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil betwee
n the recommended oil
change intervals. Before starting the engine,check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
To close
CAUTION Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when closing the engine hood. Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before driving.If you drive without the engine hood com- pletely closed, it c
ould open up while driv-
ing.
NOTE
 If this does not clos
e the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higherposition.  Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or whereyou push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.

The recommended inflation pressures under normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below. Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures changeseverely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed are always “cold inflation pressure”.Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving seve
ral miles, your tire
inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure.Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the
specified cold pressure, or your tires will be too low.Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower than the others, check the pressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety pre- cautions:  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.)  Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed. Drive at safe speeds.  After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and airleaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on the valve stems.

CAUTION Avoid using different size tires from the one listed and the combined use of different types of tires, as this can affect driving safety.Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5.
 If your vehicle is equippe
d with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, only MitsubishiMotors Genuine wheels should be used.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.
