NOTE
 Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Che
ck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD information (especially exhaustemission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.
Charging system warning light

during vehicle opera-
tion, it indicates that
the engine is possibly
overheating. Continue
d driving could make
the engine fail. Immedi
ately stop the vehicle
in a safe place and ta
ke appropriate action.
(Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.)NOTE
 The high coolant temp
erature warning light
may illuminate when

, your garage door
or gate may open or close. Make sure thatpeople and objects are clear of the garagedoor or gate that you are programming.NOTE
 Once HomeLink
® is programmed, retain the
original transmitter for future programming procedures (for example, new vehicle pur-chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro- grammed HomeLink
® buttons should be
erased for security purposes. Refer to “Cleaning the programmed information” on page 5-90.  You can program a ma
ximum of 3 devices.
To change or replace any of the 3 devicesafter it has been in
itially programmed, you

N00629001770
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:
 Before starting the ve
hicle, make certain
that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors are locked.  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 shouldbe able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-6, 7-10, 7-17.
NOTE
 The shape of the mat and the number of retaining clips may
vary depending on the
vehicle model.WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference with the 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 interferewith 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 a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat is properly 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 notinterfering with the pedals by depressingthe pedals fully.

 Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normaland shifting will get ea
sier as the transaxle
warms up.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine

All parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice at regular intervals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake drums, and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or throughlarge puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brakepedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brak
es less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take
advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
N00629601372
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down- hill slope, into the 1st position when parking on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before
moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the
