• A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuousbends, elevated median
/island, traffic signs,
roadside trees.• Your vehicle passes
an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.• Another vehicle crosse
s ahead of your vehi-
cle.
The headlights may remain at low beam (orbe switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object (e.g. street light,traffic signal, notic
eboard and signboard)
reflects light. Any of the following
factors may influence
the headlight beam switching timing:• How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle il
luminate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in frontor oncoming vehicle.• Only right or left exte
rior light of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle is illuminat-
ing.• A vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is a
motorcycle.• Road conditions (gradient, bends and roadsurface).• The number of occupants and luggage load.The automatic high beam system recognisesenvironmental conditi
ons by sensing a light
source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, youmay feel like someth
ing is not quite right
when the headlight beams are switched auto-matically.NOTE
The system may not de
tect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.The system may not detect an ambientbrightness precisely. Th
is causes the traffic
to be dazzled by high beam or the low beamto be maintained. In such cases, you shouldswitch the headlight beams manually.• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow orsandstorm).• The windshield is
dirty or fogged up.
• The windshield is cracked or broken.• The sensor is deformed or dirty.• A light, which is similar to the headlights ortail lights, is shin
ing around your vehicle.
• A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights,
the exterior lights are
dirty or discoloured, or the direction of theheadlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly andcontinuously around your vehicle.• Your vehicle is driv
en on uneven surfaces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.• A reflective object su
ch as a noticeboard or
a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehi-cle.• When lights of the vehi
cle in front or head-

mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) afterseveral seconds of tr
ansmission - which may
not be long enough for HomeLink
® to pick
up the signal during programming. Similar tothis Canadian law, some U.S. gate operatorsare designed to “time-
out” in the same man-
ner.The indicator LED on the hand-held transmit-ter will go off when the device times out indi-cating that it has fi
nished transmitting.

N00629001709
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, alwayscheck for the following:Before starting the vehicle, make certainthat you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors and theliftgate are locked.
Move the driver’s seat as far backward aspossible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator, and controls. Checkthe 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 childrenare properly restrained in accordance withall laws and
regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode,and set the blower swit
ch 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 7-12Check all the tires for heavy tread wear oruneven 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.
Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out.As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tirereplacement should, onl
y, be performed by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Have someone watch wh
ile you turn all the
exterior lights on and off. Also check the turnsignal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel.Check the ground under the vehicle afterparking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

you give extra attention to the followingareas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic,road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.Before changing lanes, check your mir-rors, blind spots, a
nd use your turn-signal
light.While driving, watch the behavior ofother drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such assudden braking.If you plan to drive in another country,obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.

Check the battery. At the same time,check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery willnot be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally.Charge or replace the battery if necessary.During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.Warm the engine sufficiently. After start-ing the engine, allow a short warm-uptime to distribute oil to all cylinders. Thendrive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that thetransaxle, transfer case and rear axle oilhave time to spread to all lubricationpoints.Check the engine antifreeze.If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long LifeCoolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-8.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15

You’ll need more passing distance up aheadwhen you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to gomuch farther beyond the passed vehiclebefore you can return to your lane.Hold the bottom of the steering wheel withone hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left,just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to theright. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.When you’re turning with a trailer, makewider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signalwell in advance.Towing a trailer puts additional burden on theengine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating:When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at alower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately aftertowing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground)with the automatic transaxle in the “P”turning the engine off.
If the engine coolant temperature indica-tor flashes on the information screen inthe multi-information display or theengine power drops suddenly, refer to“Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
If the warning display or warningdisplay illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-70, 5-78.
Reduce speed and downshift before you startdown a long or steep downgrade. If you don’tdownshift, over using the brakes can causereduced brake efficiency.You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. Youmay want to shift the selector lever to the 3rdor a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions.Always place chocks or blocks under both thevehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set andthat the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so onlyafter performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTIONMaking sharp turns while towing a trailercould cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow-ing a trailer.
