N00520501856
This indicator is a part
of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or continu-ously variable transmission (CVT) control system. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this indicator illuminates orflashes. When the igniti
on switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indicator normally comes onand goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If this
indicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking sounds.)If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
CAUTION When the warning light remains on or does not come on, there is the possibility that the parking brake cannot be operated or released. Immediately contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Whenthe warning light comes on during driving, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer. If you inevitably have to park, park the vehicle on level and stable ground, shift the selector lever in “P” (PARK) positionand place chocks or blocks.
Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on may cause more dam- age to the emission control system. This could also affect fuel economy and drivabil-ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, have the system checked at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds. During vehicle operation with the indicator on, the vehicle may not accelerate when youdepress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stationary with the indi- cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with continuously variable transmission(CVT) has a stronger tendency to creep for- ward.NOTE
 Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICEENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) is on. The engine electronic control module storescritical OBD information (especially exhaust emission data), which may be lost if the bat- tery cable is disconnected while the enginemalfunction indicator is on. This will make it difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.CAUTION

Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However,avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designed primarily for use onpavement, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wh
eel drive vehicles are
less capable than 4-wheel drive vehicles for driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads. Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track, which enables them to perform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear-ance, these vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave-ment. They are not designed to maneuver or corner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel drive passenger cars anymore than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in amanner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-nificantly more likely to die than a personwearing a seat belt. Before starting the vehi- cle, always make certain that you and all your passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).

Fuel economy is dependent on many factors.Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your fuel consumption.Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate slowly and smoothly. When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off.  Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures.  When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on highways or dry improved roads, set thedrive mode to “AUTO”.  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air cleaner filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according to the recom-mendations in this manual.  Always keep your vehicle well main- tained. A poorly maintained enginewastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impairedeven with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak- ing a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doctor or

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, 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 and the liftgate 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. Checkthe instrument panel indicators and multi- information display for any possible prob- lem. Similarly, the front passenger seat should also be moved as far back as possible.  Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You shouldbe able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (wind-shield, door windows)” on page 7-13, 7-22. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven 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 heavily worn out.As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you needto find out why immediately and have itfixed.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the followingareas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

 Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400445
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop because more power isused for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the 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-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubricationpoints.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine overheating, addMitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent. Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter-vals 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 brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay close attention to surrounding vehicles and to thecondition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving onsteep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.
