If a hand or head is trapped, for safety the door window is automati
cally lowered a little.
After the door window is lowered, clear the obstruction, then pull up the switch again toclose the door window.

Wind buffeting can be de
scribed as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a booming or rumbling sound. Your
vehicle may exhibit
wind buffeting when driving with one or bothrear door windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
WA R N I N G Before driving with a child in the vehicle, be sure to lock the window switch to makeit inoperative. Children tampering withthe switch could easily trap their hands or heads in the window.
Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window)
WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There- fore be especially careful that fingers are nottrapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately tr
ap your hands or head
in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by trapped hand or head.  If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times in a row, the safety mechanismwill be cancelled a
nd the door window will
not close correctly. In such a case, the following procedureshould be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window sw
itch until that win-
dow has been fully cl
osed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for atleast1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate
in the normal fashion.
CAUTION
If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the
safety mechanism will
be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically open/close completely. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully cl
osed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch onceagain and hold it in this
condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’s door window inthe normal fashion.

Active stability control (ASC) 5-52 Features and controls

If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on. Under normal conditions, the warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has started.

The Active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the anti-lock braking sys- tem, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain
the vehicle’s control
and traction. Please read

junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-ing system, traction c
ontrol function and skid
control function. Anti-lock braking system

Electric power steering system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light appears while the engine is running, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice as soon as pos-
sible. It may become ha
rder to turn the steer-
ing wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on
your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operating sound or vibration may be emitted from under the body in the followingsituations. The sound or vibration is associ- ated with checking th
e operations of the
ASC. At this time,
you may feel a shock
from under the body and the brake pedal if you depress it. These do
not indicate a mal-
function. • When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put
in ON. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment. This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of thetire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one- half (1
1/2) times as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditionsof their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, servicepractices and differences in road characteristic
s and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on speci- fied government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor-mance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tempera- ture can cause the material of the tireto degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C cor-responds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required bylaw.

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. The wrongtire pressure will cause problems in three major areas:SafetyToo little pressure increases flex- ing in the tire and can cause tirefailure. Too much pressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the
road and potholes could then cause tire damage that may result in tire failure.Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven wear patterns in the tiretread. These abnormal wear pat- terns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to be replacedsooner.Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.

Remain calm.  Check for injuries. Report all injuries to the police, and, if necessary, call for an ambulance. Record all the details of the accident. This will provide you with accurate records of the accident for discussions with yourinsurance company and other persons who may be acting on your behalf.  Understand your repa
ir estimate before
approving repairs. Choosing the repair shop and the brands of parts that they use on your vehicle is your decision. Ask for genuine Mits
ubishi Motors parts.
Many times, to save
money, your insur-
ance company will recommend imitationparts that do not meet the original specifi- cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship.
The strength and integrity built into your vehicle is the result of a specific designreferred to as “Ener
gy Management”. Indi-
vidual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock wavesare absorbed by protective panels or are chan- neled around the pass
enger compartment.
This important featur
e is possible because
high tensile steel is used
in panels and struc-
tural parts, something
that cannot be guaran-
teed by the manufacturers of imitation parts. All Genuine Mitsubishi Motors body panels and support brackets
are designed and con-
structed as important protection features in the event of an accident. By replacing body parts with non-Genuine Mitsubishi Motorsparts, your vehicle may no longer meet origi- nal equipment specifications. As a consumer reque
sting repair on your
vehicle, you have cons
umer rights. Across the
country, State Insuranc
e Commissioners have
begun considering rules on the use of non- OEM parts. This could
mean that repair shops
will have to disclose to the consumer when they intend to use non-O
EM parts. Since reg-
ulations are not cons
istent on this point,
remember you have a choice. So, if you want genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts, you mayhave to specifically
request them. Make cer-
tain your insurance company understands imitations are not to be used in the repair ofyour vehicle. You deserve the best genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts. Genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts are built with the high quality a
nd durability standards
you expect. Genuine Mitsubishi Motors replacements parts are your guarantee thatyour vehicle will have
all the technological
advantages and maintain
the style and protec-
tion of a brand new Mitsubishi Motors.Remember to ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts.
