 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use s 
now tires. Tire chains 
cannot be used on your vehicle. There may be state or local regulations aboutusing snow tires. Al 
ways check the regu- 
lations in your local area before using them. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-22and “Tire chains” on page 9-23.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the brakes.  Allow extra distance
 between your vehi- 
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.  If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off the pedal. Steer gently in the direction of the skid. Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brake pedal down firmly and keep it depressed.Do not pump the brake pedal which will result in reduced braking performance.  After parking on snowy or icy roads, it may be difficult to move your vehicle due to the brake being frozen. Depress the accelerator pedal little by little to movethe vehicle when safe to do so. 
 Drive as slow as pos
sible when driving on 
bumpy, rutted roads or over potholes.

In the event of a collision causing frontal air-bag deployment, the fuel pump shut-off sys-tem will activate to st 
op fuel supply to the 
engine.
On snowy or icy roads 
CAUTION Do not depress the acce
lerator pedal rapidly. 
The vehicle could start moving when itbreaks free from the  
ice, possibly resulting in 
an accident.

CAUTION Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot- holes can damage th 
e tires and wheels. 
Wheels with low-profiles tires or under-inflated tires are especially at risk for dam- age.

We hope you will never be involved in an accident, but there is always that potential danger. So, please be sure to buckle up anddrive safely.   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 repair
 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 imitation parts that do not meet the original specifi- cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistanceor 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 passenger compartment. This important featur 
e is possible because 
high tensile steel is used in the panels and structural parts, something that cannot be guaranteed by the manufac 
turers of imitation 
parts. All Genuine  
body panels and support 
brackets are designed and constructed as important protection features in the event ofan accident. By replacing body parts with imitations, your vehicl 
e may no longer meet 
original equipmen 
t specifications.
