• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small child
ren, from opening
doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from gaining access
to your vehicle when
you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alon
e in the vehicle. In
addition to the risk
of heat stroke, chil-
dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury
or fatal accident.
When closing a door,
make sure that the
door is fully closed and the door-ajar warning display goes out on the informa-tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is aj
ar it could open while
driving and caus
e an accident.

Child safety locks for rear door 1- To lock 2- To release
WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of
someone being thrown
from the vehicle in an accident.
Liftgate (except for vehicles equipped with the power liftgate)
WA R N I N G It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open since carbon mo
noxide (CO) gas con-
tained in engine exhaust gases can enter the passenger compartment.CO is an invisible,
odorless gas that can
cause unconsciousness and even death. When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure that there are no people nearby and be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.
 If snow or ice has ac
cumulated on the lift-
gate, remove it before
opening the liftgate.
Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly closedue to the weight of the snow or ice. When opening the lift
gate, always fully
open it. A partially opened liftgate can unexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgate may be greater or less than expected.The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to th
e liftgate, make sure
that area above and
behind the liftgate is
clear before opening it.NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-key operation (vehicles equipped with theF.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift- gate.WA R N I N G

WA R N I N G The luggage area was
not designed for
people to ride in. Do not let your children ride in or play in
the luggage area. Riding
or playing in the luggage area could result in a serious accide
nt and/or injury.
Before driving, make sure the power lift- gate is securely closed. If you drive with th
e power liftgate open,
exhaust gas may enter the vehicle and cause carbon monoxide poisoning. To avoid injury, the power liftgate should not be operated by children.
 When opening and cl

ust could cause burns.
Before driving, make sure the power liftgate is securely closed. If
the liftgate opens while
driving, objects stored in the luggage com-partment coul
d fall out into the road.
Do not install any accessory other than Mit- subishi Motors Genui
ne parts on the power
liftgate. The weight of the accessory may cause faulty operati
on of the liftgate.
Before closing the liftga
te, make sure there is
no foreign object around
the striker (A).
If a foreign object matter
gets into the striker,
it could prevent the pow
er liftgate from clos-
ing securely.WA R N I N G

 When pulling away from a standstill on a slippery road, pull the sportronic steeringwheel paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP)side to select 2nd gear
. Pull the sportronic
steering wheel paddle shifter on the
−
(SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to 1stgear.  When the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is operated with the selector lever in the “L” (LOW) position, gear is not shifted because the selectable shift range is limited.
Sports mode display

NOTE
NOTE
 While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” andshifting in sports mode may no longer bepossible. This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are operati
ng normally in order
to lower the temperature of the automatic transaxle fluid; it doe
s not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the auto-matic transaxle fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.
Operation of the automatic transaxle

CAUTION Before selecting a gear
with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle
stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
gear is engaged, espe
cially when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all times.Using the left foot c
ould cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
 To prevent sudden acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficiency and may cause pre- mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance
with driving condi-
tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE), “L” (LOW) position or sports mode} or coastforward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could
lead to an accident.
Do not rev the engine
with the brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.This can damage the transaxle. Also, when you depress
the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in th
e “D” (DRIVE) position,
the engine revolutions
may not rise as high
as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
