N00629001709
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 andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and theliftgate 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. Check the 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 children are properly restrained in accordance with all 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 7-13 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 equi
pped 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, 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 turn signal indicators and hi
gh-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 need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Parking 6-6 Driving safety

On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take
advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent thebrakes from overheating.
N00629601385
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from
the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.Be sure that the parki
ng brake is firmly set
when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake befo
re moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the transaxle. When this ha
ppens, it is difficult to
move the selector lever out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engine running while you take a short nap or rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti- lated place. Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.Be careful when traveling up or down steep slopes where your bumper can scrape the road.
Always carry the key and lock all doors and the liftgate when leaving the vehicle unat- tended. Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea. Move effort could be required to turn the steering wheel. Refer to “Electric power steering system(EPS)” on page 5-99.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15
6
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to gomuch farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left,just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Towing a trailer puts additional burden on the engine 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 a lower 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” (PARK) position for a few minutes beforeturning the engine off.
 If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-72, 5-79.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hilly conditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set and that 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 only after performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could 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.
Overheating Cause of overheating

N00836301230
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the hazard
lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.

If the operation mode
cannot be changed to
OFF, perform the following procedure. 1. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then change the operation mode to OFF. 2. One of the other causes could be low bat-tery voltage. If this occurs, the keyless entry system, the F.A.S.T.-key operation and the steering wheel lock (if soequipped) will also
not operate. Contact
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
