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.
