Break-in recommendations
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in period of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future performance and economy of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.
● Avoid revving the engine. ● Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking. These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low gear.
● Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity (See “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-12).
● Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.
Keys
Two keys are provided. The keys fit all locks. Keep one in a safe place as a spare key.
Features and controls
NOTE ● The key number (A) is stamped on the key number plate
as shown in the illustration. Make a record of the key number and store the key and key number plate in separate places, so that you can order a key from your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer if the original keys are lost.
● The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig- nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to prevent damage. • Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard. • Do not take the remote control transmitter apart. • Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts. • Keep the remote control transmitter dry. • Keep away from magnetic objects such as key holders. • Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions. • Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners. • Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity. ● As your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobi-
lizer, the engine is designed so that it will not start if the ID code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code do not match. Refer to the section entitled “Electronic immobilizer” for details and key usage.
