NOTE

● When leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the sunroof and remove the ignition key.

● Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed (after snowfall or during extreme cold).

● Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or roof opening edge.

● Do not apply any force that may cause damage to the sun- roof.

● Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a com- pletely open or completely closed position.

● If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is operated, release the switch and check whether something is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

● Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed. Depending on the model of ski carrier or roof carrier, the sunroof may contact the carrier when the sunroof is tilted up.

● Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.

● Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber) around the sunroof opening. If it is waxed, the weather- strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun- roof.

● After washing the vehicle or after it has rained, wipe off any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.

● Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned off will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof only while the engine is running.

WARNING! ● Do not stick your head, hands or anything else in the

sunroof opening.

Before operating the sunroof, make sure that noth-

ing can be trapped (head, hands, fingers, etc.).

Never leave a child (or other person who is incapa-

ble of safely operating the sunroof switch) alone in the vehicle.
