Vehicle preparation before driving
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the follow- ing: Seat belts and seats
● Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and the rear hatch are locked.
● Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still keeping good visibility, and good control of the steer- ing wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the instrument panel indicators for any possible problem.
● Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible. ● Make sure that infants and small children are properly
restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations. Floor mat
Always properly position floor mat and assure it does not inter- fere with operation of the pedals. Always use retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the Mitsubishi genuine floor mat. When used, this clip will help prevent the floor mat from moving forward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals. To prevent the floor mat from moving forward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishi genuine floor mats are recommended.
WARNING! ● Always properly position floor mat and assure it
does not interfere with operation of the pedals.
● Always use retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard
to secure the Mitsubishi genuine floor mat.
● Always install the mat with the correct side facing
down.
● Never install a second mat over an existing floor
mat.

Driving safety
Defrosters
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. (Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the windshield and door windows” on page 5-12, 5-20.) Tires
Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear pat- terns. 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 pressures. Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out. As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, therefore, be performed only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Lights
Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Fluid leaks
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 immediately and have it fixed.
