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 and
wearing their seat belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate
restraints), and that all the doors and lift-
gate are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as
possible, while still keeping good visibil-
ity, and good control of the steering
wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls.
Check the instrument panel indicators and
multi-information display for any possible
problem.

In the same way, the front passenger seat
should also be moved as far back as possi-
ble.
 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 switch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against the
windshield.
Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-8, 7-13,
7-18.
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 equipped with a tire pres-
sure 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.
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.
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.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, and
your safest driving, cannot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, if
you give extra attention to the following
areas, you can better protect yourself and
your passengers:
 Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic,
road and weather conditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
