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.

Before changing lanes, check your mir-
rors and use your turn signal light.

While driving, keep a tight grip on the
steering wheel.

While driving, watch the behavior of
other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

Always obey applicable laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always
leave room for unexpected events, such as
sudden braking.

If you plan to drive in another country,
obey their vehicle registration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right
fuel.

 Check the battery, including terminals and
cables. During extremely cold weather,
the battery will not be as strong. Also, the
battery power level may drop because
more power is used for cold starting and
driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if
the engine runs at the proper speed and if
the headlights are as bright as normally.
Charge or replace the battery if necessary.
During extreme cold weather, it is possi-
ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start-
ing the engine, allow a short warm-up
time to distribute oil to all cylinders and
turbocharger. Then drive your vehicle
slowly.

WARNING
 The battery gives off explosive hydrogen
gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-
tery to explode, which could cause serious
injury or death.
Always wear protective clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, or
let a skilled mechanic do it.
