 When driving on a road covered with
snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains
cannot be used on your vehicle. There
may be state or local regulations about
using snow tires. Always check the regu-
lations in your local area before using
them. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-18
and “Tire chains” on page 9-18.
 Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts
or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the
brakes.
 Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and
avoid sudden braking.
 If a skid occurs when the accelerator
pedal is depressed, take your foot off the
pedal. Steer gently in the direction of the
skid.

Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock
braking system (ABS). Hold the brake
pedal down firmly and keep it depressed.
Do not pump the brake pedal which will
result in reduced braking performance.
 After parking on snowy or icy roads, it
may be difficult to move your vehicle due
to the brake being frozen. Depress the
accelerator pedal little by little to move
the vehicle when safe to do so.
 Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy, rutted roads or over potholes etc.

In the event of a collision causing frontal air-
bag deployment, the fuel pump shut-off sys-
tem will activate to stop fuel supply to the
engine.
 When driving in rain, a layer of water may
form between the tires and the road surface
(hydroplaning). This loosens your tires’ grip
on the road, making it difficult to steer or
brake properly. When driving on a wet road:
• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.
• Do not drive on worn tires.
• Always keep the tires at the correct infla-
tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTION
CAUTION
 Do not depress the accelerator pedal rapidly.
The vehicle could start moving when it
breaks free from the ice, possibly resulting in
an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION
 Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot-
holes can damage the tires and wheels.
Wheels with low-profiles tires or under-
inflated tires are especially at risk for dam-
age.
 The vehicle’s body, bumper, muffler and
other parts may be damaged if the vehicle is:
• driven over a step (for example, at the
entrance or exit of a parking lot);
• parked too closely against a curb or parking
block, or by the side of a road with curb-
stones;
• driven on a steep slope.

WARNING

Before attempting to restart the engine
after a collision, always inspect the ground
under the vehicle for leaking fuel. If a fuel
leak is found or a fuel odor is detected, do
not restart the engine.

Mitsubishi Motors recommends that your
vehicle be inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer after any collision.
