It might strike and injure an occupant if the air bag inflates. Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of the ‘windscreen. They could restrict air bag inflation, or strike and ‘injure an occupant if the air bags inflate. ‘Do not put packages, pets or ather objects between the alt ‘bags and the driver or front passenger, It could affect air bag performance, or could cause injury whenthe air bag inflates. Right after the air bag inflation, several air bag system ‘components will be hot. Do not touch them; you could be burned. ‘The SRS system is designed to work only once. After the air bags deploy, they will not work again, They must promptly be ‘replaced, and the entire SRS system inspected, by an authorized HM Mitsubishi dealer. Lyons SRS warning lamp There is a supplemental restraint system ("SRS") warning lamp on the instrument panel, The system checks itself and the lamp tells you if there When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” or “START”position, the warning lamp should illuminate for about 7 seconds and then should go out. This means the system i ready The airbags will operate only when the ignition switch isin the "ON" or “START” position.

The motor may burn out ifthe wipers are Used with the blades frozen to the glass Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the pump failure will occur. ically check the level of washer fluid in the reservoir and replenish it if itis low.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING For economical driving, there are some technical requirements that have to be met. The prerequisite for low fuel consumptionisa properly adjusted engine In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most economical ‘operation, have the vehicle serviced by an authorsed HM Mitsubishi dealer at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards. Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and noise are highly influenced by personal driving habits as well 3s the particular operating conditions. The following points should be observed in order to minimize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce environmental pollution, 1. Starting ‘Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden stars; such operation will result in higher fue! consumption 2. Shifting Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest gear possible. When driving at high speed over public raads, fuel economy can become poor and noise levels rise. The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H”. In addition, for vehicles equipped with free-wheeling hubs, the free-wheeling hubs should be disengaged. 3. City traffic Frequent starting and stopping increases the average fuel ‘consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. ‘When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high cnaine sped aIdling The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling. Avoid extended idling periods whenever possible. - Speed The higher the vehicle speed, the more fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full speed, Even a slight release ofthe accelerator pedal will savea significant amount of fuel, Tyee inflation pressure ‘Check the tye inflaton pressures at regular intervals. Low tyreinfiation pressure increases road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving control Load Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compartment. Especially during city diving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Cold engine starting Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel Consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible. TRAILER TOWING In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, have a trailer towing that meets al pertinent regulations in your area mounted at an auth HM Mitsubishi dealer ‘The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer may differ from a to county. Itis recommended that you obey the regulations in your area fy going to tow a tral, pay careful attention to the following point Maximum traler weight with brake, maximum trailer-nose Never exceed the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed il speeifications. (Refer to page 167) I you tow a trailer at an altitude of more that 1,000 m above seas reduce the maximum traller weight by 10% of the gross combi -weight for every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, because the ‘output is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric pressure.‘bar mounting specifications lowing table for fixing points (A) for the towingbar Taig wheal Base ven 1080 50 35 1162 or 1190 432 510 495 990 (em 7 at kerb welght Sveratiog tims Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a manual transmission only ‘and. do not increase the engine speed more than necessary when starting 2.

Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer than 10 seconds; doing so could drain the battery or damage the starter motor. If the engine does not stat, tun the ignition switch back to the "LOCK", wait a few minutes, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor stil turning wil damage the starter mechanism 2. Ifthe engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or dead, refer to the emergency starting section for instructions on starting the engine. 3. After starting the engine, do not keep the engine idling without driving. Only when atmospheric temperature is vey low, warm up the engine at a high iding speed A\ caution 1. When the engine is hard to start unless you depress the accelerator pedal, step on the accelerator pedal to start the engine, then move your foot to the brake pedal immediately. 2, Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up. 3. Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts to avoid damaging the starter motor. 4. Do not stop the engine immediately after operating the vehicles at high speeds. Allow the engine to idle for approximately 60 seconds or more to give the turbocharger a chance to cool oe a
