in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
● Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of
your body’s static electricity by touching a metal
part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
● Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel
vapor could be ignited.
● Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-
way through the refueling process, you could pick
up a fresh charge of static electricity.
● Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
● Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get
into the cabin.

Guidelines for child restraint system selection
All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device
that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.
Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for
child size and age that may vary from the recommendations
listed below.
● Children less than 1 year old and children less than 20
pounds (9 kg) MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat
that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
● Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than
40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm)
tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the
rear seat.

● Do not manually close the top when there is a strong

NOTE 3
● The top cannot be opened by hand. If the top fails to open
by means of switch operation, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
● For manual closing of the electric convertible top, it is
advisable for two people to work together. In particular,
the task of folding up the top and extending it forward is
much easier for two people than for one. If no assistance
is available, you may find it easiest to position yourself on
the rear seat and lift up the electric convertible top by
grasping it at the center.
● When the top has been closed by hand, it can become
inoperable (neither openable nor closable) by means of
switch operation. After closing the top by hand, be sure to

● When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal vibrating and hear a unique sound. You
may also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down
firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in

field is disrupted.
In these cases, the correct direction will be displayed once
the vehicle returns to a place where the earth’s magnetic
field is stable.
• Vehicle in tunnels or parked in buildings
• Expressways, near railroads, underneath railroad cables,
or over subways
• Near transformer stations or high voltage power lines

account for this compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.
! CAUTION
● Adjust for compass variance when the vehicle is
safely parked.
Although the compass variance can be adjusted at 3
speeds of less than 2 mph (3 km/h), it should be
adjusted when the vehicle is safely parked.

NOTE
● The following table shows examples on how to calculate total cargo/load capacity of your vehicle with varying seating config-
urations and number and size of occupants. This table is for illustration purposes only and may not be accurate for the seating
and load capacity of your vehicle.
● For the following example the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).
● Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWR’s) for the front and rear axles must not be
exceeded. For further information on GAWR’s, vehicle loading, see the “Specifications” section of this manual.

To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer,
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends that you rotate
your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to
your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own
personal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear,
rotate your tires as soon as possible.
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel
alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire
pressure, wheels that are not aligned properly, wheels that are
out-of-balance, or severe braking.
Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice to find out the reason for uneven tread
wear.

replaced. Many states have laws requiring that you replace
your tires at this point.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread
7 grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to
1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
When the bands appear next to one another in two or more
places, replace your tires.
NOTE
● Tire wear indicators can have different marks and loca-
tions depending on the tire manufacturer.

Snow tires
N00940000362
Front In some areas of the country, snow tires are required for winter
driving. If snow tires are required in your area, you must
choose snow tires of the same size and type as the original tires
provided with your vehicle. Snow tires should also be installed
on all four wheels. Otherwise your safety and vehicle handling
can be reduced.
Even where laws may permit it, snow tires should not be oper-
ated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h).

● Change to tapered nuts when using snow tires with
steel wheels.
