9 Vehicle Introduction and Safety Please read this section. Even if you do not read the entire manual, this section should be studied before operating the vehicle. Warning notes Check exterior of vehicle before driving. Do not carry flammable liquids or gas bottles in the vehicle, as this may cause a fire or explosion in the event of an accident. Make sure seat belt is adjusted and fastened for all passengers as well as the driver, before driving. For more information on the seat belts, see later in this manual. Do not run the engine in a confined area, as this will cause a build up of carbon monoxide, which is dangerous. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation if you do need to run the engine in a confined space. 9

10 Make that there is nothing loose that can interfere with the controls of the vehicle, such as cans or bottles. Make sure that any mats or covers do not interfere with the controls of the vehicle. Page 6? 2000cc? check translation. Do not try to turn the ignition switch off, while driving. This may cause serious damage to the engine. If you turn the key to ACC or LOCK position while driving you will lose the use of the power brakes and power steering, also the steering lock will engage. Also no warning lights will be illuminated. Do not put the seats in the reclined position, while the vehicle is moving. When reversing, make sure that the rear of the vehicle is clear of obstructions and children. 10

11 When travelling in wet or slippery conditions, use care when accelerating and braking. After driving through deep water (over 5 cm s deep) gently apply the brakes whilst moving to dry them. When travelling downhill, take extra care not to use the brakes too much. Excessive use can cause the fluid to boil and become ineffective. If possible use the engine brake to keep the speed at a steady pace. Page 7? Only use the right foot to operate automatic vehicle, don t operate left and right foot together for this could cause excessive wear on the brake pads. The vehicle will only start, when the gear lever is in park. The vehicle will only go into reverse, when the foot brake is operated. 11

12 When driving an automatic, only use the right foot to operate the accelerator and brake. When leaving the vehicle, leave the gear lever in park. Do not start the vehicle, if the exhaust is not clear. Always leave the ignition in lock, when sleeping? Tips when driving an automatic vehicle. Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission are easier to drive for there is no need for gear changes or clutch operation. But you must learn the techniques related to its use. 1. When the shift lever is in any position other than P or N, the vehicle may creep forward even when the accelerator is not pressed. 2. When stationary, even on level ground, apply the foot brake to prevent the vehicle moving. 3. If the air conditioner is operating the engine will be idling faster than normal and may cause the vehicle movement to be greater. 12

13 Make sure all children are securely fastened in the seat belts before moving. Do not allow children to lean out of the open windows. Make sure children are secure, before moving the vehicle. Help children when entering or leaving the vehicle. Always use genuine Mitsubishi spare parts.

52 Automatic air conditioning By simply pressing the AUTO button and selecting the desired temperature, the air conditioning operates to cool or warm automatically in order to maintain the selected temperature. Insert pictures showing sensors. CAUTION When using the air conditioning, the idling speed is slightly increased. Therefore, take extra care when starting to move the vehicle. Note: 1 - There is a photo sensor, atmospheric temperature sensor and an interior air temperature sensor inside the vehicle. 1. Photo sensor 2. Atmospheric temperature sensor 3. Interior air temperature sensor Never place anything on top or cover these sensors, doing so will prevent them from functioning properly. 2 A mist may be seen coming from the air outlets for a while during cooling. This is simply the result of humid air being suddenly cooled. 3 The temperature setting and the button selected air condition modes remain in memory even after the engine has been switched off. However, disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal will erase all those stored in memory and set the 52
