 Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is fro-
zen closed (after snowfall or during extreme
cold).
 Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the
sunroof or roof opening edge.
 Do not apply any force that may cause dam-
age to the sunroof.
 Release the switch when the sunroof has
reached a completely open or completely
closed position.
 If the sunroof does not operate when the sun-
roof switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

carrier or a roof carrier is installed. Depend-
ing on the model of ski carrier or roof carrier,

sunroof is tilted up.
CAUTION
 Be sure to close the sunroof completely
when washing the vehicle or when leaving
the vehicle.
 Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip
(black rubber) around the sunroof opening. If
it is waxed, the weatherstrip cannot maintain
a weatherproof seal with the sunroof.
 After washing the vehicle or after rain be
sure to wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
 Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the
engine turned off will run down the battery.
Operate the sunroof only while the engine is
running.
