Liftgate - Mitsubishi Mirage 2017 Owner's Manual

Child safety locks help prevent rear passen-
gers, especially children, from opening the
rear door using the inside door handle.
A lock lever for the child safety lock is pro-
vided on each rear door.
When the lever is in the lock position (1), the
rear door cannot be opened using the inside
door handle.
To open the rear door when the child safety
lock lever is in the lock position, pull the out-
side door handle.
When the lever is in the release position (2),
the child safety lock is released and the rear
door can be opened using the inside door han-
dle.
WARNING
 Always keep the doors tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked door
may be accidentally opened by a passen-
ger, especially by a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there
is a greater risk of someone being thrown
from the vehicle in an accident.

CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can
cause unconsciousness and even death.

make sure that there are no people nearby
and be careful not to hit your head or
pinch your hands, neck, etc.
CAUTION
 Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.
NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using
the power door lock switch, the keyless entry

locks and unlocks the liftgate. (if so
equipped)
