Economical drivingE00600102624
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked 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 as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Accelerating and decelerating
Drive according to the traffic conditions andavoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration and
sudden braking, as they will increase fuel
consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode
(4WD vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to “2WD” when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible fuel
economy.
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 shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-
sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal willsave a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al-
so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase 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.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.

Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles E00606802085
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the 4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve-
hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between
tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-15.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.
CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of different
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in- crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec-
ted to excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Towing
CAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNINGl Do not crank the engine while the vehicle
is jacked up.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.Braking
E00607001784
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.

• Use only
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
UINE parts when replacing the wind- screen wipers.Tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS)* E00637100279
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The base tyre pressure can be set at desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*
6-71OGAE18E1Starting and driving6

The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two
sets of tyres can be registered by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by
the multi-information meter switch (It’s ben- eficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)WARNINGl The spare wheel does not have a tyre in-
flation pressure sensor.
When the spare tyre is used, the tyre pres- sure monitoring system will not work
properly.
See a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible to replace or repair the original tyre.NOTEl The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularlychecking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures as described in “Tyres” on page 10-13.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.
• On vehicles with Type 1 sensor which has
the metallic air valve (C), replace grom- met and washer (D) with a new one when
the tyre is replaced.
• On vehicles with Type 2 sensor which has
the rubber air valve (E), replace rubber air valve (E) with a new one when the tyre is
replaced.
For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.NOTEThe tyre pressure monitoring
system warning lamp/display
E00637200111
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, the tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp normally illuminates and goes
off a few seconds later.

6-72OGAE18E1Starting and driving6 Type 1 Type 2

NOTEType 1Type 2
Each tyre, including the spare (if so equip-
ped), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehiclehas tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre inflationpressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the tyre pressure moni- toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre
to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re- sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a warning lamp to indicate when the system is
not operating properly.
The warning lamp is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one mi- nute and then remain continuously illumina- ted. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the warning lamp is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace- ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-cle that prevent the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) from functioning properly.
Always check the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or al- ternate tyres and wheels allow the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) to continue to function properly.If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving
E00637300037
1. If the warning lamp illuminates, avoid
hard braking, sharp steering manoeuvres
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tyres to the proper inflationpressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 10-13
NOTEl In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.

NOTElWhen inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.
l After inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, always reinstall the valve cap on the valve stem.
Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to the tyre inflation pressure sensor.
l Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tyre inflation pressure sensors.
l Once adjustments have been made, the
warning lamp will go off after a few minutes of driving.
2. If the warning lamp remains illuminated
after you have been driving for about 10
minutes after you adjust the tyre infla- tion pressure, one or more of the tyresmay have a puncture. Inspect the tyreand if it has a puncture, have it repaired
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible.
WARNINGl If the warning lamp/display illuminates
while you are driving, avoid hard brak- ing, sharp steering manoeuvres and high speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tyre ad-
versely affects vehicle performance and
can result in an accident.CAUTIONl The warning lamp/display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow- out or rapid leak.NOTEl To avoid the risk of damage to the tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any punctured
tyre repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. If the tyre repair is
not done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point, damage to the tyre
inflation pressure sensor is not covered by your warranty.
l Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray
on any tyre.
Such a spray could damage the tyre inflation
pressure sensors.
Have any puncture repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
tyre inflation pressure sensor. The vehiclemust promptly be inspected and repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
l A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.
l Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders
and/or on the wheels.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor’s bat-
tery is dead.
l Wheels other than
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels are being
used.
l Wheels that are not fitted with tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.
l Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
l A window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.

NOTElTyre inflation pressures vary with the ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambient temperature, the tyre inflation pressures may be low (causing
the warning lamp/display to come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning lamp/display comes on, adjustthe tyre inflation pressure.Whenever the tyres and wheels
are replaced with new ones
E00637400025
If new wheels with new tyre inflation pres- sure sensors are installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tyre pressure moni- toring system. Have tyre and wheel replace-
ment performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to avoid
the risk of damaging the tyre inflation pres- sure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not
done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTIONl The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent
the proper fit of the tyre inflation pressure sensors, resulting air leakage or damage of
the sensors.Reset of low tyre pressure

inflate the tyre to the specified pressure. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-13.)CAUTIONl The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.
l The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect itto any other power source.
l The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.
l Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do not place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it.
l Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by loosening the hose’s end
fitting.
