3 4-wheel drive operation
N00530600143
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement.
But its unique 4 -wheel drive system allows you to occasion-
ally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and
similar locations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads
but also permits better traction when driving on slippery, wet or
snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or towing in rough
conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-wheel drive may not
give sufficient hill climbing ability and engine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud
and when driving through water because sufficient traction
may not be available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires
may get stuck in deep sand or mud.
NOTE
Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before
you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled mainte-
nance and service has been done, and that you have
inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi-
tion of the tires, and check the tire pressures.
Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for
any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by
improper and negligent operation of a vehicle. All tech-
niques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experi-
ence of the operator and other participating parties. Any
deviation from the recommended operating instructions
above is at their own risk.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehicles. Even
4-wheel drive vehicles have limits to the system and
ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless
driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road conditions.
Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pave-
ment can cause an accident or rollover in which you
and your passengers could be seriously injured or
killed. Follow all instructions and guidelines in the
owner’s manual.
Keep your speed low and do not drive faster than
conditions.

Average fuel consumption displayThis displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset
to the present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average fuel consumption dis-
play setting, refer to “Changing the function settings (With
ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-180.
The “ ” mark in the momentary fuel gauge shows the average
fuel consumption. (Type 2)
Manual reset mode
When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, these
calculations will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
from the “ACC” or “LOCK” position, the mode setting
changes automatically from manual to auto.
Auto reset mode
When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, these
calculations will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average
fuel consumption display will automatically reset.
NOTE
The average speed display and the average fuel consump-
tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.
“---” is displayed when the average fuel consumption can-
not be measured.
The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.
Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driv-
ing conditions (road conditions, how you drive, etc.) The
actual fuel consumption may differ from the fuel con-
sumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption dis-
played as just a rough guideline.
Disconnecting the battery cable will erase from memory
the manual reset mode or auto reset mode setting for the
average fuel consumption display.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg(US), mpg(UK), L/100km or km/L}.
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-180.
Momentary fuel consumption displayWhile driving, the momentary fuel consumption is shown with
a bar graph.
When the momentary fuel consumption surpasses the average
fuel consumption, the momentary fuel consumption is dis-
played with a green bar graph. (Type 2)
Be conscious of maintaining the momentary fuel consumption
above the average fuel consumption, it can help you drive with
the better fuel consumption.
