tion areas
Depending  on  whether  the  vehicle  is  equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing  sensor  system  between  the  standard
mode  and  the  towing  bar  mode.  The  towing bar  mode  changes  the  system  to  exclude  the
area in which the towing bar is mounted from the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The  detection  areas  are  within  approximately
60  cm  (A)  from  the  corner  sensors,  125  cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The  detection  areas  are  within  approximately 60  cm  (A)  from  the  corner  sensors,  125  cm
(B) from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C) are within approximately 20 cm (D)
from the bumper.
NOTEl The  sensors  do  not  detect  objects  located  in
the  area  directly  below  or  near  the  bumper. If  the  height  of  an  object  is  lower  than  the
mounted  position  of  the  corner  or  back  sen-
sors,  the  sensors  may  not  continue  detecting it even if they detected it initially.

CAUTIONlAs  your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  the  rain
sensor,  place  the  wiper  switch  lever  in  the“OFF”  position  to  deactivate  the  rain  sensor
before  washing  the  vehicle.  Otherwise,  the wipers  will  operate  in  the  presence  of  waterspray  on  the  windscreen  and  may  get  dam-
aged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its  brushes  may  scratch  the  paint  surface,
causing  it  to  lose  its  gloss.  Scratches  will  be
especially  visible  on  darker  coloured  vehi-
cles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do- ing  so  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the
Plug-in Hybrid EV system startability.
Exercise  caution  also  when  washing  the  un-
derbody;  be  careful  not  to  spray  water  into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply  high  pressure  and  heat  to  the  vehicle. They  may  cause  heat  distortion  and  damage
to  the  vehicle  resin  parts  and  may  result  in flooding of the vehicle interior.
Therefore:
• Maintain  a  distance  of  approx.  70  cm  or
more  between  the  vehicle  body  and  the washing nozzle.
• When  washing  around  the  door  glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.CAUTIONl After  washing  the  vehicle,  drive  the  vehicle
slowly  while  lightly  depressing  the  brake
pedal  several  times  in  order  to  dry  out  the
brakes.
Leaving  the  brakes  wet  could  result  in  re- duced  braking  performance.  Also,  there  is  a possibility  that  they  could  freeze  up  or  be-
come  inoperative  due  to  rust,  rendering  the vehicle unable to move.
l When  using  an  automatic  car  wash,  pay  at-
tention  to  the  following  items,  referring  to the  operation  manual  or  consulting  a  car
wash  operator.  If  the  following  procedure  is not  followed,  it  could  result  in  damage  to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The  wiper  arms  are  secured  in  place  with
tape.
• As  your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  roof
rails,  consult  a  car  wash  operator  before using a car wash.
• As  your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  the  rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen-
sor.
• Make  sure  that  the  charging  lid  and  the
fuel lid are completely closed.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the Ultra-
sonic  misacceleration  Mitigation  System,
turn  the  system  off  by  using  “FCM  and
Ultrasonic  misacceleration  Mitigation System ON/OFF switch” on page 7-69.During cold weather
Salt  and  other  chemicals  spread  on  the  roads
in  some  areas  in  winter  can  have  a  harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore  wash  the  vehicle  as  often  as  possible  in accordance  with  our  care-instructions.  It  is
recommended  to  have  a  preservative  applied
and  the  underfloor  protection  checked  before and after the cold weather season.
After  washing  your  vehicle,  wipe  off  all  wa- terdrops  from  the  rubber  parts  around  the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To  prevent  freezing  of  the  weatherstripping
on  the  doors,  bonnet,  etc.,  they  should  be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000919
Waxing  the  vehicle  will  help  prevent  the  ad-
herence  of  dust  and  road  chemicals  to  the paintwork.  Apply  a  wax  solution  after  wash- ing  the  vehicle,  or  at  least  once  every  three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do  not  wax  your  vehicle  in  direct  sunlight.
You  should  wax  after  the  surfaces  have
cooled.
For  information  on  how  to  use  wax  refer  to the instruction manual of the wax.

1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check  the  tyres  for  cuts,  cracks  and  other damage.  Replace  the  tyres  if  there  are  deep
cuts  or  cracks.  Also  check  each  tyre  for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The  use  of  worn  tyres  can  be  very  dangerous
because  of  the  greater  chance  of  skidding  or
hydroplaning.  The  tread  depth  of  the  tyres
must  exceed  1.6  mm  in  order  for  the  tyres  to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread  wear  indicators  will  appear  on  the  sur-
face  of  the  tyre  as  the  tyre  wears,  thereby  in-
dicating  that  the  tyre  no  longer  meets  the
minimum  requirement  for  use.  When  these wear  indicators  appear,  the  tyres  must  be  re-
placed with new ones.
When  replacement  of  any  of  the  tyres  is  nec-
essary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always  use  tyres  of  the  same  size,  same
type,  and  same  brand,  and  which  have  no wear  differences.  Using  tyres  of  differentsize,  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  tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201761
CAUTIONl Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed  and  the  combined  use  of  different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer  to  “Tyres  and  wheels”  on  page
12-08.
l Even  if  a  wheel  has  the  same  rim  size  and
offset  as  the  specified  type  of  wheel,  its
shape  may  prevent  it  from  being  fitted  cor- rectly.  We  recommend  you  to  consult  a  spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.CAUTIONl As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure  monitoring  system,  only  MITSUBISHI
Motors   genuine  wheels  should  be  used.  Use
of  another  type  of  wheel  risks  air  leaks  and
sensor  damage,  as  it  will  not  be  possible  to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer  to  “Tyre  pressure  monitoring  system
(TPMS)” on page 7-89.NOTEl 16  inch  steel  wheels  cannot  be  used  on  your
vehicle  because  they  interfer  with  brake
parts.  Additionally,  16  inch  aluminium wheels  may  not  be  used  on  your  vehicle  de-
pending  on  there  type,  even  in  case  of MITSUBISHI MOTORS Genuine wheels.
Consult  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized  Service  Point  before  using  wheels  that you have.Tyre rotation
E01001902516
Tyre  wear  varies  with  vehicle  conditions,
road  surface  conditions  and  individual  driv- er’s  driving  habits.  To  equalize  the  wear  andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate  the  tyres  immediately  after  discovery  of
abnormal  wear,  or  whenever  the  wear  differ- ence  between  the  front  and  rear  tyres  is  rec-
ognizable.
