Roof carrier mounting brackets*When installing the roof carri
er, use the brackets (A). The
brackets (A) are located under
each roof drip moulding (B).
NOTE●
We recommend you to use a genuine MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brackets to be
used have a special shape.
For details, we recommend you to consult a MITSU- BISHI MOTORS Author
ized Service Point.
Roof carrier precaution
3-door models 5-door models
CAUTION
!●
Make sure that the weight of the luggage does not exceed the allowable roof load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.The roof load is the total allowable load on the roof (the weight of the roof ca
rrier plus the weight of lug-
gage placed on the roof carrier).For specific figures, plea
se refer to “Maximum roof
load” on page 9-7.
●
When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly and avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sudden braking or quick turn- ing.In addition, place the lugg
age on the carrier so that
its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that arewider than the roof carrier. The additional weight on
the roof could raise the
vehicle’s centre of gravity
and affect vehicle han-
dling characteristics. As a result, driving errors or emergency manoeu- vres could lead to a loss of control and result in anaccident.
●
Before driving and after tr
avelling a short distance,
always check the load to make
sure it is securely fas-
tened to the roof carrier. Check periodically during
your travel that the load
remains secure.

To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel economy, remove the roof carrier when not in use.
●
Before using an automatic car wash, remove the roof car- rier.

Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising the sunroof (if so equipped) wh
en installing a roof carrier.
Trailer towing
E00610000039
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regula-tions in each area.
CAUTION
!●
Danger of Accident! A towing bar should be
fitted according to MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. When you are going to tow a trailer, move the trans-fer shift lever to “4H” position. Selecting the “2H” drive ma
y increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, result
ing in possible damage to
the driving system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, componentseizure, or other serious faults.

Maximum towable weight with brake and maxi- mum trailer-nose weightNever exceed the maximum towabl
e weight with brake and the
maximum trailer-nose weight as
listed in the specifications.
(Refer to “Vehicle weight” on page 9-7.)If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than 1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combina- tion weight for every increase
of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specificationsSee the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

Operating hints●
Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/T only) and do not increase the engine speed more than necessarywhen starting.
●
Be sure that the driving speed does not exceed the 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations
in case driving speed with a tr
ailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
●
To prevent shocks from the
overrun brake, depress the
brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
●
To make full use of engine braking, change to a lower gear before descending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with an A/TThe 2nd gear (in “Sports mode”)
is recommended on slopes or
at low speed. Use the 1st gear (i
n “Sports mode”) in mountain-
ous areas in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However,
be sure that the speed does
not exceed the maximum speed
limit for the selected gear.
