NOTE
l It
is possible to set the display language of
the screen to English, Spanish, French, Ger-
man, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Danish or Por-
tuguese.
For details, please refer to the separate own-
er’s manual for “MITSUBISHI Multi Com-
munication System (MMCS)”.
l When the vehicle is tilting because of the num-
ber of people in the vehicle, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
l The lines in the view from the rear-view cam-
era are based on a level, flat road surface. Do
not use them as a guide for distances to solid
objects.
l Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no ab-
normality.
• Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the lightfrom a vehicle’s headlamps shines direct-
ly into the lens
→ When an extremely bright spot is
shown on the screen, colour smearing* (a
characteristic of CCD cameras) can occur.
*: Colour smearing: When an extremely
bright spot (for example, sunlight that has re-
flected off the bumper) is shown on the
screen, it appears to leave a vertical trail.
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction. l
It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-
nated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ignor-
ing them could lead to a camera malfunction.
• Do not subject the camera to physicalshock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
• Do not splash the camera with boiling wa- ter.
• Do not disassemble the camera. Cargo loads
E00609901383
Cargo loads precautions CAUTION
l
Do
not load cargo or luggage higher than
the top of the seatback. Be sure that your
cargo or luggage cannot move once your
vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vi-
sion blocked, and your cargo being
thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly
have to brake can cause a serious acci-
dent or injury.
l Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front
of the vehicle. If the load in the back of
the vehicle is too heavy, steering may be-
come unstable.
Loading a roof carrier CAUTION
l
Use
a roof carrier that properly fits your
vehicle. Do not load luggage directly onto
the roof. For installation, refer to the in-
struction manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
l When attaching/removing the roof carri-
er and loading/removing luggage, do not
apply excessive pressure on a single point.
Depending on how and where the force is
applied, this may cause dents on the vehi-
cle roof. Starting and driving

NOTE
l To
prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Remove the roof carrier before using an auto-
matic car wash.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the tailgate when installing
a roof carrier. Trailer towing
E00610000459
In
order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, have a
trailer towing device that meets all relevant regula-
tions in your area, mounted consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A

towing bar should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never
exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications.
(Refer to page 9-07.)
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 combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications

A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new
one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist. Note that a proper
repair is impossible following an emergency
repair if the puncture hole cannot be located.
l Wipe away any sealant that gets on the
wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with a
new one, the wheel can be reused.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained through im-
proper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage sus-
tained through re-use of any tyre in which
tyre sealant has been used. How to change a tyre
E00801202637
Before
changing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground,free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine and move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position and stop the en-
gine.

etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
NOTE l The warning triangle and flashing signal
lamp do not come with your vehicle. It is rec-
ommended that you keep one in the vehicle
for use if needed.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) in front of and behind the tyre that is di-
agonally opposite from the tyre (B) you are
changing. WARNING
l Be
sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE l The

chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
