CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system may not op-
erate properly under the following condi-
tions: • The sensors or surroundings are cov-ered with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other sources (the horns of other
vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes,
radios, pouring rain, splashing water,
tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long
period of time under a blazing sun or
in cold weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped by hand, or stickers or ac-
cessories have been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not prop-
erly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wirenets or ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerb- stones. NOTE
l The

buzzer may sound lower than the normal
warning sound when the reversing sensor sys-
tem is receiving ultrasonic noise from other
sources, but this is not a malfunction. The buz-
zer will stop sounding and the system will re-
turn to normal operation after the noise is no
longer received.

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. NOTE
l 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
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Roof carrier mounting brackets*
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A).
The brackets (A) are located under each cover (B). Attaching the roof carrier
Slide
each cover (B) towards the front of the vehi-
cle to remove it. Refitting the covers
1. With
each cover, put the tabs (C) on the cov-
er in the holes (D) in the roof.
2. Slide the cover (B) towards the rear of the ve- hicle to install it. Starting and driving

OGWE12E1

Roof carrier precaution
CAUTION
l
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 carrier
plus the weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maxi-
mum roof load” on page 9-07.
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and
avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the car-
rier so that its weight is distributed even-
ly with the heaviest items on the bottom.
Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof could
raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and af-
fect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
manoeuvres could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the
roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure. 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
E00610000534
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. Starting and driving

Operating hints l To prevent the clutch from slipping (Vehicle
with a M/T only), do not rev the engine more
than is required when starting off. l
Be
sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower shift point before descending a
slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
a CVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes or at
low speed.
Use the sports mode in mountainous 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 shift posi-
tion.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some me-
chanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat,
stop and check for a loose or broken water pump/
alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake
or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfacto-
ry the overheating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to be checked
at a competent service centre. Starting and driving
