Economical drivingE00600101076
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts,
as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode
(4WD vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to
“2WD” when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible fuel
economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con- sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a
slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al-
so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.

Turbocharger
The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-
charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci-
fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system* E00627401133
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with- out operating the ignition switch or the en-gine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to re- duce exhaust gases and increase fuel efficien- cy.CAUTIONl If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion and press the engine switch to stop the
engine.NOTEl If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system does
not operate or it operates less frequently, the battery capacity may have decreased. Have
your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Automatically stopping the en-
gine
E00627501323
The AS&G system is automatically activated
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.
You can deactivate the system by pressing the “AS&G OFF” switch.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22. 1. Stop the vehicle.
While depressing the brake pedal, fullydepress the clutch pedal and place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.

Pay close attention to the tyres.l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-15.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different size, 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.TowingCAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicleWARNINGl Do not crank the engine while the vehicle
is jacked up.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.Braking
E00607001784
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.
CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.

Important operation tips forthe air conditioning E00708302274
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature at 5 to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructions
such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec- ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFO-1234yf (Except for vehicles for Russia,
Kazakhstan and Ukraine) or HFC-134a (Ve-
hicles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) and the lubricant PAG46A (Except for vehi-
cles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) or
SUN-PAG56 (Vehicles for Russia, Kazakh-
stan and Ukraine). Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioning in the best operating condition.
Air purifier
E00708400561
An air filter has been incorporated into the air conditioning so that pollen and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to reduction of
service life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the windscreen or windows start to fog up
easily, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.LW/MW/FM radio/CD
