E00609901240
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl When loading luggage, be careful to the
following. •Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage
compartment whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not
to be unbalanced in weight of a load.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the
instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seats.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury.Trailer towing E00610000488
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.CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE
l If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
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.

Item 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8: at kerb weight
NOTE l The value of item 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 is applicable
to unladen vehicles. This value can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional
equipment and suspension conditions.
l The value of item 9 can also be varied depend-
ing on the tyre size, optional equipment and
suspension conditions.
Operating hints l Do not let the clutch slip and do not increase
the engine speed more than necessary when
starting.
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 gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption.

Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.
