Trailer towing 6-12 Driving safety

Recommendations for towing up to this limit are as follows.
The tongue weight of any trailer is important because it affects the vehicle capacity weight. The vehicle capacity weight includes anycargo you may carry, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If you will tow a trailer, you must include the tongue weight ofthe trailer in your calculation of the vehicle capacity weight. For more information regarding vehicle capacity weight, refer to“Tire and loading information placard” onpage 6-7. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight for your vehicle. After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper.Keep the trailer tongue load at 10 % of the loaded trailer weight for dead weight hitches. Tongue loads can be adjusted by proper dis-
tribution of the load in the trailer. This can be checked by separately weighing the loaded trailer and then the tongue. The GAWRs are printed on the certification label which is riveted on the door sill on the driver’s side.Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 11-2. Choose a proper hitch and ball, and make sure it is installed at a height that is compati-ble with the trailer. Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformly distributes the trailer tongue load throughoutthe frame.

WA R N I N G If you make any holes in the body of your vehicle for installing a trailer hitch, be sure to seal the holes later when you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can enter your
vehicle. Refer to
“Exhaust system” on page 9-22.

Driving safety 6-13

A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave suf- ficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to pre-vent the tongue from dropping to the ground in case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, consultyour authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN- UAL”. Especially important in traileroperation are automatic transaxle fluid, engine oil, rear axle oil, belt, cooling system and brake system. Each of these is covered inthis manual.For details, please refer to the “Vehicle care and maintenance” section. Check periodically to see that all hitch nutsand bolts are tight. Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total weight of 1,250 lb (567 kg) or more be equipped with its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric brakes, be sure they are electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat- ter how successful it may seem, any attemptto attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic system will lower braking effec- tiveness and create a potential hazard.
Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state, and local regulations.Check with your local recreational vehicle dealer for the requirements in your area, and use only equipment designed for your vehi-cle. Since lighting and wiring vary by trailer type and brand, you should have a qualified tech- nician install a suitable connector between the vehicle and the trailer. Improper equipment orinstallation can cause damage to your vehi- cle’s electrical system and affect your vehicle warranty. Many states and Canadian provinces require special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required, you should install spe- cial mirrors if you cannot clearly see behind you, or if the trailer creates a blind spot. Ask your trailer sales or rental agency if any other items are recommended or required for your towing situation.
NOTE
 Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used when
ever you are towing, to
improve towing stability. For further information, please contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTION Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the coupling unit or hitch ball experiences a problem, the trailer may separate from your vehicle.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the air conditioning system weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning in the best operating condition.

Important air conditioning operation tips
CAUTION The engine speed may increase when the air conditioning is operating. With increased engine speed, a CVT equipped vehicle will creep to a greaterdegree than with a lower engine speed. Fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen- dations
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf and the lubricant PAG46A. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage and may require replac-ing your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFO-1234yf in your vehicle is designed not to harm the earth’sozone layer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.
