lCheck the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt assembly
if defective.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neu-
tral detergent in warm water. After rins-
ing in water, let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts
because this affects their characteristics.WARNINGl We recommend you have all seat belt as-
semblies including retractors and attach-
ing hardware inspected after any colli-
sion. We recommend that seat belt assem- blies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to op-
erate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace- ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re- tractor.

Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and your passengers have fastened your
seat belts.
Floor matsWARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out position, securely retain them using the hooks etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.
Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and children
inside the vehicle. Children may play with the driving controls and this could
lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection in case of an
accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the car-
go area. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is
moving.

CAUTIONlNever shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on aM/T , and should only be used when the vehi-
cle is stationary for an extended length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or
you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss
of control.
“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission automatically selects a suitable
gear ratio for your speed and acceleration.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position
from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the
vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.Sports mode
E00603901323
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A). To return to “D” range operation, gently push the selec-tor lever back into the main gate (B).

In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-
idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward. In contrast to a man- ual transmission, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.SHIFT UPSHIFT DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.

- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
CAUTIONl In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.

NOTElIt is recommended to start the vehicle with
parking brake partially, but not completely,applied by slightly pulling the parking brake
lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do not forget to release the parking brake.
l If it is necessary to drive in extremely mud-
dy conditions, the use of tyre chains is rec-
ommended. Because the extent of muddy conditions is difficult to judge and the vehi- cle could become bogged down very deeply,
operation should be at a low speed. If possi-
ble, get out of the vehicle and check the con- ditions ahead before proceeding.
l Driving over roads in coastal areas or roads
on which anti-skid preparations have been spread can cause rust on the vehicle; wash
the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible
after such use.
Climbing sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to “4L” position
(easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position (super
select 4WD) to maximize the engine torque.
WARNINGl Go straight up. Do not try to traverse
across a steep slope.WARNINGl If you begin to lose traction, ease off the
accelerator pedal and gently turn the
steering wheel alternatively left and right to regain adequate traction again.NOTEl Choose as smooth a slope as possible with
few stones or other obstacles.
l Before attempting to drive up the slope,
walk up it to confirm that the vehicle canhandle the grade.
Descending sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to “4L” position
(easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position (super
select 4WD), use the engine brake (down- shifting) and descend slowly.
WARNINGl Avoid snaking down a sharp grade. De-
scend the grade as straight as possible.NOTEl When descending a sharp grade, if the
brakes are applied suddenly because of an
obstacle encountered, control of the vehicle
could be lost. Before descending the slope,
walk down it and confirm the path.NOTEl Before descending a grade, it is necessary to
choose the appropriate gear. Avoid changing
gears or depressing the clutch while de-
scending the grade.

MOTORS is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and
negligent operation of a vehicle. All techni- ques of vehicle operation described herein depend on the skill and experience of the op- erator and other participating parties and any
deviation from the recommended operation
instructions above is at their own risk.
Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in “4H” or “4L”
position (easy select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super select 4WD) at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be
experienced similar to as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight corner braking and results from each of the 4 tyres being at a
different distance from the corner.
The phenomenon is peculiar to 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten the steering wheel, or change to rear-wheel drive.

Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the
very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the
brake system repaired.
WARNINGl Do not turn off the engine while your ve-
hicle is in motion. If you turn off the en-
gine while driving, the power assistance for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly, have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warning lamp
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-08.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake
discs or brake drums and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or through
large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed.
If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving
slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the en- gine braking by shifting to a lower shift posi-tion while driving on steep downhill roads in
order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
WARNINGl Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do-
ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency.Make sure that the pedal can be operatedfreely at all times. Make sure the floor
mat is securely held in place.Brake pads and linings
l Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km (124 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake pads have reached their wear limit.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced.
WARNINGl Driving with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent.Brake assist system*
E00627000392
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
