NOTElThis indicator will also turn on for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the operation mode put in ON.If the indication lamp blinks
while driving

If the indication lamp blinks, the AS&G
system is malfunctioning and will not oper-
ate.
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Manual transmission*
E00602002151
The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. To start off, depress the clutch
pedal all the way down and shift into 1 st
or
“R” (Reverse) position.
Then operate the gearshift lever slowly. Af- terwards gradually release the clutch pedal
while depressing the accelerator pedal.CAUTIONl Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-
mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
l Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand rest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.
l Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the traction force is very great.NOTEl During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l In case of hot weather condition or long time
cruising with high speed, a speed limitation
function may work to restrict the oil temper-
ature rising of the manual transmission. Af- ter the oil temperature drops to the appropri-
ate level, the speed limitation function is cancelled.
l The gearshift indicator shows recommended
gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It
shows a
when an upshift is recommen-
ded.

: Remain offCAUTIONl The “4L” range gives maximum torque for
low-speed driving on steep slopes, as well assandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(43 mph) in “4L” range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways. Do-
ing so may result in excessive tyre wear, in-
creased fuel consumption, and possible noise
generation. It may also increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, which may damage the drive system. Further, the drive train will besubjected to excessive loading, resulting in
oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous problems. On dry paved roads and high- ways, drive the vehicle in “2H” only.Drive mode-selector operation

l After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and take the necessary
measures. • Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpetetc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, have
the headlamp drained off.Cautions on handling of 4-

Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the 4 wheels, the performance of the vehiclewhen operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af-
fected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-15.
l Be sure to the appropriate tyre inflation
pressure according to no cargo or cargo.
Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-12.
l Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of
the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever 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 10-13.
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 the tyres which dif-
fer in size, type, brands or the degree of wear or the inappropriate tyre inflation pres-
sure, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and may be impossible to shift the transfer, resulting in possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or
other serious faults.
Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to
have it done by your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.
