The original equipment floor mat provided with your vehicle was
specifically designed
for your vehicle.Always properly positio
n the floor mat and
assure it does not inte
rfere with operation of
the pedals. Always use the retaining clip onthe driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. When used, this clip will help prevent the floor mat from moving forward and possi- bly interfering with the operation of the ped- als. To prevent the floor mat from movingforward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishi genuine floor mats are recommended.

NOTE
 The shape of the mat and the number of retaining clips may vary depending on the vehicle model.WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distances resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the reta
ining clip on the
driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down.
 Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle ev
en if it is a Mit-
subishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips.If you remove the fl
oor mat while clean-
ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always

 Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.
N00629400445
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. During extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe engine runs at the proper speed and if the headlights are as
bright as normally.
Charge or replace the battery if necessary.During extreme cold weather, it is possi- ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-uptime to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that thetransaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubrication points. Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine coolant” on page 9-8.
N00629501528
All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
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 and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such
conditions, pay close
attention to surrounding vehicles and to the condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives o
ff explosive hydrogen
gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13
6
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 throughout the frame. A safety chain must al
ways 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 groundin case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chai
n procedures, consult
your authorized Mitsub
ishi 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 trailer operation are manual transaxle oil, automatic transaxle fluid, engine oi
l, rear axle oil, belt,
cooling system and brake system. Each of these is covered in this manual. For details, please refer to the “Vehicle careand maintenance” section. Check periodically to se
e that all hitch nuts
and bolts are tight.
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total we
ight of 1,250 lbs (567
kg) or more (2400 models), 1,400 lbs (635kg) or more (3000 mode
ls) be equipped with
its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric br
akes, 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 attempt
to 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 or installation can cause
damage to your vehi-
Trailer hitches
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 9-24.NOTE
 Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used whenever you are towing, to improve towing stability. For further informati
on, please contact your
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTIONNever tow a trailer wi
thout using a safety
chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the
coupling unit or hitch
ball experiences a probl
em, the trailer may
separate from
your vehicle.

N00836301230
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the hazard
lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.
