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.

N00629801329
Towing a trailer will adversely affect your vehicle’s handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel con-sumption, etc.). If you do tow a trailer
with this vehicle, be
sure to use proper e
quipment and cautious
steering and braking for safe driving. Never exceed the vehi
cle capacity weight,
maximum trailer weight (A), maximum
 Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure itis securely fastened to the roof carrier.Stop the vehicle periodi
cally and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle anddamage your vehicle,
another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roofcarrier should be removed.

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.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehicle has been parked for
at least three hours,
or• The measured pressure when the vehicle is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
 Maximum pressure: the maximum per- missible cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.
WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts. Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged. Keep sparks, cigarette
s, and flames away
from the battery because the battery couldexplode. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis- color them. And if it gets on your skin orin your eyes, it can cause burns or blind- ness. Please observe the following han- dling instructions:• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a softcloth or chamois soak
ed in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme- diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in
your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and get immedi-ate medical attention.
 Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging or working with the battery. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working with the battery, or have a skilled automobi
le technician do it.
If you are quick-charging your battery, first disconnect the battery cables. In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, and reconnect it last. If the electrolyte level
is very low, have the
battery checked at an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice. Battery posts, termin
als and related acces-
sories contain lead
and lead compounds.

detergent or non-abrasive
cleaner to clean the
blades and glass areas.Replace the blades if th
ey continue to streak
or smear. If the blades are frozen to the windshield or rear window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed,otherwise the wiper mo

N00940800328
Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that me
ets all the requirements
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase ventilation system  an evaporative emission-control system  an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emissi
on-control system works
properly, have your ve
hicle inspected and
maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be done at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep
your vehicle running
properly and reliably. You should also have
an inspection and ser-
vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure proper engine perfo
rmance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs sh
ould be replaced at
the mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
N00941000040
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage, ha
rd and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe-cial attention to the hos
es closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold. Check all the hose connections, such as clamps andcouplings, to make sure they are secure and that there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the hoses immediately.
NOTE
 Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long time. This wears out
the rubber and can
scratch the glass.
During cold weather Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
 To meet government
regulations and pro-
mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD).The engine electroni
c control module that
controls OBD functions
stores various data
(especially about th
e exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVIC
E ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the recommended or
equivalent spark
plugs listed under “Engine specifications” onpage 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of
performance or radio
noise.
