Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15
6
You’ll need more passing distance up aheadwhen you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to gomuch farther beyond the passed vehiclebefore you can return to your lane.Hold the bottom of the steering wheel withone hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left,just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to theright. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.When you’re turning with a trailer, makewider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signalwell in advance.Towing a trailer puts additional burden on theengine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating:When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at alower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately aftertowing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground)with the automatic transaxle in the “P”turning the engine off.
If the engine coolant temperature indica-tor flashes on the information screen inthe multi-information display or theengine power drops suddenly, refer to“Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
If the warning display or warningdisplay illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-70, 5-78.
Reduce speed and downshift before you startdown a long or steep downgrade. If you don’tdownshift, over using the brakes can causereduced brake efficiency.You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. Youmay want to shift the selector lever to the 3rdor a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions.Always place chocks or blocks under both thevehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set andthat the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so onlyafter performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTIONMaking sharp turns while towing a trailercould cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow-ing a trailer.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade wheneverpossible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires 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 conditioner is in use. Theentry of outside air through open windowswill reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioner, makesure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield,
is free of obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves collected inthe air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioner seems less effective thanusual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.Have the system inspected by your authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.

For quick defrosting NOTE
While the “ ” indicator light is on, the airconditioning compressor
will run automati-
cally. The outside air
position will also be
selected and the blower
speed will be set at
the maximum automatically.
If the “ ” indicator light is on, you cannotturn the air conditioner
off or select the recir-
culation position. This prevents the windowsfrom fogging up.To defog quickly, direct the air flow from theside vents toward the door windows.When defrosting, do not set the temperatureto the maximum cool position. This willblow cool air on the
window glass and fog it
up.
