N00301001951
Your vehicle is designe
d to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe specifically
designed to accept only
a small diameter unlea
ded gasoline dispens-
ing nozzle. In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging and minimize intake-valve
deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working prop- erly. Your vehicle is de
signed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON. Unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON may be used, though it is recommended yourvehicle be operated on premium grade unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 91 [(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON. To obtain maximum performance, premium gasoline is recommended. Gasoline sold at some
service stations con-
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although
the oxygenates may not be identified by those names. Oxygenates are required in someareas of the country. Oxygenated fuel can be used in your vehicle. A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco- hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as
that recommended for
unleaded gasoline. Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con- taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using thistype of alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s performance
and damage critical
parts of the vehicl
e’s fuel system.
Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-lated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline
contains oxygenates
and is specially ble
nded to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality.
Fuel selection
WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. When-ever you refuel your
vehicle, stop the
engine and keep fl
ames, sparks, and
smoking materials away from the vehicle.Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out- door areas.CAUTION Using leaded gasoline
in your vehicle will
damage the engine, ca
talytic converter, and
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso- line is illegal, and
will void your warranty

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’
s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,  How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems
CAUTION Please consult an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer concerning any such acces-sory fitment or modification. If the wires interfere with the vehicle body or improper installation me
thods are used (pro-
tective fuses not included, etc.), electronic devices may be advers
ely affected, resulting
in a fire, vehicle dama
ge, or other accident.

Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-86 Features and controls
5
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of
driving torque with
operating the electroni
c control coupling
arranged in the rear differential assembly. The AYC is a system with a yaw control function, that controls the left-right driv- ing/braking force using the brakes.
The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the drive power difference of the left and right wheels and the braking force when thevehicle does not turn in
response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on slippery road.
N00542401103
Select the drive mode from the following fourtypes to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills. Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 5-88 and take care to drivesafety.
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws ofphysics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-tem, like any other sy
stem, has limits and
cannot help you to main
tain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in
all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to
accidents. It is the
driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.

N00629301092
Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However, avoid driving the vehicle through areas wherethe tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designe
d primarily for use on
pavement, unlike a conventional off-roadvehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles are less capable than 4-wh
eel drive vehicles for
driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads. Utility vehicles have
higher ground clearance
and a narrower track, which enables them toperform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear- ance, these vehicles have a higher center ofgravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave- ment. They are not designed to maneuver orcorner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel driv
e passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions.Always drive safely
and steer the vehicle
carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in a manner that might require sharp turns orabrupt maneuvers. As wi
th other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly can result in lo
ss of control or vehicle
rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig- nificantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Be
fore starting the vehi-
cle, always make cert
ain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seat belts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).
N00628801191
Fuel economy is depe
ndent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig-nificant effect on your fuel consumption. Several recommendations
for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
 When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off. Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode to “4WD ECO” or “4WDAUTO” (Electronically controlled 4WD), or “AWC ECO” or “NORMAL” (S- AW C ) . For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.  Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you
have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non- drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.
Driving precaution
WA R N I N G Utility vehicles have
a significantly higher
rollover rate than othe
r types of vehicles.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers and excessive speed. Always buckle up.

destroy the emission-c
ontrol effectiveness of
the converter. Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is important to keep the engine properly tuned for the con- verter to continue to work properly. To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.
 Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.  Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine.  Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when performing
diagnosti
c tests.
 Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning. To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do not race the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with the ignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe a
nd abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place, shut
the engine off and let
the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for service.
N00937501692
Use the engine hood release lever (located under the instrument panel near the driver’s door) to unlock the engine hood. Pull the lever toward you to release the engine hood latch.
CAUTION Damage to the catalyti
c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running your vehicle when it is
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.
