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 asyour vehicle is designe
d primarily for use on
pavement, unlike a conventional off-roadvehicle.Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles areless 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 differentlythan 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 amanner 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 personwearing a seat belt. Be
fore starting the vehi-
cle, always make cert
ain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (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, donot idle the engine. Shut it off.Plan your trips to avoid unnecessarystops.
Keep your tires inflated to the recom-mended pressures.When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle onhighways or dry improved roads, set thedrive mode to “4WD ECO” or “4WDAUTO” (Electronically controlled 4WD),or “AWC ECO” or “NORMAL” (S-AW C ) .For freeway driving, maintain a speed ofapproximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditionssafely permit.Keep your air filter clean and your vehiclelubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained enginewastes fuel and costs money.Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequentcauses of accidents.Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below thelegal minimum. If you
have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or usepublic 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 excessivespeed. Always buckle up.

The original equipment floor mat providedwith 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 floormat. When used, this clip will help preventthe 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 theoperation of the pedals, Mitsubishi genuinefloor mats are recommended.
N00628700050
1. Place the floor mat to fit the shape of thefloorboard.2. Align the floor mat with the installationholes over the retaining clips.3. Secure the floor mat with retaining clips.
WA R N I N GNEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.Your perceptions are

NOTE
The shape of the mat and the number ofretaining clips may vary depending on thevehicle model.
WA R N I N GIf a floor mat is the wrong size or is notproperly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera-tion and/or increase
d stopping distances
resulting in a cras
h and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interferewith the accelerator or brake pedal.Always use the retaining clip on thedriver’s floorboard to secure the floormat.Always install the mat with the correctside facing down.Never install a second mat over or underan existing floor mat.Do not use a floor mat designed foranother 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
check the condition
of the floor mat afte
r it has been rein-
stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with theengine off, check that
the floor mat is not
interfering with the pedals by depressingthe pedals fully.

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight,maximum trailer weight (A), maximumtongue weight (B) and Gross Axle WeightRating (GAWR).The vehicle capacity weight is printed on thetire and loading inform
ation placard as “com-
bined weight of oc
cupants and cargo”.
The weight includes the weight of all occu-pants and the total weight it can carry.For more information, refer to “Tire and load-ing information plac
ard” on page 6-7.
Recommendations for to
wing up to this limit
are as follows.
The tongue weight of a
ny trailer is important
because it affects the ve
hicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes anycargo you may carry, a
nd the people who will
be riding in the vehi
cle. If you will tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight ofthe trailer in your calculation of the vehiclecapacity weight. For more informationregarding vehicle capa
city weight, refer to
“Tire and loading information placard” onpage 6-7.Do not exceed the maximum tongue weightfor your vehicle.After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh thetrailer and then the to
ngue, separately, to see
if the weights are proper.Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of theloaded trailer weight fo
r dead weight hitches.

Tongue loads can be adjusted by proper dis-tribution of the load in the trailer. This can bechecked by separately
weighing the loaded
trailer and then the tongue.The GAWRs are printed on the certificationlabel which is riveted on the door sill on thedriver’s side.Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 11-2.Choose a proper hitch and ball, and makesure it is installed at a height that is compati-ble with the trailer.Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformlydistributes the trailer tongue load throughoutthe 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 chainshould 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 oftenwhen you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR-RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”. Especially important in traileroperation are automatic transaxle fluid,engine oil, rear axle
oil, belt, c
ooling 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 see that all hitch nutsand bolts are tight.Mitsubishi Motors recommends that anytrailer 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 tapinto your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat-ter how successful it
may seem, any attempt
to attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’shydraulic system will lower braking effec-tiveness and create a potential hazard.
Gross axle weight rating (GAWR) Trailer hitches
WA R N I N GIf you make any holes in the body of yourvehicle for installing
a trailer hitch, be
sure to seal the holes later when youremove the hitch. If
you don’t seal them,
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from yourexhaust can enter your vehicle. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24.
NOTE
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that swaycontrol be used whenever you are towing, toimprove towing stability.For further informati
on, please contact your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTIONNever tow a trailer wi
thout using a safety
chain securely attached to both the trailerand the vehicle. If the
coupling unit or hitch
ball experiences a probl
em, the trailer may
separate from
your vehicle.
