For a safer and more enjoyable trip, alwayscheck for the following:Before starting the vehicle, make certainthat you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors and theliftgate are locked.
Move the driver’s seat as far backward aspossible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator, and controls. Checkthe instrument panel indicators and multi-information display
for any possible prob-
lem.Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as fa
r back as possible.
Make sure that infants and small childrenare properly restrained in accordance withall laws and
regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode,and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-12Check all the tires for heavy tread wear oruneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressure.
Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out.As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tirereplacement should, onl
y, be performed by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Have someone watch wh
ile you turn all the
exterior lights on and off. Also check the turnsignal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel.Check the ground under the vehicle afterparking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

you give extra attention to the followingareas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic,road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.Before changing lanes, check your mir-rors, blind spots, a
nd use your turn-signal
light.While driving, watch the behavior ofother drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such assudden 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 rightfuel.
N00629400445
Check the battery. At the same time,check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery willnot 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 ifthe 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. Thendrive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that thetransaxle, transfer case and rear axle oilhave time to spread to all lubricationpoints.Check the engine antifreeze.If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long LifeCoolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-8.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N GThe battery gives off explosive hydrogengas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause seriousinjury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, orlet a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N GNever open the radiator cap when theradiator is hot. You could be seriouslyburned.

On snowy roads, ice can form on the brakingsystem, making the brakes less effective.While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time totime, 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 onsteep downhill roads in order to prevent thebrakes from overheating.
N00629601385
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,and turn the front wheels toward the curb on adownhill, or away from
the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.Be sure that the parki
ng brake is firmly set
when parked and that the selector lever is inthe “P” (PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake befo
re moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre-vents loading the parking brake against thetransaxle. When this ha
ppens, it is difficult to
move the selector lever out of the “P”Never leave the engine running while youtake a short nap or rest. Also, never leave theengine running in a closed or poorly venti-lated place.Your front bumper can be damaged if youscrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.Be careful when traveling up or down steepslopes where your bumper can scrape theroad.
Always carry the key and lock all doors andthe liftgate when leaving the vehicle unat-tended.Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea.Move effort could be required to turn thesteering wheel.Refer to “Electric power steering system(EPS)” on page 5-99.

Trailer towing6-14 Driving safety

Trailer lights and equipment must complywith federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your loca
l recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, anduse 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 thevehicle and the trailer.
Improper equipment or
installation can cause da
mage to your vehi-
cle’s electrical system
and affect your vehicle
warranty.Many states and Canadi
an provinces require
special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required,
you should install spe-
cial mirrors if you ca
nnot clearly see behind
you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency if any
other items are recomm
ended or required for
your towing situation.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount ofexperience.Before setting out for the open road, you’llwant to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling and brakingwith the added weight of the trailer. Alwayskeep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicl
e is without a trailer.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch,safety chains, tires
and mirror adjustment.
Be sure your vehicle’s ti
res are inflated to the
cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbe
rs on the tire and
loading information placard at the sill of thedriver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflati
on pressures” on page
9-19.Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicleahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid
situations that require
heavy braking and sud-
den turns.

Operating hints
WA R N I N GIf you have a rear window open and youtow a trailer with
your vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It cancause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24.To maximize your safe
ty when towing a
trailer:Have your exhaust system inspected forleaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip.Keep the rear windows closed.If exhaust does come into your vehiclethrough a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating orcooling system on an
d with the blower on
any speed. This will
bring fresh, outside
air into your vehicle. Do not use recircula-tion because it only recirculates the airinside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selectionswitch” on page 7-9.
