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 duringthe 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. Theseactions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel andoil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoidfull acceleration while in low shift posi-tion (low gears).Do not overload the vehicle. Stay withinthe seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo loadprecautions” on page 6-10.)Refrain from towing a trailer or othervehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

After operating the vehicle in rough road con-ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:Check that the vehicle has not been dam-aged by rocks, gravel, etc.Carefully wash the
vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.After driving through water, check theengine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudybecause of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.Check the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.Inspect the headlights. If water is in theheadlight housing, have
it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
N00530801214
Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.Install only the specified tires on allwheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.Be sure all four tire
s and wheels are the
same size
and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four.All tires should be rotated before the weardifference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot beexpected if there is a difference in wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-20.Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deepenough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water.Frequent driving through water canadversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle.After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. Ifthe brakes are wet and not functioning prop-erly, dry them out by
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.
Inspection and maintenance following rough road opera-tion
Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTIONAlways use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Usingtires of different size,
type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-perature and result in
possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13

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.

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.

or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and thenmount the spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand toinitially tighten them.[Type 1: On vehicles
with steel wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts byhand until the tapered parts of the wheelnuts make light contac
t with the seats of
the wheel holes and the wheel is notloose.[Type 2: On vehicles with aluminiumwheels]Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts byhand until the flange parts of the wheelnuts make light cont
act with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
CAUTIONHandle the wheel carefully when changingthe tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-face.WA R N I N GMount the spare wheel with the valve stem(I) facing outward. If
you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you
have installed the
wheel backwards.Operating the vehicle with the spare wheelinstalled backwards can cause vehicledamage and result
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
Flange nuts can be te
mporarily used on the
compact spare wheel as shown in the illustra-tion, but return to the original wheel and tireas soon as possible.CAUTIONNever apply oil to either the wheel bolts orthe nuts or they will tighten too much.
