NOTElWhen the sensors are detecting different ob-
stacles at the same time, the information screen in the multi information display indi-
cates the directions of the obstacles each sensors are detecting. However, closer ob-
stacles are given priority over other detected obstacles and the warning buzzer sounds to
inform you of closer obstacles.Changing the detection areas

The detection areas can be changed as fol-
lows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds twice to indi-
cate that the detection area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and
release it. The buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
NOTEl The detection area will not change if you
keep the “SONAR” switch pushed for 10
seconds or more.
l After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord- ing to the detection area setting.

Rear-view camera*
7-73OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTElBecause the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into the lens
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta-
minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil, wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-tion.
• Do not subject the camera to physical
shock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
• Do not splash the camera with boiling wa-
ter.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
Reference lines on the screen
Reference lines and upper surface of the rear
bumper (A) are displayed on the screen.
l Red line (B) indicates approximately
50 cm behind the rear bumper.
l Two Green lines (C) indicate approxi-
mately 20 cm outside of the vehicle body.
l Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate
distance from the rear bumper.Check surroundings for safety.
1- Approximately at the rear edge of the rear bumper
2- Approximately 100 cm
3- Approximately 200 cm
NOTEl It is possible to change the display language
of the screen.
For details, please refer to the separate own- er’s manual for “ MITSUBISHI Multi Com-
munication System (MMCS)”.
l When the vehicle is tilting because of the
number of people in the vehicle, the weight
and positioning of luggage, and/or the condi-NOTEtion of the road surface, the lines in the view from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface. In the following cases, objects shown on the
screen will appear to be farther off than they actually are.
• When the rear of the vehicle is weighed
down with the weight of passengers and
luggage in the vehicle.
A- Actual objects
B- Objects shown on the screen

7-74OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTE•When there is an upward slope at the
back.
A- Actual objects
B- Objects shown on the screen
l The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface. This may make the distance to a projectingobject shown on the screen differ from the
actual distance to the projecting object. Do not use them as a guide for distances to solid
objects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The points A and B actually are the same distances from the vehicle, and the
NOTEpoint C is farther off than the points A and
B.Cargo loads
E00609901497
Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONlDo not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab- in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.CAUTIONl Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un- stable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.NOTEl We recommend you to use a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special shape. For details, we recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
Cargo loads
7-75OGGE14E5Starting and driving7 Check surroundings for safety.

Roof carrier precautionCAUTIONlMake sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maximum
roof load” on page 12-05.
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak-ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-
hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma- noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier. Check periodically during your travel that
the load remains secure.NOTEl To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) and/or the tailgate when installing a roof carrier.Trailer towing
E00610001746
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device mounted that
meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications.
(Refer to page 12-05.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-cations
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

Operating hints
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
