Since the driving torque can be applied to the4 wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tyres.Pay close attention to the tyres.zInstall only the specified tyres on allwheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” onpage 12-8.zBe sure all 4 tyres and wheels are thesame size and type.When it is necessary to replace any of thetyres or wheels, replace all four.zAll tyres should be rotated before thewear difference between the front and reartyres is recognisable.
Good vehicle performance cannot beexpected if there is a difference in wearbetween tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” onpage 11-11.zCheck the tyre inflation pressure regu-larly.

Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Ty r e s a n d w h e e l s
CAUTIONzAlways use tyres of the same size, type, andsame brand that have no wear differences.Using tyres of different size, type, brands ordegree of wear, will increase the differentialoil temperature and result in possible damageto the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subject to exce

front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result indamage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N GzDo not turn on Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemor turn a jacked-up wheel when the vehi-cle is jacked up. The tyre in contact withthe ground may turn and the vehicle maycome off the jack, possibly leading to anaccident. Besides, do not touch the high-voltage area.

allow air to cool the brakes between applica-tions.Furthermore, it might be able to reduce theload of the brakes by using the regenerativebrake force.Leave plenty of room between the front ofyour vehicle and the preceding vehicle.If the caravan begins to sway or becomes dif-ficult to handle, gently slow down or applythe independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOTthe vehicle brakes. Stop the vehicle andtrailer in a safe location. Examine the tyres ofthe trailer closely for damage. If you find thedamage of tyre, it is recommended that tyresbe inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point or a tyre retailerbefore proceeding further. Note that treadseparation [separation of the tread band fromthe body of the tyre] of trailer tyres which areaged, and/or loaded near their load limit, canbe difficult to detect, especially on caravanswhere tyres are covered.One cause of swaying is poor trailer balanceand until this has been overcome the swayingwill recur. Relocate the load in your trailer orcaravan and re-assess the problem.If the wheels of your vehicle, the trailer orcaravan leave the road surface and enter the
unsealed edge of the road, resist the urge topull it back quickly. Wait for a section wherethe levels of the road and unsealed edge arecomparable and then ease back onto thesealed section of the road with as little swayas possible.Try to maximise the distance between yourcaravan and passing or overtaking semi-trail-ers or other heavy vehicles. This will reducethe suction forces between the two and mini-mise disturbance of the caravan.Do not apply the brakes severely, be alert andanticipate trouble far enough ahead to enableyou to apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.Do not make any manoeuvres before ensuringthat the road behind and in front of your vehi-cle is clear.This will normally occur as a result of somemechanical failure. If your vehicle shouldoverheat, stop and check for a loose or brokenwater pump drive belt/ oil pump/cooling oil, ablocked radiator air intake or a low coolantlevel. If these items are satisfactory the over-heating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to bechecked at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.If your vehicle is in good mechanical condi-tion and it overheats due to heavy traffic con-ditions or high air temperatures, additionalcooling may be obtained by the followingmethods:zReduce your speed by 15 km/h if towingat high speeds.

WA R N I N GzMake sure that the engine and the Plug-inHybrid EV system
have cooled down
before removing the
radiator cap (D) and
the reserve tank cap (E), because hotsteam or boiling water otherwise will gushfrom the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONzDo not add coolant while the engine is hot.Suddenly adding cold
coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool down,then add coolant a little at a time.

The engine oil used has a significant effect onthe engine’s performance, service life andstartability. Be sure to use oil of the recom-mended quality and appropriate viscosity.All engines consume a certain amount of oilduring normal operation. Therefore, it isimportant to check the oil level at regularintervals or before starting a long trip.1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.2. Switch off the engine.3. Wait a few minutes.4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with aclean cloth.5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oillevel, which should always be within therange indicated7. If the oil level is below the specified limit,remove the cap located on the cylinderhead cover and add enough oil to raise thelevel to within the specified range. Do notoverfill to avoid engine damage. Be sureto use the specified engine oil and do notmix various types of oil.8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4to 6.
zSelect engine oil of the proper SAE vis-cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40engine oils can only be used if they meetACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and APISG (or higher) specifications.zUse engine oil conforming to the follow-ing classification:•API classification: “For service SG” orhigher•ILSAC certificated oil•ACEA classification:“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, orA5/B5”
