After operating the vehicle in rough road con-ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:zCheck that the vehicle has not been dam-aged by rocks, gravel, etc.zCarefully 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, we recommend you tohave the brakes checked as soon as possi-ble.zRemove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-ging the radiator core.zCheck the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.zInspect the headlamps, If the headlampbulb is flooded with water, we recom-mend you to have it drained.
WA R N I N GzDo not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi-cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintaincontrol and traction.
Reckless driving may
lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions.zImproperly operating this vehicle on oroff-pavement can cause an accident orrollover in which you and your passengerscould be seriously injured or killed.•Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.•Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.NOTE
zDriving on rough roads can be hard on avehicle. Before you leave the pavement, besure all scheduled maintenance and servicehas been done, and that
you have inspected
your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tyres, and check the tyrepressures.zMITSUBISHI MOTORS
is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injurycaused or liability incurred by improper andnegligent operation of a vehicle. All tech-niques of vehicle operation depend on theskill and experience of the operator and otherparticipating parties.
Any deviation from the
recommended operating instructions aboveis at their own risk.
zNote that the stopping
distance required of
the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the 2-wheel
drive vehicle. When
driving on a snow-covered
road or a slippery,
muddy surface, make sure that you keep asufficient distance between your vehicle andthe one ahead of you.zThe driving posture s
hould be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easysteering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.zAfter driving on rough roads, check eachpart of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-tion” section and “Maintenance” sections.

brake/hitch requirements, adjust the positionof the load in the trailer to achieve the specifi-cation requirements.Select the appropriate hitch combinationwhich is to be used in conjunction with theMITSUBISHI MOTORS approved parts tow-bar. If you use the load distributing hitch, itmust be installed in accordance with the man-ufacturer’s instructions.It is recommended that two safety chains areused. The chains should be
crossed
under the
trailer draw bar so that the draw bar is pre-vented from touching the ground if itbecomes detached from the vehicle. Thechains must not stop the trailer from turningfreely. Correct load rated shackles must beused to attach the chains. In some states andterritories, a single safety chain is permittedby regulation. Be sure it is attached with cor-rect load rated shackles.For further information about the selectionand use of towing equipment, consult a MIT-SUBISHI MOTORS Authorised ServicePoint.
Have your vehicle serviced prior to towing aheavy trailer or caravan, taking particularcare of the state of Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemtune, the condition of brakes, steering andtyres.Adjust tyre pressures to those quoted for afully laden vehicle (see Tyre placard).Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted)on the caravan / trailer.Have the cooling system checked and ensurethat the radiator intake is clear to allow maxi-mum air flow through the radiator. Do not
place restrictions in front of the radiator(water bags, driving lamps, insect screens,non MITSUBISHI MOTORS approved bull-bars, etc.) as they restrict air flows.Check that tow bar fixing bolts are tightenedto specification.After a loaded caravan has been connected tothe vehicle, there may be a slight change invehicle attitude which for your night drivingsafety may require the headlamps to be re-aimed.If you have never towed before, connect yourtrailer or caravan and take it for a run overfamiliar ground in your own district. Feel thedifference in acceleration, handling and brak-ing and you are less likely to be surprised ifan emergency does occur, when you are awayfrom home territory. The other driving mem-bers of your family should also becomefamiliar with the vehicle in this condition.If particularly steep or long downgrades areencountered, avoid “riding” the brakes.Apply the brakes firmly to reduce speed andthen remove your foot from the pedal to

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.

E01000503105
A transparent engine coolant reserve tank (A)and EV cooling system reserve tank (B) islocated in the engine compartment.The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “LOW” and “FULL” markswhen measured while the engine and theplug-in hybrid EV system are cold.
The cooling system is a closed system andnormally the loss of coolant should be veryslight. A noticeable drop in the coolant levelcould indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec-ommend you to have the system checked assoon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW”level on the reserve tank, open the lid and addcoolant.Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty,remove the radiator cap (C) or the reservetank cap (D) and add coolant until the levelreaches the filler neck.The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid EVsystem coolant contains an ethylene glycolanti-corrosion agent. Some parts of theengine and the plug-in hybrid EV system arecast aluminium alloy, and periodic changingof the engine coolant and the plug-in hybridEV system coolant are necessary to preventcorrosion of these parts.
NOTE
zUse of additives is
not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-tives already included in the engine oil. Itmay result in failure of the mechanicalassembly.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolanthas excellent protection against corrosion andrust formation of all metals including alumin-ium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosionagent, the coolant must not be replaced withplain water even in summer. The requiredconcentration of anti-freeze differs dependingon the expected ambient temperature.Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-freeze
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolantin the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system orradiator could freeze and cause severe dam-age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-cient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant toprevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked beforethe start of cold weather and anti-freezeadded to the system if necessary.
