Cargo loads
E00609901224
Cargo loads precautions CAUTION
l
When
loading
luggage, be careful to the
following. • Stow cargo and luggage in the luggagecompartment whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seats.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury.
Loading a roof carrier CAUTION
l
Use a
roof
carrier that properly fits your
vehicle.
Do not load luggage directly onto the roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction
manual accompanying the roof carrier. Roof carrier mounting brackets*
3-door models
5-door models
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets
(A). The
brackets

(A) are located under each roof
drip moulding (B).
NOTE
l We recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brackets
to be used have a special shape. For details,
we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. Roof carrier precaution CAUTION
l
Make 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 carrier).
For specific figures, please refer to “Max-
imum roof load” on page 9-07 .
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and
avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the car-
rier so that its weight is distributed even-
ly with the heaviest items on the bottom.
Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof could
raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and af-
fect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
manoeuvres 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. Starting and driving

NOTE
l To
prevent wind
noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Before using an automatic car wash, remove
the roof carrier.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) when installing a roof carrier. Trailer towing
E00610000550
In order
to
tow a trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A towing
bar

should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
When you are going to tow a trailer,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting the “2H” drive may increase the
differential oil temperature, resulting in
possible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
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 lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight” on page 9-07 .)
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 in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications
See
the following

towing bar. Starting and driving

NOTE
l The
values under
item 10 are applicable to un-
laden vehicles. These values can also be var-
ied depending on the tyre size, optional equip-
ment and suspension conditions.
Operating hints l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with M/T
only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph)* for trailer operation. *: For vehicles with only front seats,
80
km/h
(50

mph) should be applied in-
stead of 100 km/h (62 mph).
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal 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, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
A/T
The 2 nd
gear (in sports mode) is recommended on
slopes or at low speed. Use the 1 st
gear (in sports
mode) in mountainous areas in order to make better
use of engine braking and to assist the brake sys-
tem. However, be sure that the speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed limit for the selected gear. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and
side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.
NOTE l If
you press

the AUTO switch to select auto-
matic control after manually switching be-
tween outside air and recirculated air, the air
selection will also be automatically controlled. AUTO switch
E00702600011
When the
AUTO

switch is pressed, the operation in-
dication lamp (A) illuminates and the mode selec-
tion (except for “ ”), blower speed adjustment,
recirculated/outside air

selection, temperature ad-
justment and air conditioner ON/OFF status are all
controlled automatically. Air conditioning switch
E00703500886
Push the switch to turn the air conditioning on, indi-
cation lamp (A) will come on. Push the switch again to switch it off.
CAUTION
l
When using
the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the
air conditioning compressor is switched
on/off automatically. While the vehicle
with an A/T is stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTE l If
a problem

is detected in the air condition-
ing compressor, the air conditioning opera-
tion indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air conditioning op-
eration indication lamp does not blink, there
is no problem. If it does blink, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
l Sometimes, for example after using a high-
pressure car wash, the condenser can get wet,
and the operation indication lamp (A) blinks
temporarily. In this case there is nothing
wrong. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn
off the engine, then restart the engine. Once
the water evaporates, the blinking will stop. For pleasant driving
