transfer MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV 2011 User Guide

CAUTION
l
Selecting the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
to drive on dry paved road will increase
the fuel consumption with possible noise
generation and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential oil
temperature, resulting in possible dam-
age to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading, possibly leading to
oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious faults.
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the transfer

shift lever to the “4H” or “4HLc”
position in accordance with the road conditions,
and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for
a smooth start.
NOTE
l The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l In order to ensure that the anti-lock brake sys-
tem (ABS) will operate correctly in situa-
tions where tyre chains have been fitted,
drive in the “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting). CAUTION
l
Avoid sudden braking,
sudden accelera-
tion, and sharp turning; such operations
could cause skidding and spinouts. Driving on sandy or muddy roads
Set the
transfer

shift lever to the “4HLc” or “4LLc”
position and then gradually depress the accelerator
pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the
accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive
at low speed. CAUTION
l
Do not
force
the vehicle or drive reckless-
ly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with
normal road surfaces, the engine and oth-
er drive-system components are put un-
der excessive strain when driving on such
a surface, and this could lead to accidents.
l If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and fol-
low these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gaugeapproaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on
page 6-04.
• A/T fluid temperature warning lamp illuminates.
Refer to “When the A/T fluid temper-
ature warning lamp comes on” on
page 4-22. WARNING
l When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck

position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-
ward or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
NOTE l Avoid
sudden braking,

acceleration, and turn-
ing; such operations could result in the vehi-
cle becoming stuck.
l If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or mud-
dy roads, it can often be moved with a rock-
ing motion. Move the selector lever rhythmi-
cally between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (RE-
VERSE) position (with M/T, between 1 st
and
Reverse), while applying slight pressure to
the accelerator pedal.
l It is recommended to start the vehicle with
parking brake partially, but not completely,
applied by slightly pulling the parking brake
lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do not for-
get to release the parking brake.
l If it is necessary to drive in extremely muddy
conditions, the use of tyre chains is recom-
mended. Because the extent of muddy condi-
tions is difficult to judge and the vehicle
could become bogged down very deeply, op-
eration should be at a low speed. If possible,
get out of the vehicle and check the condi-
tions ahead before proceeding. Starting and driving

OBKE12E1

l
Driving over
roads in coastal areas or roads
on which anti-skid preparations have been
spread can cause rust on the vehicle; wash
the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible af-
ter such use.
Climbing sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc” position to
maximize the engine torque. WARNING
l Go
straight
up.
Do not try to traverse
across a steep slope.
l If you begin to lose traction, ease off the
accelerator pedal and gently turn the
steering wheel alternatively left and right
to regain adequate traction again.
NOTE l Choose
as smooth

a slope as possible with
few stones or other obstacles.
l Before attempting to drive up the slope, walk
it up to confirm that the vehicle can handle
the grade.
Descending sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc” position,
use the engine brake (downshifting) and descend
slowly. WARNING
l Avoid
snaking
down
a sharp grade. De-
scend the grade as straight as possible. NOTE
l When descending a sharp grade, if the brakes
are
applied suddenly

because of an obstacle
encountered, control of the vehicle could be
lost. Before descending the slope, walk it
down and confirm the path.
l Before descending a grade, it is necessary to
choose the appropriate gear. Avoid changing
gears or depressing the clutch while descend-
ing the grade.
l MITSUBISHI MOTORS is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injury
caused or liability incurred by improper and
negligent operation of a vehicle. All techni-
ques of vehicle operation described herein de-
pend on the skill and experience of the opera-
tor and other participating parties and any de-
viation from the recommended operation in-
structions above is at their own risk.
Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in the “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position at low speed, a slight difference in
steering may be experienced similar to as if the
brakes were applied. This is called tight corner brak-
ing and results from each of the 4 tyres being at a
different distance from the corner.
The phenomenon is peculiar to 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. If this occurs, either straighten the steering
wheel, or change to rear-wheel drive.
Crossing a stream
4-wheel drive vehicles are not necessarily water-
proof. If the electrical circuits become wet, further
operation of the vehicle will be impossible; there-
fore, avoid crossing streams unless absolutely nec-
essary. If crossing a stream is unavoidable, use the
following procedure: 1. Check depths of a stream and geographical
features before
attempting to cross a stream
and ford the stream where the water is as shal-
low as practicable.
2. Cross at a place where the water is less than 70 cm deep.
3. Set the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc” po- sition.
4. Drive slowly at a speed of approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) to avoid splashing too much
water. CAUTION
l
Do not
attempt
to cross a stream at a
place where the water is more than 70 cm
deep.
l Cross a stream temporarily for emergen-
cies and avoid doing so for a long period
of time.
l After crossing a stream, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly.
If the brakes are wet and not functioning
properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.
NOTE l Because
the inside

of the vehicle is flooded
with water when crossing at a place where
the water is more than 50 cm deep, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
l Frequent crossing of streams can adversely af-
fect the life span of the vehicle; we recom-
mend you to take the necessary measures to
prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle. Starting and driving

Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation E00606700048
After operating the
vehicle in rough road condi-
tions, be sure to perform the following inspection
and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been damaged
by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
After washing, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal in or-
der to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still
do not function properly, we recommend you
to have the brakes checked as soon as possible
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
l After crossing a stream, be sure to have the
following items inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and take
the necessary measures.
• Check the brake system and, if necessary,have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, transfer, and differential oil or grease level and tur-
bidity. If the oil or grease is milky, it indi-
cates water contamination. Replace it
with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If ingress of water is found, dry the carpet etc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the headlamp bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained. Cautions on handling of 4-wheel
drive vehicles E00606800401
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving
torque can be applied to the 4
wheels, the performance of the vehicle when oper-
ating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the con-
dition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer to
“Tyres and wheels” on page 9-12.
l Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of the
same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear
tyres is recognizable.

Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if
there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to
“Tyre rotation” on page 8-14. l Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly.
l If the tyre inflation pressure is inappropriate,
the transfer gear may make some noise and
shock while changing the drive mode. CAUTION
l
Always use tyres
of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres which differ
in size, type, brand or the degree of wear
will cause excessive loading, resulting in
possible damage to the drive system.
Towing
If towing is

necessary, we recommend you to have
it done by your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a
tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals
that oil or some other fluid is leaking.
Only when you cannot receive a towing service
from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or commercial tow truck service, tow
your vehicle carefully in accordance with the in-
structions given in “Towing” on page 6-15. Starting and driving
4-35 4

OBKE12E1

CAUTION
l
Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
the “2H” position. Never try to tow with
the transfer shift lever in the “4H”,
“4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and with
any of the wheels on the ground (Type A
or B). This could result in damage to the
vehicle’s driving system, or the vehicle
could become separated from the tow
truck and unexpected accident might re-
sult. If you cannot shift the transfer shift
lever to “2H” position or the transmission
is malfunctioning or damaged, transport
the vehicle with all the wheels on a car-
riage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
If you can shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H”
position. Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WARNING
l Do not
crank
the engine while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack. Clutch operation
Quick or
slight

clutch engagement made while the
engine is running at high speed will cause damage
to the clutch and transmission because the tractive
force is very great.

Driving hints
E00618100036
When extricating the
vehicle from mud, sand or
fresh snow with the transfer shift lever in the “2H”,
“4H”, or “4HLc” position, you may find that opera-
tion of the ASTC prevents the engine speed from in-
creasing in response to depression of the accelera-
tor pedal. If this happens and the vehicle remains
stuck as a result, place the transfer shift lever in the
“4LLc” position or turn the Active Stability Con-
trol switch OFF. The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active traction con-
trol function is still working to prevent wheel spins
when ASC OFF switch “OFF” or “4LLc” position
selected.)
NOTE
l If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h (75 mph) with the Active Stability
Control function deactivated, the Active Sta-
bility Control function automatically starts op-
erating. To subsequently stop the Active Sta-
bility Control function, stop the vehicle and
press the ASC OFF switch again.
Active stability control function E00613900097
The Active Stability Control function is designed
to help maintain

the vehicle’s control in slippery
conditions, or during rapid steering manoeuvres. It
works by controlling the engine output and brake
on each wheel. NOTE
l The
Active Stability

Control function does
not operate when the transfer shift lever is in
the “4LLc” position.
When the Active Stability Control function
is operating with the transfer shift lever in
the “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position, moving
the shift lever to the “4LLc” position makes
the Active Stability Control function deacti-
vate automatically.

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
