1Examples of effective use of the rear
differential lock
EI34B-Ca
CAUTION
Use the rear differential lock only as
an emergency measure when the
vehicle is stuck and cannot be freed
with the transfer shift lever in“4L”
position (part time 4WD) or in“4LLc”
or“4HLc”position (super select 4WD
II). Deactivate the rear differential lock
immediately after using it.
1- When one of the wheels has fallen in a
ditch.
I34B014A
22- When driving on rocky roads.
When the vehicle is unable to move
because one of the wheels is sus-
pended in the air.
I34B015A
33- When getting out of snow.
When the vehicle is unable to get going
because one of the wheels is on the
snow and the other on a paved road.

Examples of incorrect use of the
rear differential lock
EI34C-Ba
WARNING
If the“4L”,“4LLc”or“4HLc”is
selected and it runs with the state of
the rear differential lock, the follow-
ing phenomena appear and it is very
dangerous.
Please be sure to release the rear dif-
ferential lock on normal roads.
(1)If the rear differential lock is used
by mistake when driving on a
paved road: With the rear differ-
ential lock on, the power to drive
the vehicle straight ahead
becomes very strong, which may
make it difficult to turn the steer-
ing wheel.
I34C015A
WARNING
(2) If the rear differential lock is used
by mistake when turning a curve
or making a right or left turn at
a crossing or the like: The
vehicle is unable to make a turn
and may go straight ahead.
I34C016A
WARNING
(3) If the rear differential lock is used
by mistake except when mak-
ing an emergency escape on
snow or frozen road:
It becomes difficult to make a
steady turn.
(4) In the case where the condition
of the road is different for the
right tyre to drive from the left
tyre (such as one tyre on a
paved road and the other on
ice), direction of the vehicle may
change abruptly when engine
braking or accelerating.
Do not use the rear differential
lock except when making an
emergency escape on a snow or
frozen road, but drive with 4WD.

Correct 4-wheel drive
operation
EI32ABCa
By shifting lock to 4-wheel drive, both axles
of the vehicle are rigidly connected with
each other. This improves the traction char-
acteristics. When turning sharp corners or
moving forward and backward repeat-
edly, however, the drive line is stressed,
which is felt as a braking effect. A 4-wheel
drive vehicle can accelerate more quickly
and smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance is
not shorter than that of a rear-wheel drive
vehicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads
(snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is important to
operate the vehicle correctly.
NOTE
(1) The driving posture should be more
upright and closer to the wheel than
usual; adjust the seat to a good posi-
tion for easy steering and pedal opera-
tion. Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) After driving on rough roads, check
each part of the vehicle and wash it
thoroughly with water. Refer to the sec-
tions“Vehicle care”and“Inspection and
maintenance following rough road
operation”.
Driving on dry paved road and high-
waySelect“2H”(part time 4WD),“2H”or“4H”
(super select 4WD II) to drive on a dry
paved road. Especially on dry highway,
never select the“4H”or“4L”(part time
4WD),“4HLc”or“4LLc”(super select 4WD
II).
CAUTION
Selecting“4H”or“4L”(part time
4WD),“4HLc”or“4LLc”(super select
4WD II), 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 pos-
sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be sub-
jected to excessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.Driving on snowy or icy roadsSet the transfer shift lever to“4H”or“4L”
(part time 4WD),“4H”or“4HLc”(super
select 4WD II) in accordance with the road
conditions, and then gradually depress the
accelerator pedal for a smooth start.NOTE
(1) The use of snow tyres and/or tyre
chains is recommended.
(2) In order to ensure that the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) will operate cor-
rectly in situations where tyre chains
have been fitted, drive in“4H”or“4L”
for part time 4WD, or in“4H”,“4HLc”or
“4LLc”for super select 4WD II.
(3) Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and
use engine braking (downshifting).
CAUTION
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accel-
eration, and sharp turning; such
operations could cause skidding and
spinouts.Driving on sandy or muddy roadsSet the transfer shift lever to“4H”or“4L”
(part time 4WD),“4HLc”or“4LLc”(super
select 4WD II), 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.

Rear(3) The ABS becomes operative after the
vehicle has accelerated to a speed in
excess of approximately 10 km/h (6
mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
Limited-slip differential*
EC17A-Ha
A limited-slip differential is applied for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of
this limited-slip differential are described
below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a
different speed from the wheel on the other
side when the vehicle is cornering. The dif-
ference between the limited-slip differen-
tial and a conventional differential is that if
the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses
traction, a greater amount of torque is
applied to the rear wheel on the other side
to improve traction.
NOTE
Even if there is a difference in the amount
of traction the wheels can get, if both of
them are spinning, the limited-slip differ-
ential will not be effective.
CAUTION
(1) Never start the engine while one
of the rear wheels is jacked up
and the other in contact with the
ground; doing so may cause the
vehicle to jump forward.
(2) When attempting to extract the
vehicle from snow, mud, etc.,
and the engine is run continu-
ously at high speed, the
limited-slip differential will be
adversely affected.

CAUTION
[For super select 4WD II]
When you are going to tow another
vehicle, move the transfer shift lever
to“4H”position.
Selecting“2H”drive may increase
the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driv-
ing system.
Further, the drive train will be sub-
jected to excessive loading possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
NOTE
Your vehicle should only be used to tow
another vehicle if the weight of the other
vehicle is less than your vehicle.
Engine overheating
EN26AAY
If the water temperature gauge indication
remains in the overheating zone for a long
time, the engine may be overheating. If this
occurs, take the following corrective
measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
N26A208A
2. With the engine still running, raise the
bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.
A- Radiator cap
B- Radiator fan
C- Reserve tank
NOTE
Confirm that the radiator fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer for assistance.
