3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under
pressure, remove the fuel tank filler
tube cap slowly. This relieves any
pressure or vacuum that might have
built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hiss-
ing sound, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel
may spray out. injuring you or oth-
ers.4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly
on correct handling of the fuel filler gun.
Do not tilt the gun. Insert the gun in the
tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
Petrol-powered vehicles have a label
located on the fuel tank filler lid that
states,“UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”.
The vehicle also has fuel tank filler
tube specially designed to accept the
smaller diameter unleaded petrol dis-
pensing nozzles only.
If the tank cap must be replaced, use
only a MITSUBISHI original part
specified for your vehicle.
5. When the gun stops automatically;
remove the gun half the way in the tank
port. After the second automatic stop, do
not fill with fuel any more.
CAUTION
To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not“top-off”the fuel tank.6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly clockwise until you hear click-
ing sounds, then gently push the fuel
tank filler door closed.
CAUTION
If you need to replace the fuel tank
filler tube cap, use only the cap
specified for your model vehicle.

(8) Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or that
there is unnecessary engine rotation, or
any other engine trouble, such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme-
diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. Have an inspection
made by your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
(9) In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
burnt smell may indicate severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be
stopped in a safe place, the engine
switched off and the vehicle allowed to
cool. Once the engine is cool, a ser-
vice, including a tune-up to manufac-
turer’s specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
Economical driving
EC19AAX
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be met.
The prerequisite for low fuel consumption
is a properly adjusted engine. In order to
achieve longer life of the vehicle and the
most economical operation, have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer at regular intervals in
accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust
gas and noise are highly influenced by per-
sonal driving habits as well as the particu-
lar operating conditions. The following
points should be observed in order to mini-
mize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollu-
tion.
(1)Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden
starts; such operation will result in
higher fuel consumption.
(2)Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the high-
est gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to
“2H”when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible
fuel economy.(3)City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel consump-
tion. Use roads with smooth traffic flow
whenever possible. When driving on
congested roads, avoid use of a low
gear at high engine speeds.
(4)Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even dur-
ing idling. Avoid extended idling when-
ever possible.
(5)Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more
fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full
speed. Even a slight release of the
accelerator pedal will save a signifi-
cant amount of fuel.
(6)Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.

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.
