Running-in recommendations
EA01AOIa
During the running-in period for the first
1, 000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to
drive your new vehicle using the follow-
ing precautions as a guideline to aid long
life as well as future economy and perfor-
mance.
(1) Do not race the engine at high speeds.
(2) Avoid rapid starting, accelerating, brak-
ing and prolonged high-speed run-
ning.
(3) Keep to the running-in speed limit
shown below.
Please note that the legal speed lim-
its displayed must be adhered to.
(4) Do not exceed loading limits.
(5) Refrain from towing a trailer.Vehicle with manual transmission

(7)Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Espe-
cially during city driving where fre-
quent starting and stopping is
necessary, the increased weight of the
vehicle will greatly affect fuel consump-
tion. Also avoid driving with unneces-
sary luggage, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.
(8)Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also
caused by keeping a hot engine run-
ning. After the engine is started, com-
mence driving as soon as possible.
(9)Air conditioning*
The use of the air conditioning will
increase the fuel consumption.(10)Driving techniques for
engine
To take maximum advantage of the
fuel efficiency and other benefits of
the
engine, please
observe the following guidelines:
•TheECO indication lamp
in the meter cluster illuminates when
the vehicle is driven in a
fuel-efficient, environment-friendly
manner. Try to drive such that the
lamp is illuminated as much as pos-
sible. In particular, you should avoid
sudden starts and rapid accelera-
tion.
ECO indication lamp
→P.4-13
•Use of the air conditioner causes
fuel consumption and
carbon-dioxide emissions to
increase significantly. Avoid using
the air conditioner to cool the cabin
more than necessary.

Trailer towing
EC21AOIa
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, mounted
at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country.
You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTION
Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
[For super select 4WD models]
When you are going to tow a trailer,
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
Fitting of a towing bar requires special-
ized skills and equipment.
Contact an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
for details. If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following points.
Starting and driving
5-8Div:
Out put date:

Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weightNever exceed the maximum towable
weight with brake and the maximum
trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifi-
cations. (Refer to page 10-7,10-8)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more
than 1000m above sea-level, reduce your
weight by 10% of the gross combination
weight for every increase of 1000m above
sea-level, as the engine output is low-
ered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure.

Item 10: at kerb weight
NOTE
The values under Item 10 are applicable to
unladen vehicles. These values can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional
equipment and suspension conditions.
Operating hints(1) Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with
a manual transmission only) and do not
increase the engine speed more than
necessary when starting.
(2) Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed the 100 km/h (62 mph) for
trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey
the local regulations in case driving
speed with a trailer is limited to less
than 100 km/h (62 mph).
(3) To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly
at first and then more strongly.
(4) To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before
descending a slope.
(5) The body, brakes, clutch, and chas-
sis will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
(6) The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion
The 2nd gear (in sports mode) is recom-
mended on slopes or at low speed. Use the
1st gear (in sports mode) in mountainous
areas in order to make better use of engine
braking and to assist the brake system.
However, be sure that the speed does not
exceed the maximum speed limit for the
selected gear.

(7) Turn on the hazard warning lamps if
required by law. (Follow the local driv-
ing laws and regulations.)
(8) During towing make sure that close
contact is maintained between the driv-
ers of both vehicles, and that the
vehicles travel at low speed. Avoid
abrupt starting or stopping.
WARNING
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accel-
eration and sharp turning ; such
operation could cause damage to the
towing hooks or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured
as a result.
CAUTION
When going down a long slope, the
brakes may overheat, reducing effec-
tiveness. Have your vehicle towed on
a trailer.(9) Towing should only be done by a pro-
fessional tow service if it will involve
towing on winding roads, hills or in
heavy traffic. If you have any doubts,
use a professional tow service.
(10) When the front towing hooks are used,
be very careful so that the rope may
not cause damage to the body.
CAUTION
To prevent entry of exhaust gas from
the towing vehicle, set your air selec-
tion switch to the recirculation posi-
tion.

If your vehicle tows another vehicle
The towing hooks are located as shown in
the illustrations. Attach the tow rope to the
towing hooks.
