During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline to aid
long life as well as future
economy and performance. ●
Do not race the engine at high speeds.
●
Avoid rapid starting, accelerat

CAUTION
!●
The “4LLc” range gives maximum torque for low- speed driving on steep slopes, as well as sandy, muddy, and other difficul
t surfaces. On vehicles
with A/T, do not exceed
speeds of approximately
70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.

NOTE●
To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel economy, remove the roof carrier when not in use.
●
Before using an automatic car wash, remove the roof car- rier.
●
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising the sunroof (if so equipped) wh
en installing a roof carrier.
Trailer towing
E00610000039
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regula-tions in each area.
CAUTION
!●
Danger of Accident! A towing bar should be
fitted according to MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. When you are going to tow a trailer, move the trans-fer shift lever to “4H” position. Selecting the “2H” drive ma
y increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, result
ing in possible damage to
the driving system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, componentseizure, or other serious faults.

Maximum towable weight with brake and maxi- mum trailer-nose weightNever exceed the maximum towabl
e weight with brake and the
maximum trailer-nose weight as
listed in the specifications.
(Refer to “Vehicle weight” on page 9-7.)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 combina- tion weight for every increase
of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specificationsSee the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

Operating hints●
Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/T only) and do not increase the engine speed more than necessarywhen starting.
●
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 tr
ailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
●
To prevent shocks from the
overrun brake, depress the
brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
●
To make full use of engine braking, change to a lower gear before descending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with an A/TThe 2nd gear (in “Sports mode”)
is recommended on slopes or
at low speed. Use the 1st gear (i
n “Sports mode”) in mountain-
ous 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.

Tyre inflation pressures
E01001401064
Check the tyre inflation pressure of all th
e tyres while they are cold; if insufficient
or excessive, adjust to the specified v
alue.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been
adjusted, check the tyres for damage and ai
r leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valve
s.
WARNING
!●
Driving with tyres that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated can lead
to a loss of control or
blow out of the tyres which can result in a collision with serious or fatal injury.Ty r e s i z e
