NOTElThe engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a batterycable when the check engine warning lamp
is ON.Charge warning display
E00502700472
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has
started.
CAUTIONl If it illuminates while the engine is running,
there is a problem in the charging system. In
this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800529
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it illuminates
while the engine is running,
the oil pressure is too low. Turn the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUTIONl This warning lamp does not indicate the
amount of oil level in the engine. This must
be determined by checking the oil level on the dipstick, while the engine is switched off.
l If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
level is not low, have it inspected.
l If you continue driving with low engine oil
level or with this warning lamp illuminated,
engine seizure may occur.Door ajar warning lamp
E00503300635
This lamp illuminates when
a door or the backdoor is ei-
ther open or incompletely closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximately
8 km/h (5 mph) with a door or the backdoor open or incompletely closed, the warning
lamp flashes 8 times and a buzzer simultane- ously sounds 8 times as a warning.CAUTIONl Before moving your vehicle, check that the
warning lamp is OFF.NOTEl On vehicles with keyless entry system, the
lamp remains illuminated for a certain peri-
od and then goes out automatically.

•Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpet
etc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, we
recommend 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 operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af- fected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-11.
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 expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between
tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-15.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.
l If the tyre inflation pressure is inappro-
priate, the transfer gear may make some
noise and shock while changing the drive mode.CAUTIONl 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 possi- ble damage to the drive system.Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to
have it done by your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized 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 re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.
Only when you cannot receive a towing serv- ice from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or commercial tow truck
service, tow your vehicle carefully in accord- ance with the instructions given in “Towing”
on page 8-16.Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles
6-38OVWE16E1Starting and driving6

NOTElTo prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Before using an automatic car wash, remove
the roof carrier.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) when installing a roof carrier.Trailer towing
E00610000550
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 Au-
thorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTIONl 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” position.
Selecting the “2H” drive may increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in pos-sible damage 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.
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 listed in the specifications. (Referto “Vehicle weight” on page 11-07 .)
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 increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-
cations
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

3.Confirm that the cooling fan is turning.
If the fan is not turning, stop the engine
immediately and have it checked.
A- Radiator fan B- Air conditioning condenser fan (if so equipped)
*: Front of the vehicle
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.

CAUTIONlNote that the support bar may disengage the
bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by astrong wind.
l After inserting the support bar into the slot,
make sure the bar supports the bonnet se-
curely from falling down on to your head or body.
To close
1. Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its
holder.
2. Slowly lower the bonnet to a position
about 20 cm above the closed position,
then let it drop.
3. Make sure the bonnet is securely locked
by softly lifting the centre of the bonnet.
NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down the bonnet hard with a
hand as it may damage the bonnet.CAUTIONl Be careful that hands or fingers are not trap-
ped when closing the bonnet.Engine oil

The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom-
mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.

4.Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.
Use only the recommended oils with an ACEA or API classification as specified inthis manual.NOTEl For 3200 models, check or refill the oil ac-
cording to the following manner.
• When the oil level is checked in step 6
above, check it on a low side of the dip-
stick because it is different in appearance
of oil level in the two sides of the dip-
stick.
• On vehicles without diesel particulate fil-
ter (DPF), the oil level should be within the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.NOTE• On vehicles with DPF, the oil level should
be within the range (A) to (C) (oil re-
placement indication mark) on the dip- stick.
If the oil level is beyond the oil replace-
ment indication mark (C), replace the oil as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the
maximum level (B).
• On vehicles with DPF, the engine oil will
increase due to a little fuel getting mixed in the engine oil when the DPF regener-
ates to burn away the PM (particulate
matter). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re- quiring earlier oil replacement. Please referto the maintenance schedule.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 2-05.Selection of engine oil
Petrol-powered vehicles
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos- pheric temperature.
SAE 0W-20*, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40 engine oils can only be used if
they meet ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5 and API SM (or higher) specifi-
cations.
*: Only the vehicles complying with the Euro 5 regulation
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • API classification: “For service SM”
or higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
