pressor is not operating, the system will just operate as a blower.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning E00708302261
lPark the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature should
only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec- ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant
leak. We recommend you to have the system inspected.
[Except for vehicles equipped with air condi- tioning refrigerant (HFO-1234yf) label]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant ND-OIL8.
[Vehicles equipped with air conditioning re- frigerant (HFO-1234yf) label]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFO-1234yf and the lubricant ND-OIL12.
Refer to “Refill capacities” on page 11-14.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent the compressor
from seizing and to maintain the air condi- tioning in the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with
deodorizing function) E00708400183
An air filter is incorporated into the air condi-tioning system to remove pollen, dust, tobac-
co smells and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and
dirt is reduced as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to reduction of
service life of the filter. When the air flow rate suddenly drops or when the windscreenor windows start to fog up easily, the air fil-
ter requires replacement. We recommend
you to have it checked.

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.

WARNINGlBe sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEl The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle
and wheel nut wrench ready.
Refer to “Tool, jack and jack handle” on page 8-07.
Spare wheel information
E00803600266
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,etc.).
The spare wheel is stored on the outside of
the backdoor. (Refer to “To remove the spare wheel” on page 8-10).
1- Spare wheel
CAUTIONl The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead to an accident. If you have nochoice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-11.)To remove the spare wheel
E00803500177
CAUTIONl Grasp the spare wheel firmly when remov-
ing or attaching it.
l When removing the spare wheel, put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with your
bare hands may cause injury to the fingers.
1. Open the backdoor.
2. Open the lids (A) inside of the backdoor.

NOTElDo not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.Operation under adverse
driving conditions E00801704160
If your vehicle becomes stuck
in sand, mud or snow
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,
or mud, it can often be moved with a rocking
motion. Move the selector lever alternately
between the Sports mode and “R” (RE- VERSE) position, while applying slight pres-sure to the accelerator pedal.
Avoid racing the engine or spinning the
wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve-hicle may result in overheating, transmission
and drivetrain failure. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to let the transmissioncool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, seek other assistance.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-ward or backward, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.
On a flooded road
l Avoid flooded roads. In the event driv-
ing flooded roads, doing so may causethe following serious damage to the ve-
hicle. • Engine stalling
• Short in electrical components
• Engine damage caused by water im-
mersion
After driving on flooded roads, be sure
to have an inspection at an Authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer and takethe necessary measures or repair.
l When driving in rain, or water-covered
roads, or through a car wash, water could enter the brake discs, resulting in
temporarily ineffective brakes.
In such cases, lightly depress the brake
pedal to see if the brakes operate proper- ly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in or-
der to dry the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items: (a)Drive your vehicle at slow
speed. (b)Do not drive on worn tyres. (c)Always maintain the specified
tyre inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen
road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or tyre chains.

Service precautionsE01000102696
Adequate care of your vehicle at regular in- tervals serves to preserve the value and ap-
pearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this own- er’s manual can be performed by the owner.We recommend you to have the periodic in-
spection and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist. In the event a malfunction or other problem is discovered,
we recommend you to have it checked and repaired. This section contains information on inspection maintenance procedures that you can do yourself. Follow the instructions
and cautions for each of the various proce-
dures.WARNINGl When checking or servicing the inside of
the engine compartment, make sure the engine is switched off and has had achance to cool down.
l If it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the engine running, be
especially careful that your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the fans,
drive belts, or other moving parts.WARNINGl After performing the maintenance, make
sure that no tools or cloths are left behindin the engine compartment.
If they are left behind, a fire or damage to
the vehicle may occur.

Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.

Wheel condition
E01001800478
1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other
damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep
cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous
because of the greater chance of skidding or
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the
minimum requirement for use. When these
wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-
placed with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is nec- essary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands or
degree of wear, will increase the differential
oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, possi- bly leading to oil leakage, component seiz-ure, or other serious faults.

Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201530
CAUTIONlAvoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-11.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor- rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 6-48.
Wheel balance
On vehicles equipped with 17x7 1/2J size
aluminium wheels (round rim type), if you
need to balance a wheel, put the balance weight (A) on the specified position which is
spoke side from the notch (B) on the inner surface of the wheel.
There is a possibility that the balance weight
is interfered the related brake part if it is put
any place other than the specified position.
For details, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Tyre rotation
E01001901203
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.Spare tyre used*Spare tyre not usedTyres that have arrows showing rotation directionFrontFrontFront
