Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you tohave 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.
CAUTIONl Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to the
“2H” position. Never try to tow with the transfer shift lever in the “4H”, “4HLc” or
“4LLc” positions and with any of the wheels
on the ground (Type A or B). This could re- sult in damage to the vehicle’s driving sys- tem, or the vehicle could become separated from the tow truck and unexpected accident
might result.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to “2H” position or the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with all the wheels on a carriage (Type C
or D) as illustrated.If you can shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position.If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H”
position.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNINGl Do not crank the engine while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles
6-34OVWX17E1Starting and driving6

CAUTIONlIf the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position. When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-16.Cruise control*
E00609102382
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet,
slippery, on a steep downhill slope.NOTEl Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.Cruise control switches

CAUTIONlThe reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do
not place excessive confidence in the revers- ing sensor system and operate the vehicle ascarefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing sensor system alone.Corner and back sensor loca-
tions
E00618500014
There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor- ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the spare wheel garnish.
Obstacle detection areas
E00615600261
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il-
lustration. Because the back sensors are built in the overhanging area of the vehicle (spare
wheel garnish), the sensors are unable to de- tect low or thin obstacles, or obstacles on the
bottom of the spare wheel garnish or the bot-
tom of the centre of the rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check the surroundings as you
operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Reversing sensor system detec- tion areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towing bar mode. The towing
bar mode changes the system to exclude the area in which the towing bar is mounted from the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C) are within approximately 20 cm (D)
from the bumper.
Reversing sensor system*
6-53OVWX17E1Starting and driving6

It will flash in case there is a malfunction in
the system. For details, refer to “SONAR
OFF indication lamp” on page 6-56.
To return the system to the operating state, push the “SONAR” switch again. When the
system returns to the operating state, the buz- zer sounds once and the “SONAR OFF” indi-
cation lamp turns off.
NOTEl The “SONAR OFF” indication lamp flashes
once when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position.
The warning buzzer sounds when the system
detects an obstacle during operation.
NOTEl After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord-ing to the detection area setting.
• Setting when towing bar is not equipped
When the selector lever is moved to the
“R” (REVERSE) position, the reversing sensor system will operate even if the cor-
ner sensor operation was stopped by push-
ing the “SONAR” switch.
• Setting when towing bar is equipped
When reversing sensor system operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch, the reversing sensor system will not operate until the engine has been stop- ped even if the selector lever is moved to
the “R” (REVERSE) position.
To resume reversing sensor system opera- tion, push the “SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the
gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position.

seconds or more.“SONAR OFF” indication
lamp
E00615901362
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing
sensor system, the “SONAR OFF” indicationlamp will flash and the warning buzzer willsound for approximately 5 seconds. Even af-ter the buzzer has stopped sounding, the indi-
cation lamp will continue flashing until the
system reverts to the normal state. We rec- ommend you to have your vehicle inspection.
Rear-view camera*
E00618402277
The rear-view camera is a system that showsthe view behind the vehicle on a screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS), the DISPLAY AUDIO or the
Smartphone Link Display Audio.
CAUTIONl The rear-view camera is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for ob- stacles behind the vehicle. Its range of view
is limited, so you should not overly depend on it. Please drive just as carefully as you
would if the vehicle did not have the rear-
view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around the
vehicle with your own eyes. Do not depend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view
camera
The range of view of the rear-view camera is
limited to the area shown in the illustrations.
Because the camera is built in the overhang- ing area of the vehicle (spare wheel garnish),it cannot show the bottom of the spare wheel
garnish and the right behind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor).
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm
safety around the vehicle.
