Cargo loads precautions CAUTION
l
When
loading
luggage, be
careful to the
following. • Stow cargo and luggage in the cargoarea whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury. Trailer towing (Except for
vehicles for Morocco) E00610000521
In order to tow a

trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should
be

fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE l If
you are going to

tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
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 lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight” on page 9-10.)
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 in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications
See
the following table
for

fixing points (A) for the
towing bar.

l The
values under item 7,

plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size,
optional equipment and suspension condi-
tions. Operating hints
l Do
not let the
clutch
slip (vehicles with a M/
a only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed for trailer operation.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly. l
To make full use
of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption. Starting and driving

Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission
It is recommended the “2”
(SECOND) position
(4A/T) or 2 nd
gear in sports mode (5A/T) on slopes
or at low speed. Use the “L” (LOW) position
(4A/T) or 1 st
gear in sports mode (5A/T) in moun-
tainous 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 maxi-
mum speed limit for the selected gear. Starting and driving
