3. Altimeter
This displays the altitude at the vehicle’s
current position.
Changing the unit: pressing the selection
button (A) for more than 3 seconds
changes the altimeter unit between metres
and feet.NOTE
(1) The altimeter displays altitude to the
nearest 50 metres (200 feet). When the
vehicle is below sea level, the alti-
tude is shown as 0 metres (0 feet).
(2) The altimeter works by using changes
in atmospheric pressure. This means it
may be affected by changes in the
weather and other conditions, and
show a figure different from the real alti-
tude.
(3) Fluctuations in air pressure may change
the figure displayed even when the
vehicle remains in the same place. This
does not mean a fault with the sys-
tem.

When the fan speed dial and the ventila-
tor dial are set to “AUT ”, setting the tem-
perature control knob will produce
automatic selection of the ventilators
(excluding

adjustment of the air conditioner and out-
side air introduction.
This part of the manual concerns dis-
plays. To find out how best to use the air
ventilators, the switches and the air con-
ditioning, refer to “Automatic air

8. Air conditioning operation indicator
This illuminates when the air conditioning
is operating.
CAUTION
In the 3500 models, if the air condi-
tioning operation indicator blinks on
and off, there may be a fault with the
air conditioner. If this happens, stop
the vehicle in a safe place, switch the
engine off, then switch it on again. If
the air conditioning operation indi-
cator stops blinking after this, there
is nothing wrong. If it starts blink-
ing again, have the air conditioning
system checked at an authorised
MITSUBISHI dealer.
After disconnecting the battery

When the battery cable is disconnected, the
stored data may disappear. In this case,
take the following action.
Checking connection of system
When the stored data has disappeared,
turning the ignition key to“ACC”position
will make the message above appear.
Please move on to the following steps.

(7)Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Espe-
cially during city driving where fre-
quent starting and stopping is
necessary, the increased weight of the
vehicle will greatly affect fuel consump-
tion. Also avoid driving with unneces-
sary luggage, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.
(8)Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also
caused by keeping a hot engine run-
ning. After the engine is started, com-
mence driving as soon as possible.
(9)Air conditioning*
The use of the air conditioning will
increase the fuel consumption.(10)Driving techniques for
engine
To take maximum advantage of the
fuel efficiency and other benefits of
the
engine, please
observe the following guidelines:
•TheECO indication lamp
in the meter cluster illuminates when
the vehicle is driven in a
fuel-efficient, environment-friendly
manner. Try to drive such that the
lamp is illuminated as much as pos-
sible. In particular, you should avoid
sudden starts and rapid accelera-
tion.
ECO indication lamp
→P.4-13
•Use of the air conditioner causes
fuel consumption and
carbon-dioxide emissions to
increase significantly. Avoid using
the air conditioner to cool the cabin
more than necessary.

Trailer towing
EC21AOIa
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, mounted
at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country.
You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTION
Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
[For super select 4WD models]
When you are going to tow a trailer,
move the transfer shift lever to“4H”
position.
Selecting“2H”drive may increase
the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driv-
ing system.
Further, the drive train will be sub-
jected to excessive loading possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
NOTE
Fitting of a towing bar requires special-
ized skills and equipment.
Contact an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
for details. If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following points.

Item 8, 13: 5-door models only
Item 10: at kerb weight
NOTE
The values under Item 10 are applicable to
unladen vehicles. These values can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional
equipment and suspension conditions.
Operating hints(1) Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with
a manual transmission only) and do not
increase the engine speed more than
necessary when starting.
(2) 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 trailer is limited to less
than 100 km/h (62 mph).
(3) To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly
at first and then more strongly.
(4) To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before
descending a slope.
(5) The body, brakes, clutch, and chas-
sis will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
(6) The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion
The 2nd gear (in sports mode) is recom-
mended on slopes or at low speed. Use the
1st gear (in sports mode) in mountainous
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.

Operation of the automatic trans-
mission INVECS II Sport Mode 5A/T
EI04D-Ch
CAUTION
(1) Before selecting a gear with the
engine running and the vehicle
stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move
as soon as the gear is engaged,
especially when the engine
speed is high, at fast idle or with
the air conditioning operating,
the brakes should only be
released when you are ready to
drive away.
(2) Depress the brake pedal with the
right foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause
driver movement delay in case
of an emergency.
(3) To prevent sudden accelera-
tion, never race the engine when
shifting from the“P”(PARK) or
“N”(NEUTRAL).
CAUTION
(4) Operating the accelerator pedal
while the other foot is resting on
the brake pedal will affect brak-
ing efficiency and may cause
premature wear of brake pads.
Do not race the engine with
brake pedal pressed.
This can damage the transmis-
sion.Passing acceleration
EI04F-P
To gain extra acceleration in“D”(DRIVE)
position (when passing another vehicle)
push the accelerator to the floor. The auto-
matic transmission will automatically down-
shift.
NOTE
In sports mode, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving
EI04O-Ia
DRIVING UPHILL
The transmission may not upshift to a
higher gear if the computer determines the
current speed cannot be maintained once
a higher gear is engaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you
release the throttle while climbing a steep
grade, the transmission may not upshift.
This is normal, as the computer is tempo-
rarily preventing shifting. After reaching the
top of the hill, normal gear shift function will
resume.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When travelling down steep grades, the
computer may automatically select a lower
gear. This function assists engine brak-
ing efforts, reducing the need for using the
brakes.
