lever.
Keep depressing the clutch pedal while
2WD/4WD indication lamp continues to
blink.Stop the vehicle, shift the selector lever
to the“N”(NEUTRAL) position and oper-
ate the transfer shift lever.
4LLc 4HLcNOTE
(1) Shifting of the lever between“2H”↔“4H”↔“4HLc”should only be made at speeds
below 100 km/h (62 mph).
(2) When shifting from“2H”to“4H”soon after driving the vehicle in cold weather, the trans-
mission gear may make a noise. So try to shift the gear while the vehicle is stopped.
(3) When the lever is shifted from“2H”to“4H”or from“4H”to“4HLc”while the vehicle
is stopped, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp blinks while the selection is in
process.
In this condition, drive slowly and normally after confirming that the lamp is illumi-
nated. (Refer to the“2WD/4WD operation indication lamp”on page 5-31.)
(4) Do not move the selector lever while the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp is flash-
ing.

NOTE
(1)
The 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
blinks while the selection is in process.
Take the following precautions when the
lamp is blinking.
•Keep the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position while making range
selections. If you attempt to drive for-
ward with the steering wheel turned,
gear rattling may occur and the desired
range may not actually be selected.
•If the front wheel and/or centre differ-
ential lock lamps continue flashing after
a“2H”↔“4H”↔“4HLc”selection has
been made with the vehicle moving,
hold the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position and slowly depress the
accelerator pedal several times.
•If, after a“4HLc”↔“4LLc”selection has
been made, the front and rear wheel
lamps continue flashing and the desired
range is not actually selected, return the
transfer shift lever to its previous posi-
tion, place the steering wheel in the
straight ahead position, drive the vehicle
forward, and release the accelerator
pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal
(in a manual transmission vehicle) or
place the selector lever in the“N”
(NEUTRAL) position (in an automatic
transmission vehicle) and make the
range selection again.
I30B012A
NOTE
(2)
If the front and rear wheel lamps flash
rapidly (twice per second) when you
attempt to make a“4HLc”↔“4LLc”
selection cannot be made. Stop the
vehicle and release the accelerator pedal.
Next, hold down the clutch pedal (in a
manual transmission vehicle) or place the
selector lever in the“N”(NEUTRAL) posi-
tion (in an automatic transmission vehicle)
and make the range selection again.
I30B013A
CAUTION
If a problem is detected in the trans-
fer system and safety device oper-
ates, the front and rear wheel lamps
will go off, the centre differential lock
lamp will blink (once per second),
and the transfer shifting becomes
impossible.
In this case, park your vehicle in a
safe place and follow these
procedures:
Turn off the engine. Restart the
engine and check to see if the lamp
returns to the previous condition,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp blinks again,
have the vehicle checked by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.

Cautions on handling of 4WD
vehicles
EI49A-Xa
Tyre and disc wheelsSince the driving torque can be applied to
the 4 wheels, the performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4WD is greatly
affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
•Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer
to“Tyre and wheels”on page 10-10.
•Be sure to equip the car with all four tyres
and wheels of the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
•All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between front and rear
tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tyres. Refer to the“Tyre rotation”
on page 9-15.
•Check the tyre inflation pressure regu-
larly.
CAUTION
Always use tyres of the same size,
same type, and same brand, which
have no wear differences.
Using the tyres of differ in size, type,
brand or a different degree of wear
will cause excessive loading, result-
ing in possible damage to the drive
system.Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicles
WARNING
Do not crank the engine while jack-
ing up the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and
the vehicle may roll off the jack.Operate clutch pedal slowly and
positivelyQuick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the tractive force is very
great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.

Parking brake
EI07AAEd
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the gearshift lever to 1st (on
an uphill) or Reverse (on a downhill) posi-
tion, for vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion or set the selector lever to“P”(PARK)
position on automatic transmission
vehicles.To apply1- Pull the lever up without pushing the
button at the end of the hand grip.

To release
1- Pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of the hand
grip.
3- Push the lever downward.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking
brake and turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on a downhill grade, away from the
kerb on an uphill grade.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the park-
ing brake is fully released and the
brake warning lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releas-
ing the parking brake, the brake will
be overheated, resulting in ineffec-
tive braking and possible brake fail-
ure.
Parking
EI22A-He
Parking on a slopeFully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to 1st (on an
uphill) or reverse (on a downhill) position on
manual transmission vehicle.
On automatic transmission vehicle, move
the selector lever to“P”(PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, apply chocks to
wheels for greater safety.Parking with the engine runningDo not keep the engine running in a closed
or poorly ventilated place. Carbon monox-
ide gas is odourless and extremely poison-
ous and dangerous.Where you parkDo not park in a place where there are
inflammable objects such as dry grass,
leaves, etc. because the exhaust system
produces very high temperatures. This may
cause a fire.When leaving the vehicleAlways remove the key from the ignition
switch and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.

RHDNOTE
On an air conditioned vehicle, the cool air
from the ventilators may appear as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will clear
after a few moments.
CAUTION
(1) When using the air condition-
ing, the idling speed may slightly
increase as the air condition-
ing compressor is switched
on/off automatically. Especially
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, while the vehicle
is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
CAUTION
(2) On 3500 models, if a problem is
detected in the air conditioning
compressor, the air condition-
ing operation indicator lamp
blinks. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air con-
ditioning operation indicator
lamp does not blink, there is no
problem. If it does blink, have it
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.
2- Blower speed selection dial
There are 4 blower speeds for control of
the amount of air flow.
Adjust the blower speed by turning the
blower speed selection dial clockwise or
anticlockwise.
The setting for ordinary use should be
the first or second speed.
3- Temperature control dial
The heater will not operate if the dial is
set all the way to the left.
The air flow temperature will gradually
increase as the dial is turned to the right.
NOTE
When the engine coolant temperature is
low, temperature of air introduced into the
passenger compartment does not change
even if the temperature control dial is
moved to the high temperature side.
