Installation of accessories
EB24A-Cb
Before fitting any accessories, please con-
sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in
your country, and in accordance with
the guidelines and warnings con-
tained within the documents accompa-
nying this vehicle.
Only MITSUBISHI approved accesso-
ries should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modifications/Alterations to the electri-
cal or fuel systems section within this
manual.
(3) When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate exter-
nal antenna must be fitted. When a cel-
lular phone or a radio set is used by
using an internal antenna alone, it may
interfere with the vehicle’s electrical
system and adversely affect safe
operation of the vehicle.
(4) Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the“Specifications”section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.(5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-
tions before first putting into service and
prior to the attachment or installation of
accessories, parts or other modifica-
tions to the vehicle!
Important points!
Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufactur-
ers in the market, it is not possible, not only
for MITSUBISHI, but also an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer, to check whether the
attachment or installation of such parts
affects the driving safety of your
MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially autho-
rized, for example by a“general opera-
tors permit”(an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an offi-
cially approved manner of construction, or
when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts,
it cannot be deduced from that alone, that
the driving safety of your vehicle has not
been affected.Consider also that there basically exists no
liability on the part of the appraiser or the
official. Only in the case of parts
(MITSUBISHI original replacement or
exchange parts as well as MITSUBISHI
accessories) that are recommended and
released by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer and that are attached or installed by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer can you
assume, that optimal safety has been pro-
vided. The same also pertains to modifi-
cations of MITSUBISHI vehicles with
respect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases as well, you
should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

Dipper (High/Low beam change)
EE11B-Ia
When the lamp switch is in the“
”posi-
tion, the beam changes from high to low (or
low to high) each time the lever is pulled to
(1). While the high beam is on, the high
beam indication lamp in the instrument
cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasher
EE11C-Ib
The high beams flash when the lever is
pulled slightly to (2), and will go off when
it is released.
When the high beam is on, the high beam
indication lamp in the instrument cluster will
also illuminate.
NOTE
(1) The high beams can also flash when
the lamp switch is OFF.
(2) If you turn the lamps off with the head-
lamps set to high-beam illumination, the
headlamps are automatically returned
to their low-beam setting when the
lamp switch is next turned to the“
”
position.

Turn/lane-change signals
EE11D-Ja
The turn-signal lamps flash when the switch
is operated (with the ignition switch“ON”).
At the same time, the turn signal indica-
tor flashes.
1- Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use posi-
tion (1). The lever will return automati-
cally when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not
return after cornering. This occurs when
the steering wheel is turned only slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by hand.

Examples of incorrect use of the
rear differential lock
EI34C-Ba
WARNING
If the“4L”,“4LLc”or“4HLc”is
selected and it runs with the state of
the rear differential lock, the follow-
ing phenomena appear and it is very
dangerous.
Please be sure to release the rear dif-
ferential lock on normal roads.
(1)If the rear differential lock is used
by mistake when driving on a
paved road: With the rear differ-
ential lock on, the power to drive
the vehicle straight ahead
becomes very strong, which may
make it difficult to turn the steer-
ing wheel.
I34C015A
WARNING
(2) If the rear differential lock is used
by mistake when turning a curve
or making a right or left turn at
a crossing or the like: The
vehicle is unable to make a turn
and may go straight ahead.
I34C016A
WARNING
(3) If the rear differential lock is used
by mistake except when mak-
ing an emergency escape on
snow or frozen road:
It becomes difficult to make a
steady turn.
(4) In the case where the condition
of the road is different for the
right tyre to drive from the left
tyre (such as one tyre on a
paved road and the other on
ice), direction of the vehicle may
change abruptly when engine
braking or accelerating.
Do not use the rear differential
lock except when making an
emergency escape on a snow or
frozen road, but drive with 4WD.

NOTE
(1) Choose a slope as smooth as pos-
sible with few stones or other
obstacles.
(2) Before attempting to drive up the slope,
walk it up to confirm that the vehicle
can handle the grade.Descending sharp gradesSet the transfer shift lever to“4L”(part time
4WD) or“4LLc”(super select 4WD II), use
the engine brake (downshifting) and
descend slowly.
WARNING
Avoid snaking down a sharp grade.
Descend the grade as straight as
possible.NOTE
(1) When descending a sharp grade, if the
brakes are applied suddenly because
of an obstacle encountered, control of
the vehicle could be lost. Before
descending the slope, walk it down and
confirm the path.
(2) Before descending a grade, it is nec-
essary to choose the appropriate gear.
Avoid changing gears or depressing
the clutch while descending the grade.
(3) MITSUBISHI is not responsible to the
operator for any damage or injury
caused or liability incurred by the
improper and negligent operation of a
vehicle. All techniques of vehicle opera-
tion described herein depend on the
skill and experience of the operator and
other participating parties and any
deviation from the recommended
operation instructions above is at their
own risk.
Turning sharp cornersWhen turning a sharp corner in“4H”or“4L”
position (part time 4WD), or“4HLc”or
“4LLc”position (super select 4WD II) at low
speed, a slight difference in steering may
be experienced similar to as if the brakes
were applied. This is called tight corner
braking and results from each of the four
tyres being at a different distance from the
corner.
The phenomenon is peculiar to 4-wheel
drive vehicles. If this occurs, either
straighten the steering wheel, or change to
rear-wheel drive.
