NOTE
(1) In certain cases immediately after the engine hasbeen started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by
operation of brake devices may be heard com-
ing from the engine compartment. This type of
noise is normal and is no need for concern in
fact, it indicates that the corresponding devices
are operating normally. (This applies to vehicles
fitted with anti-lock brake system)
(2) On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brake sys-
tem, the brake system uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump.
Please refer to the “Brake system ”on page 5-44.Oil pressure warning lamp - red
ED25A-Ah
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned “ON ”, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, turn the engine off and contact your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
CAUTION
(1)If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil level is not low, contact your nearest autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
(2)This warning lamp does not indicate the amount of oil in the crankcase. This must
be determined by checking the oil level on
the dipstick, while the engine is switched
off.
(3)If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illumi-
nated, engine seizure may occur.
NOTE
The oil pressure warning lamp should not be treated
as an indication of the engine ’s oil level. The oil level
must be checked using the dipstick.

Correct 4-wheel drive
operation
EI32ABCa
By shifting lock to 4-wheel drive, both axles
of the vehicle are rigidly connected with
each other. This improves the traction char-
acteristics. When turning sharp corners or
moving forward and backward repeat-
edly, however, the drive line is stressed,
which is felt as a braking effect. A 4-wheel
drive vehicle can accelerate more quickly
and smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance is
not shorter than that of a rear-wheel drive
vehicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads
(snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is important to
operate the vehicle correctly.
NOTE
(1) The driving posture should be more
upright and closer to the wheel than
usual; adjust the seat to a good posi-
tion for easy steering and pedal opera-
tion. Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) After driving on rough roads, check
each part of the vehicle and wash it
thoroughly with water. Refer to the sec-
tions“Vehicle care”and“Inspection and
maintenance following rough road
operation”.
Driving on dry paved road and high-
waySelect“2H”(part time 4WD),“2H”or“4H”
(super select 4WD II) to drive on a dry
paved road. Especially on dry highway,
never select the“4H”or“4L”(part time
4WD),“4HLc”or“4LLc”(super select 4WD
II).
CAUTION
Selecting“4H”or“4L”(part time
4WD),“4HLc”or“4LLc”(super select
4WD II), to drive on dry paved road
will increase the fuel consumption
with possible noise generation and
early tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential
oil temperature, resulting in pos-
sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be sub-
jected to excessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.Driving on snowy or icy roadsSet the transfer shift lever to“4H”or“4L”
(part time 4WD),“4H”or“4HLc”(super
select 4WD II) in accordance with the road
conditions, and then gradually depress the
accelerator pedal for a smooth start.NOTE
(1) The use of snow tyres and/or tyre
chains is recommended.
(2) In order to ensure that the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) will operate cor-
rectly in situations where tyre chains
have been fitted, drive in“4H”or“4L”
for part time 4WD, or in“4H”,“4HLc”or
“4LLc”for super select 4WD II.
(3) Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and
use engine braking (downshifting).
CAUTION
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accel-
eration, and sharp turning; such
operations could cause skidding and
spinouts.Driving on sandy or muddy roadsSet the transfer shift lever to“4H”or“4L”
(part time 4WD),“4HLc”or“4LLc”(super
select 4WD II), and then gradually depress
the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal
as constant as possible, and drive at low
speed.

Type 2On the aluminium wheel type vehicle (Type
2), temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flanges of the wheel nuts
come into contact with the wheel.
NOTE
(1) Flange nuts (Type 2) can be tempo-
rarily used on the steel wheel, but
return to the original wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
(2) If all four wheels on vehicles with flange
nuts (Type 2) are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts (Type 1).
CAUTION
Never apply oil to either wheel bolts
or nuts, as it will cause them to over-
tighten.
N24A286A
9. Lower the vehicle slowly and then
tighten the nuts crisscross in two or
three steps until each nut has been
tightened securely.
Tightening torque:
98 to 118 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 370 to
430 N at the end of the wheel nut
wrench supplied with the vehicle)
CAUTION
Never use extra force by your foot to
the wheel nut wrench or by using a
pipe extension as you can over-
tighten the nut.
10. Lower and remove the jack and stow
the jack, jack handle, wheel nut wrench
and flat tyre wheel. Have the flat tyre
repaired as soon as possible.
N24A100A
11. Check tyre inflation pressure. The infla-
tion pressure specification is shown on
the label. Refer to the illustration.

Engine coolant
EM36A-Tb
A translucent coolant reserve tank is
located in the engine compartment. The
coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the“LOW”and“FULL”marks
when measured while the engine is cold .
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, have
the system checked at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the“LOW”
level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely
empty, remove the radiator cap and add
coolant until the level reaches the filler
neck.
WARNING
Do not open the radiator cap while
the engine is hot. The coolant sys-
tem is under pressure and any hot
coolant escaping could cause severe
burns.Anti-freezeThe engine coolant contains an ethylene
glycol anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder
head and water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the
engine coolant is necessary to prevent cor-
rosion of these parts.
Use DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE
COOLANT or equivalent.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolant has excel-
lent protection against corrosion and rust
formation of all metals including alu-
minium and can avoid clogs in the radia-
tor, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this
anti-corrosion agent, the coolant must not
be replaced with plain water even in sum-
mer. The required concentration of
anti-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.Ambient temperature
(minimum)°C–15–20–25–30–35–50
Anti-freeze
concentration %30 35 40 45 50 60
CAUTION
(1) Do not use alcohol or metha-
nol anti-freeze or any engine
coolants mixed with alcohol or
methanol anti-freeze. The use of
an improper anti-freeze can
cause corrosion of the alu-
minium components.
(2) For effective anti-corrosion and
anti-freeze performance, keep
the anti-freeze concentration
within the range of 30 to 60%.
Concentrations exceeding 60%
will result in a reduction of both
the anti-freeze and cooling per-
formance thus adversely affect-
ing the engine.
(3) Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the
rust-protective and anti-freeze
qualities of the coolant and has
a lower boiling point. It can also
cause damage to the cooling
system if it should freeze. Do not
use tapwater, as it can cause
corrosion and rust formation.
