(8) Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or that
there is unnecessary engine rotation, or
any other engine trouble, such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme-
diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. Have an inspection
made by your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
(9) In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
burnt smell may indicate severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be
stopped in a safe place, the engine
switched off and the vehicle allowed to
cool. Once the engine is cool, a ser-
vice, including a tune-up to manufac-
turer’s specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
Economical driving
EC19AAX
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be met.
The prerequisite for low fuel consumption
is a properly adjusted engine. In order to
achieve longer life of the vehicle and the
most economical operation, have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer at regular intervals in
accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust
gas and noise are highly influenced by per-
sonal driving habits as well as the particu-
lar operating conditions. The following
points should be observed in order to mini-
mize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollu-
tion.
(1)Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden
starts; such operation will result in
higher fuel consumption.
(2)Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the high-
est gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to
“2H”when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible
fuel economy.(3)City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel consump-
tion. Use roads with smooth traffic flow
whenever possible. When driving on
congested roads, avoid use of a low
gear at high engine speeds.
(4)Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even dur-
ing idling. Avoid extended idling when-
ever possible.
(5)Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more
fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full
speed. Even a slight release of the
accelerator pedal will save a signifi-
cant amount of fuel.
(6)Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.

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.

CAUTION
(1) Do not force the vehicle or drive
recklessly on sandy surfaces. In
comparison with normal road
surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are
put under excessive strain when
driving on such a surface, and
this could lead to accidents.
(2) If any of following conditions
occur while the vehicle is being
driven, immediately park your
vehicle in a safe place and fol-
low these procedures:
•The needle in the tempera-
ture gauge approaches the
overheating zone.
Refer to the“Engine
overheating”on page 8-21.
•A/T fluid temperature warning
lamp illuminates.
Refer to the“A/T fluid tempera-
ture warning lamp”on page
4-11.
WARNING
When attempting to rock your vehicle
out of a stuck position, be sure that
the area around the vehicle is clear of
people and physical objects. The
rocking motion may cause the
vehicle to suddenly launch forward
or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
NOTE
(1) Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in
the vehicle becoming stuck.
(2) If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy
or muddy roads, it can often be moved
a rocking motion. Move the selector
lever rhythmically between the“D”
(DRIVE) and“R”(REVERSE) posi-
tion (with manual transmission,
between 1st and Reverse), while apply-
ing slight pressure to the accelerator
pedal.
(3) It is recommended to start the vehicle
with parking brake partially, but not
completely, applied by slightly pulling
the parking brake lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do
not forget to release the parking brake.NOTE
(4) If it is necessary to drive in extremely
muddy conditions, the use of tyre
chains is recommended. Because the
extent of muddy conditions is difficult to
judge and the vehicle could become
bogged down very deeply, operation
should be at a low speed. If possible,
get out of the vehicle and check the
conditions ahead before proceeding.
(5) Driving over roads in coastal areas or
roads on which anti-skid preparations
have been spread can cause rust on
the vehicle; wash the vehicle thor-
oughly as soon as possible after such
use.
Climbing sharp gradesSet the transfer shift lever to“4L”(part time
4WD) or“4LLc”(super select 4WD II) to
maximize the engine torque.
WARNING
(1) Go straight up. Do not try to
traverse across a steep slope.
(2) If you begin to lose traction, ease
off the accelerator pedal and
gently turn the steering wheel
alternatively left and right to
regain adequate traction again.

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.

On a flooded road(1) Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in tempo-
rarily ineffective brakes. In such cases,
lightly depress the brake pedal to see
if the brakes operate properly. If they do
not, lightly depress the pedal several
times while driving in order to dry the
brake pads.
(2) When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may
form between the tyres and the road
surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resis-
tance on the road, resulting in loss of
steering stability and braking capabil-
ity.
To cope with this, observe the follow-
ing items:
(a)Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.
(b)Do not drive on worn tyres. Always
maintain the specified tyre inflation
pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road(1) When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you
use snow tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the“Snow tyres”and“Tyre
chains”sections.
(2) Avoid high-speed operation, sudden
acceleration, abrupt brake applica-
tion and sharp cornering.
(3) Depressing the brake pedal during
travel on such a road may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction
between the tyres and the road is
reduced the wheels may skid and the
vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking tech-
niques. Braking will differ, depending
upon whether you have anti-lock
brakes (ABS). If you do have ABS,
brake by pressing the brake pedal
hard, and keeping it pressed. If you do
not have ABS, pump the brake pedal
with short rapid jabs, each time fully
applying and fully releasing for great-
est effect.
(4) Allow extra distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you,
and avoid sudden braking.

CAUTION
(1) Grasp the spare wheel firmly
when removing or attaching it.
(2) When removing the spare wheel,
put on gloves. Removing the
spare wheel with your hands
may cause injury to the fin-
gers.
(3) Check the air pressure of the
spare wheel frequently and
make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Driving with an insufficient tyre
pressure can lead to an acci-
dent. If you have no choice but
to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down
and inflate the tyre to the cor-
rect pressure as soon as pos-
sible. (Refer to“Tyre inflation
pressure”on page 9-14.)
Maintaining the spare wheel at
the highest specified air pres-
sure will ensure that it can
always be used under any con-
ditions (city/high-speed driv-
ing, varying load weight, etc.)

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.
