Inspection and main
tenance following
rough road operation
E00606700048
After operating the vehicle in rough road conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures: ●
Check that the vehicle has not been damaged by rocks, gravel, etc.
●
Carefully wash the vehicle with water. After washing, drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, we recommend you to have the brakes checked as soon as possible.
●
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clogging the radiator core.
●
After crossing a stream, be sure to have the following items inspected at a MITS
UBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and take the necessary measures. • Check the brake system and,
if necessary, have it serv-
iced. • Check the engine, transmissi
on, transfer, and differential
oil or grease level and turbid
ity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water co
ntamination. Replace it with
new oil or grease. • Grease the propeller shaft.• Check the inside of the vehi
cle. If ingress of water is
found, dry the carpet etc. • Inspect the headlamps. If th
e headlamp bulb is flooded
with water, we recommend you to have it drained.
Cautions on handling
of 4-wheel drive
vehicles
E00606800401
Tyres and wheelsSince the driving torque can be
applied to the 4 wheels, the per-
formance of the vehicle when
operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by th
e condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres. ●
Install specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and
wheels” on page 9-13.
●
Be sure to fit all 4 tyres an
d wheels of the same size and
type. When replacement of any of th
e tyres or wheels is neces-
sary, replace all of them.
●
All tyres should be rotated
whenever the wear difference
between the front and rear tyres is recognizable.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leakageLook under the body of your vehicle to check for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks.Exterior and interior lamp operationOperate the combination lamp sw
itch to check that all lamps
are functioning properly. If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb. Check
the fuses first. If there is no
blown fuses, check the lamp bulbs. For information regarding th

Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100521
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evapor
ate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on th
e reflector and dim the surface.
NOTE●
Do not attempt to repair or
replace the lamp bulbs other
than described in this owner’s manual. For repair or replacement, contact a MITS
UBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
●
If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, we recommend you to consult a specialist.
●
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a lamp or lens.
●
When it rains or when the
vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem.When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recom- mend you to have it checked.
