Charge warning lamp
E00502700472
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started.
Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800529
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates while the engine is running, the oil pressure is too low.Turn the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUTION
!●
If it illuminates while the engine is run- ning, there is a problem in the charg- ing system. In this case, immediatelypark your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
CAUTION
!●
This warning lamp does not indicate the amount of oil le
vel in the engine.
This must be determined by checking the oil level on the
dipstick, while the
engine is switched off.
●
If this lamp illum
inates when the
engine oil level is not low, have itinspected.
●
If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illu-minated, engine seizure may occur.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
*
E00619800027
The diesel particulate filter
(DPF) is a device that captures
most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of
the diesel engine. The DPF auto
matically burns away trapped
PM during vehicle operation. Under certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM and, as a result, an exces
sive amount of PM accumulates
inside it.NOTE●
To minimize the likelihood
of excessive accumulation of
PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly driv
ing short distances.
DPF warning lampThe DPF warning lamp comes on or
flashes in the event of an
abnormality in the DPF system
. Provided the DPF system is
working normally, the DPF warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off a few seconds later.
WARNING
!●
The DPF reaches very high temperatures. Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible mate- rials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTION
!●
Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that is not specified for your vehicle.
Also, do not use any mois-
ture-removing agent or other fuel additive. Such substances could have a de
trimental effect on the
DPF. Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2 and “Engine oil” on page 8-6.

Driving on dry paved road and highwaySelect the “2H” or “4H” position to drive on the dry paved road. Especially on dry highway
, never select the “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position.
Driving on snowy or icy roads Set the transfer shift lever to
the “4H” or “4HLc” position in
accordance with the road conditions, and then graduallydepress the accelerator pe
dal for a smooth start.
NOTE●
The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is recommended.
●
In order to ensure that the
anti-lock brake
system (ABS)
will operate correctly in situ
ations where tyre chains have
been fitted, drive in the “4
H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position.
●
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine braking (downshifting).
Driving on sandy or muddy roadsSet the transfer shift lever to the “4HLc” or “4LLc” positionand then gradually depress th
e accelerator pedal for a smooth
start. Keep the pressure on th
e accelerator pedal as constant as
possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTION
!●
Selecting the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position to drive on dry paved road will increase the fuel consumption with possible noise genera
tion and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the di
fferential oil temperature,
resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train wi
ll be subjected to excessive
loading, possibly leading
to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
CAUTION
!●
Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration, and sharp turning; such opera
tions could cause skidding
and spinouts.

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.
