4-wheel drive operation
E00606600627
By selecting 4-wheel drive, both
axles of the vehicle are rigidly
connected with each other. Th
is improves the traction charac-
teristics. When turning sharp
corners or moving forward and
backward repeatedly, however, the drive line is stressed, which is felt as a braking effect. A 4-wheel drive vehicle can acceler- ate 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●
The driving posture should be more upright and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position foreasy steering and pedal operatio
n. Be sure to wear the seat
belt.
●
After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehi- cle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Vehi- cle care” section and “Inspection and maintenance following rough road operation” on page 4-53.
WARNING
!●
If the rear differential lock
is used by mistake except
when making an emergency
escape on snow or fro-
zen road: It becomes difficult to make a steady turn.
●
In the case where the condit
ion of the road is differ-
ent for the right tyre to drive from the left tyre (suchas 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 diff
erential lock except when
making an emergency escape on a snow or frozen road, but drive with 4WD.

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.

Air conditioning system
refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendationsIf the air conditioning seems less
effective than usual, the cause
might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system inspected.The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a
and the lubricant ND-OIL8.
Use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant will cause severe dam-
age which will result in the n
eed to replace your vehicle’s
entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFC-134a in
your vehicle will not harm
the ozone layer. It is recommended that the refr
igerant be recovered and recy-
cled for further use.During a long period of disuseThe air conditioning should be operated for at least five min- utes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air conditioningin the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with deodorizing function)
E00708400183
An air filter is incorporated in
to the air conditioning system to
remove pollen, dust, tobacco
smells and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as itbecomes dirty, so replace it pe
riodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to th
e “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE●
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty road and frequent use of th
e air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of
the filter. When the air flow
rate suddenly drops or when the windscreen or windowsstart to fog up easily, the ai
r filter requires replacement.
We recommend you to have it checked.
