NOTE●
To protect the rubber parts of
the wipers, this operation of
the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is station-
ary and the ambient temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
●
Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating on the windscreen. The rain
sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers might stop work-ing normally.
●
In the following cases, the rain sensor may be malfunc- tioning.Have the vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • When the wipers operate at
a constant interval despite
changes in the extent of rain. • When the wipers do not operate even though it is rain- ing.
●
The wipers may automatically
operate when things such
as rain, dust, mud, insects, tr
ee sap, oil or salt are affixed
to the windscreen on top of the rain sensor or when thewindscreen is frozen. (Wrong operation may also occur due to strong electromagnetic
waves, etc.) Objects affixed
to the windscreen wi
ll stop the wipers when the wipers
cannot remove them. To make the wipers operate
again, place the lever in the
“LO” or “HI” position.
●
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point when replacing the winds
creen or reinforcing the
glass around the sensor.
To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
E00517100038
With the lever in the “AUTO” (rain sensor) position, it is possi- ble to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor by turning knob (A).NOTE●
It is possible to activate the following functions. For fur- ther information, we reco
mmend you to consult a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • Automatic operation (rain droplet sensitive) can be changed to intermittent ope
ration (vehicle-speed sensi-
tive). • Automatic operation (rain droplet sensitive) can be changed to intermittent oper
ation (except vehicle-speed
sensitive).
“+”- Higher sensitivity to rain “-”- Lower sensitivity to rain

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.

drive
When driving on dry paved road.
4H
Full-time 4-wheel drive
The basic position for super select 4WD II.When driving on dry paved or slippery roads.
4HLc
Centre dif- ferential lock
engaged 4-wheel drive
When driving on rough, sand or snow covered roads.
4LLc
Low range centre dif-ferential lock
engaged 4-wheel drive
When driving up or down steep hills, on rough or muddy roads (especially when increased torque is required).
CAUTION
!●
The “4LLc” range gives maximum torque for low- speed driving on steep slopes, as well as sandy,muddy, and other difficul
t surfaces. On vehicles
with A/T, do not exceed
speeds of approximately
70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.
●
Do not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position on dry paved roads and highways. Doing so may result in excessive tyre wear, increased fuel con-sumption, and possible nois
e generation. It may also
increase the differential
oil temperature, which may
damage the drive system.
Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious prob-
lems. On dry paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle in “2H” or “4H” only.

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.

Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from the road surface can damage the paint coat and body of your vehi- cle if left in prolonged contact.Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your vehicle from this damage. This wi
ll also be effective in protect-
ing it from environmental elements such as rain, snow, salt air,etc. Do not wash the vehicle in dir
ect sunlight. Park the vehicle in
the shade and spray it with water to remove dust. Next, usingan ample amount of clean wate
r and a car washing brush or
sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild car washing soap
if necessary. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
