Running-in recommendations
E00600401271
During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline to aid
long life as well as future
economy and performance. ●
Do not race the engine at high speeds.
●
Avoid rapid starting, accelerat
ing, braking and prolonged
high-speed running.
●
Keep to the running-in speed limit shown below. Please note that the legal speed limits must be adhered to.
●
Do not exceed loading limits.
●
Refrain from towing a trailer.

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.

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.

Climbing sharp gradesSet the transfer shift lever to
the “4LLc” position to maximize
the engine torque.NOTE●
Choose as smooth a slope as possible with few stones or other obstacles.
●
Before attempting to drive up the slope, walk up it to con- firm that the vehicle can handle the grade.
Descending sharp gradesSet the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc” position, use the engine brake (downshifting) and descend slowly.
NOTE●
When descending a sharp grade,
if the brakes are applied
suddenly because of an obstacle encountered, control of the vehicle could be lost. Before descending the slope, walk down it and confirm the path.
●
Before descending a grade, it is necessary to choose the appropriate gear. Avoid changi
ng gears or depressing the
clutch while descending the grade.
●
MITSUBISHI MOTORS is not responsible to the opera- tor for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by the improper and negligent operation of a vehicle. Alltechniques of vehicle operation described herein depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other par- ticipating parties and any deviation from the recom-mended operation instructions above is at their own risk.
Turning sharp cornersWhen turning a sharp corner in
the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
at low speed, a slight differen
ce in steering may be experienced
similar to as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight cor-ner braking and results from each of the 4 tyres being at a dif- ferent distance fr
om the corner.
The phenomenon is peculiar to 4-wheel drive vehicles. If thisoccurs, either straighten the st
eering wheel, or change to rear-
wheel drive.
WARNING
!●
Go straight up. Do not try to traverse across a steep slope.
●
If you begin to lose traction, ease off the accelerator pedal and gently turn th
e steering wheel alterna-
tively left and right to regain adequate tractionagain.WARNING
!●
Avoid snaking down a sharp grade. Descend the grade as straight as possible.

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.

10. Put the notch (J) provided on the jack handle end on the
valve (K) of the jack. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve anticlock- wise slowly to lower the vehicle until the tyre touches theground.
11. Tighten the nuts crisscross
in 2 or 3 steps until each nut
has been tightened securely. Tightening torque 105 to 125 Nm (Achieved by applying a force of 390 to 460 N at the endof the wheel nut wrench s
upplied with the vehicle.)
WARNING
!●
Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If it is opened quickly, the vehicl
e will drop abruptly and
the jack may come out of
position, causing a serious
accident.
CAUTION
!●
Never use your foot or a pipe extension for extra force in the wheel nut wren
ch. If you do so, you will
tighten the nut too much.

13. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the next gasstation.
The correct pressures are shown
on the door label. See the
illustration.
To store the flat tyre or spare tyre
E00803400075
1. Attach the wheel to the spare wheel hanger (A) while
aligning the holes in the wheel with the bolts on the spare wheel hanger. Using the wheel nut wrench,
tighten the spare wheel nuts
firmly. Tightening torque 37 to 54 Nm (Achieved by applying a force of 140 to 200 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench s
upplied with the vehicle.)
CAUTION
!●
After changing the tyre
and driving the vehicle
about 1,000 km (620 miles)
, retighten the wheel nuts
to make sure that they have not come loose.
●
If the steering wheel vibr
ates when driving after
changing the tyre, we recommend you to have thetyres checked for balance.
●
Do not mix one type of tyre with another or use a different size from the one listed. This would causeearly wear and poor handling.

2. Reverse the opening proced
ure when closing the spare
tyre garnish. Tightening torque for spare wheel garnish mounting bolt 11 to 25 Nm (Achieved by applying a force of 40 to 92 N at the end ofthe wheel nut wrench supp
lied with the vehicle.)
NOTE●
Have your damaged tyre repaired as soon as possible.

If your vehicle needs to be towedIf towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service. In the following cases, transpor
t the vehicle using a tow truck.
●
The engine runs but the vehicle does not move or abnor- mal noise is produced.
●
Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals that oil or some other fluid is leaking.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow the vehicle. Please contact your author
ized MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance. Only when you cannot receive
a towing service from a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or commercial tow truck service, tow your ve
hicle carefully in accordance
with the instructions given in “Emergency towing” in this part. The regulations concerning towing may differ from country to country. It is recommended that
you obey the regulations of the
area where you are dr
iving your vehicle.
CAUTION
!●
The spare wheel should al
ways be secured during
vehicle operation. If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre in the spare wh
eel mounting position, and
use the wheel nut wrench to secure it firmly.
