Corner sensor system*
E00615500039
This
system operates when you are backing the ve-
hicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an
obstacle and sounds a buzzer to inform you of the
approximate distance to the obstacle. CAUTION
l
The
corner sensor system assists you in de-
termining the approximate distance be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in
terms of detectable areas and objects,
and may not properly detect some ob-
jects. Therefore, do not place excessive
confidence in the corner sensor system,
and operate the vehicle as carefully as
you would a vehicle without this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings
with your own eyes to ensure safety. Do
not operate the vehicle by relying on the
corner sensor system alone.
Obstacle detection areas E00615600199
The detection areas of the corner and back sensors
are

limited to those shown in the illustration. More-
over, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin ob-
jects or objects near the rear bumper. Thus, make
sure to check the surroundings as you operate the
vehicle in a safe manner. Corner and back sensor locations
There

are two corner sensors (A) at the corners of
the rear bumper, and two back sensors (B) in the
centre of the rear bumper. Corner sensor system detection areas
Depending

on whether the vehicle is equipped with
a towing bar, you can change the corner sensor sys-
tem between the standard mode and the towing bar
mode. The towing bar mode changes the system to
exclude the area in which the towing bar is moun-
ted from the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar The detection areas are within approximately
50

cm (A) from the corner sensors, 100 cm (B)
from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or less from
the ground surface, excluding the area approximate-
ly 10 cm (D) from the ground surface. Vehicles with a towing bar Starting and driving

It will flash in case there is a malfunction in the sys-
tem.
For details, refer to ““SONAR OFF” indica-
tion lamp” on page 4-32. To return the system to the operating state, push
the

“SONAR” switch again. When the system re-
turns to the operating state, the buzzer sounds once
and the “SONAR OFF” indication lamp turns off.
NOTE
l The “SONAR OFF” indication lamp flashes
once when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position.
The warning buzzer sounds when the system de-
tects an obstacle during operation.
NOTE l After pushing the “SONAR” switch, corner
sensor system operation differs according to
the detection area setting. • Setting when towing bar is not equipped
When
the selector lever is moved to the
“R” (REVERSE) position on an A/T ve-
hicle, or the gearshift lever is moved to
the “R” (Reverse) position on a M/T vehi-
cle, the corner sensor system will operate
even if corner sensor system operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch.
• Setting when towing bar is equipped When corner sensor system operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch, the corner sensor system will not
operate until the engine has been stopped
even if the selector lever is moved to the
“R” (REVERSE) position on an A/T ve-
hicle, or the gearshift lever is moved to
the “R” (Reverse) position on a M/T vehi-
cle.
To resume corner sensor system opera-
tion, push the “SONAR” switch or stop
and restart the engine, and then move the
selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) po-
sition on an A/T vehicle, or the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position on a
M/T vehicle.
Warning for obstacles
If there is an obstacle behind the vehicle, a warning
buzzer sounds to indicate the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle. Corner sensor Vehicle to obstacle dis-

Trailer towing
E00610000420
In
order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, have a
trailer towing device that meets all relevant regula-
tions in your area, mounted consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A

towing bar should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE l If

you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to page 9-07.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by
10 % of the gross combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications

l
Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
A/T
The 2 nd
gear (in “Sports mode”) is recommended
on slopes or at low speed. Use the 1 st
gear (in
“Sports mode”) in mountainous areas in order to
make better use of engine braking and to assist the
brake system. However, be sure that the speed does
not exceed the maximum speed limit for the selec-
ted gear. Starting and driving

Handling of compact discs
E00723000193
l Use
only the type of compact discs that have
the mark shown in the illustration below.
(Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs may
cause problems.) l
The use of special shaped, damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact discs (like warped discs or burrs on the
discs) such as those shown will damage the
CD player. l
In
the following circumstances, moisture can
form on discs and inside the audio system,
preventing normal operation. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining). • When
the temperature suddenly rises,
such as right after the heater is turned on
in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has
had time to dry out.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work.
l When storing compact discs, always store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc with-
out a label. This will damage the disc surface
and could affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by the
outer edge and the centre hole.
l To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Wipe directly from the centre hole towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc. l
Do
not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc. For pleasant driving
