The regulations concerning towing may differ from
country
to country. It is recommended that you
obey the regulations of the area where you are driv-
ing your vehicle. Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION
l
This
vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment
(Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper
and front end.
l If the transmission is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the vehicle with the
driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D
or E) as illustrated.
l [For vehicles equipped with the Active sta-
bility control (ASC) system]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
key in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent.
l If you tow an A/T vehicle with the driving
wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustra-
ted, make sure that the towing speed and
distance given below are never exceeded,
causing damage to the transmission.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 30 km (19 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations. Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type B)
Place

the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T). Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a
straight ahead position with a rope or tie-down
strap. Never place the ignition key in the “LOCK”
position when towing. CAUTION
l
Never
tow an A/T vehicle with the rear
wheels up (and the front wheels on the
ground) when the automatic transmission
fluid level is low. This may cause serious
and expensive damage to the transmission.

the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T).
Emergency towing

your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a rope
secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle or
if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful at-
tention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. Take out the towing hook, wheel nut wrenchand jack bar. (Refer to “Tools and jack” on

2. Cover the tip of the jack bar with a cloth,
then use it to remove the cover (A) that is lo-
cated on the front bumper. 3. Use
the wheel nut wrench (B) to securely
mount the towing hook (C). 4. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook. CAUTION
l
Do
not tow the vehicle with the rope at an
excessive diagonal angle.
NOTE l To

avoid deforming or otherwise damaging
the vehicle body when hooking the rope onto
the towing hook, observe the following in-
structions: • Mount the towing hook securely.
• Do not attach the rope to any part of thevehicle other than the towing hook.
• Do not drive in a way that subjects the towing hook to significant physical shock.
5. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel. CAUTION
l
When
the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion or do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while driving.
The steering wheel will lock, causing loss
of control. 6. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (A/T).
7. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
8. During towing make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed. WARNING
l To
prevent entry of exhaust gas from the
towing vehicle, set your air selection
switch to the recirculation position. CAUTION
l
The
person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck. For emergencies

Service precautions
E01000100328
Adequate
care of your vehicle at regular intervals
serves to preserve the value and appearance as long
as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this owner’s man-
ual can be performed by the owner.
We recommend you to have the periodic inspection
and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist. In the event a malfunction or other problem
is discovered, we recommend you to have it
checked and repaired. This section contains infor-
mation on inspection maintenance procedures that
you can do yourself. Follow the instructions and
cautions for each of the various procedures. WARNING
l When
checking or servicing the inside of
the engine compartment, make sure the
engine is switched off and has had a
chance to cool down.
l If it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the engine running, be
especially careful that your clothing, hair,
etc., does not become caught by the fan,
drive belts, or other moving parts.
l The fan may turn on automatically even
if the engine is not running; turn the igni-
tion key to “LOCK” position and remove
the key to ensure safety while you work
in the engine compartment.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or battery. The fumes
are flammable. WARNING
l Be
extremely cautious when working
around the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endan-
ger your personal safety. We recommend
you to consult a specialist for necessary in-
formation. Catalytic converter
E01000201007
For

ordinary use, there are no particular precau-
tions except that of using unleaded petrol.
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the
catalytic converter are extremely efficient for the re-
duction of noxious gases. The catalytic converter is
installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly tuned to
ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possi-
ble catalyst damage. CAUTION
l
Damage
to the catalytic converter can re-
sult if your vehicle is not kept in proper
operating condition. In the event of an en-
gine malfunction particularly involving
engine misfire or other apparent loss of
performance, have your vehicle serviced
promptly. Continued operation of your ve-
hicle with a severe overheated condition
may result in possible damage to the con-
verter and vehicle. WARNING
l As
with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter. Maintenance
