Safe driving techniques
E00600300202
Driving
safety and protection against injury cannot
be fully ensured. However, we recommend that
you pay extra attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and
your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats WARNING
l Keep
floor mats clear of the pedals by cor-
rectly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out of position, securely retain them us-
ing the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to
a serious accident. Carrying children in the vehicle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition and children inside the ve-
hicle.
Children may play with the driving con-
trols and this could lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small children are
properly restrained in accordance with the
laws and regulations, and for maximum pro-
tection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the luggage
compartment. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load
above the height of seats. This is dangerous not on-
ly because rearward vision will be obstructed, but
also the luggage may be projected into the passen-
ger compartment under hard braking. Running-in recommendations
E00600400694
During
the running-in period for the first 1,000 km
(620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehi-
cle using the following precautions as a guideline
to aid long life as well as future economy and per-
formance.
l Do not race the engine at high speeds.
l Avoid rapid starting, accelerating, braking
and prolonged high-speed running.
l Keep to the running-in speed limit shown be-
low.
Please note that the legal speed limits must
be adhered to.
l Do not exceed loading limits.
l Refrain from towing a trailer.

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

the following table for fixing points (A) for the
towing bar. 1

NOTE
l The
value of item 4, 5, 8 or 9 is applicable to
unladen vehicles. These values can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional
equipment and suspension conditions.
Operating hints l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with M/T
only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting. Starting and driving

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
