Trailer towingE00610000462
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, 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.CAUTIONl 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 “Vehicle weight” on page 9-10.)
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.

Item 7, 8, 9, 10, 11: at kerb weight
*: 2WD vehicles with 15 inch tyres

NOTE
l The values under item 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 are ap-
plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size,
optional equipment and suspension condi-
tions.Operating hints
l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/
a only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed for trailer operation.
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.

Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.
