NOTE
l To
prevent wind
noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Before using an automatic car wash, remove
the roof carrier.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) when installing a roof carrier. Trailer towing
E00610000550
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. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A towing
bar
should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
When you are going to tow a trailer,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting the “2H” drive may increase the
differential oil temperature, resulting in
possible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
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 9-07 .)
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

NOTE
l The
values under
item 10 are applicable to un-
laden vehicles. These values can also be var-
ied depending on the tyre size, optional equip-
ment 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.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph)* for trailer operation. *: For vehicles with only front seats,
80
km/h
(50
mph) should be applied in-
stead of 100 km/h (62 mph).
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.
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 sys-
tem. However, be sure that the speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed limit for the selected gear. Starting and driving

To use the jack handle
E00802400023
1. While pushing the
snap pin (A), remove the
inside handle (B). 2. With the snap pin (C) pushed, insert the in-
side handle until it is locked. How to change a tyre
E00801201601
Before changing a
tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, turn the ignitionswitch to the “LOCK” position, move the
gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, turn the igni-
tion key to the “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing. WARNING
l Be sure to
apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE l The
chocks shown
in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle and wheel nut wrench ready. Refer to “Tool, jack
and jack handle” on page 6-07.
Spare wheel information E00803600266
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure
it is ready for emergency use at any
time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.). For emergencies

Wheel condition
E010018004781- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the
tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage.
Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks.
Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous be-
cause of the greater chance of skidding or hydro-
planing. The tread depth of the tyres must exceed
1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum
requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the surface of
the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that
the tyre no longer meets the minimum requirement
for use. When these wear indicators appear, the
tyres must be replaced with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is necessary,
replace all of them. CAUTION
l
Always use tyres
of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands
or degree of wear, will increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Replacing tyres and wheels E01007200429 CAUTION
l
Avoid using different
size tyres from the
one listed and the combined use of differ-
ent types of tyres, as this can affect driv-
ing safety. Refer to “Tyres and wheels”
on page 9-12.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a
specialist before using wheels that you
have.
Wheel balance
On vehicles equipped
with 17x7 1/2J size alumini-
um wheels (round rim type), if you need to balance
a wheel, put the balance weight (A) on the speci-
fied position which is spoke side from the notch
(B) on the inner surface of the wheel. There is a possibility that the balance weight is in-
terfered the
related
brake part if it is put any place
other than the specified position.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Tyre rotation
E01001901203
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions, road sur-
face conditions and
individual driver’s driving hab-
its. To equalize the wear and help extend tyre life,
it is recommended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable. Maintenance
