3. When the declination adjustment has been
completed, press the “SET” function button. Setting the compass
The compass is
usually calibrated automatically
when the vehicle is moving. At times when com-
plete calibration is not possible, no compass indica-
tions are given. Manually set the compass using the
following procedure. NOTE
l If
your vehicle
has a sunroof, keep the sun-
roof closed when calibrating the compass.
Having the sunroof open when calibrating
the compass could render the compass un-
able to correctly show directions.
With a settings display showing, press the “ADJ”
button and select “COMPASS CALIBRATION”. 1. Press the function button for “SELECT”. 2. Press the function button for “SELECT”. 3. Turn the vehicle slowly through 360 degrees
in a safe, open area with no buildings and oth-
er vehicles. NOTE
l If
you wish
to stop calibrating the compass
part-way through the procedure, press the “IN-
FO” button or “ADJ” button. Instruments and controls

OBKE12E1
NOTE
l The
“Completed the
calibration”. message
may be displayed even if you terminate the
turn before it is complete and return to the ve-
hicle’s original direction. The compass may
not be properly calibrated in this case, so you
must turn the vehicle through at least
360 degrees.
4. The compass setting will finish automatical- ly and the words “COMPASS CALIBRA-
TION COMPLETE” will appear on the
screen. NOTE
l If your vehicle has a sunroof, do not open the
sunroof
when checking
the indicated direc-
tion after completing the turn. Opening the
sunroof could cause the azimuth bar shown
on the centre information display to freeze be-
cause of electromagnetic interference. Be
sure to check the indicated direction with the
sunroof closed. If the azimuth bar freezes, per-
form the compass calibration procedure again. Changing the calendar setting

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
See
the following

OBKE12E1
CAUTION
l
After washing the vehicle, drive the vehi-
cle slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal several times in order to dry
out the brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re-
duced braking performance. Also, there
is a possibility that they could freeze up
or become inoperative due to rust, render-
ing the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay
attention to the following items, referring
to the operation manual or consulting a
car wash operator. If the following proce-
dure is not followed, it could result in dam-
age to your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arm assembly is taped.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a reardeflector or roof rails, consult a car
wash operator before using the car
wash.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the wiper switch lever in the
“OFF” position to deactivate the rain
sensor.
During cold weather
Salt and other
chemicals spread on the roads in
some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on
the vehicle body. You should therefore wash the ve-
hicle as often as possible in accordance with our
care-instructions. It is recommended to have a pres-
ervative applied and the underfloor protection
checked before and after the cold weather season. After washing your vehicle, wipe off all water-
drops from
the
rubber parts around the doors to pre-
vent the doors from freezing.
NOTE
l To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be trea-
ted with silicone spray.
Waxing E00901000560
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the adherence
of dust and
road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply
a wax solution after washing the vehicle, or at least
once every three months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You
should wax after the surfaces have cooled. CAUTION
l
Waxes containing
high
abrasive com-
pounds should not be used. Such waxes re-
move rust and stains effectively from the
paintwork but they are harmful to the lus-
tre on the painted surface and the plated
surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfa-
ces such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
l Do not use petrol or paint thinners to re-
move road tar or other contamination to
the vehicle surface.
l Do not apply wax on the areas having
black mat coating as it can cause uneven
discolouration, patches, blurs, etc. If
stained with wax, immediately wipe off
with a piece of soft cloth and warm water. CAUTION
l
On vehicles with
a sunroof, be careful
when waxing the area around the sunroof
opening, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip (black rubber). If stained with
wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a
weatherproof seal with the sunroof.
Polishing E00901100024
The vehicle should only be polished if the paint-
work has become stained or lost its lustre. Matt-fin-
ish parts and
plastic bumpers must not be polished,
polishing these parts will stain them or damage
their finish.
Damaged paint E00901200155
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should
be touched up
as soon as possible with
MITSUBISHI touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.
Check body areas facing the road or the tyres care-
fully for damage to the paint coat caused by flying
stones, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle
can be found on the vehicle information code plate.
(Refer to “Vehicle information code plate” on page
9-02.)
Cleaning plastic parts E00901300619
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car
wax adheres on a grey or black rough sur-
face of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface
becomes white. In such a case, wipe it off using
lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather. Vehicle care
7-04

OBKE12E1
CAUTION
l
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other
hard tools as they may damage the plastic
part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the
plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them
off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral deter-
gent then immediately rinse the affected
parts with water.
Chrome parts E00901400115
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome
parts, wash with
water, dry thoroughly, and apply a
special protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels* E00901500321
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling
water on the wheel.
2. Use
neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot
be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing
the wheel.
3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth. CAUTION
l
Do not use
a brush or other hard imple-
ment on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an
abrasive substance or is acidic or alka-
line. Doing so could cause the coating on
the wheels to peel or become discoloured
or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such sub-
stances as soon as possible.
Window glass E00901600032
The window glass can normally be cleaned using
only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can
be used to remove oil, grease,
dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry
with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use the same
cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to
wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparen-
cy and visibility.
NOTE
l To clean the inside of the backdoor window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage. Wiper blades
E00901700059
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease,
dead insects, etc.,
from the wiper blades. Replace
the wiper blades when they no longer wipe proper-
ly. (Refer to page 8-17.)
Cleaning the sunroof* E00901800180
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth.
Hard deposits should
be wiped away with a cloth
dipped in warm, neutral detergent solution. Wipe
away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh wa-
ter.
NOTE
l The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if hard cloth or organ-
ic solvent (benzine, kerosene, thinner, etc.) is
used.
Engine compartment E00902100311
Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and
end of winter.
Pay particular attention to flanges,
crevices and peripheral parts where dust containing
road chemicals and other corrosive materials might
collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in
your area, clean the engine compartment at least ev-
ery three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical com-
ponents in the engine compartment, as this may
cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery elec-
trolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them. Vehicle care
