When shifting
from “2H” to “4H” in cold
weather while the vehicle is in motion, the
transmission gear may make some noise. In
cold weather, try to shift the gear while the
vehicle is stopped.
l When the lever is shifted between “2H” ↔
“4H” or “4H” ↔ “4HLc” while the vehicle
is stopped, the 2WD/4WD operation indica-
tion lamp blinks while the selection is in proc-
ess. Drive slowly and normally after confirm-
ing that the lamp is illuminated. Refer to
“2WD/4WD operation indication lamp” on
page 4-26.
l Do not move the selector lever while the 2WD/
4WD operation indication lamp is blinking.
l On vehicles with cruise control, when the lev-
er is shifted among “2H” ↔ “4H” ↔
“4HLc” while the cruise control is activated,
the transfer gear may make some noise. CAUTION

Do not
operate
the transfer shift lever
while the rear wheels of the vehicle are
slipping on snow or ice. 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp

Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation E00606700048
After operating the
vehicle in rough road condi-
tions, be sure to perform the following inspection
and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been damaged
by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
After washing, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal in or-
der to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still
do not function properly, we recommend you
to have the brakes checked as soon as possible
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
l After crossing a stream, be sure to have the
following items inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and take
the necessary measures.
• Check the brake system and, if necessary,have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, transfer, and differential oil or grease level and tur-
bidity. If the oil or grease is milky, it indi-
cates water contamination. Replace it
with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If ingress of water is found, dry the carpet etc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the headlamp bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained. Cautions on handling of 4-wheel
drive vehicles E00606800401
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving
torque can be applied to the 4
wheels, the performance of the vehicle when oper-
ating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the con-
dition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer to
“Tyres and wheels” on page 9-12.
l Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of the
same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear
tyres is recognizable.

Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if
there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to
“Tyre rotation” on page 8-14. l Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly.
l If the tyre inflation pressure is inappropriate,
the transfer gear may make some noise and
shock while changing the drive mode. CAUTION
l
Always use tyres
of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres which differ
in size, type, brand or the degree of wear
will cause excessive loading, resulting in
possible damage to the drive system.
Towing
If towing is

necessary, we recommend you to have
it done by your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a
tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals
that oil or some other fluid is leaking.
Only when you cannot receive a towing service
from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or commercial tow truck service, tow
your vehicle carefully in accordance with the in-
structions given in “Towing” on page 6-15. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
the “2H” position. Never try to tow with
the transfer shift lever in the “4H”,
“4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and with
any of the wheels on the ground (Type A
or B). This could result in damage to the
vehicle’s driving system, or the vehicle
could become separated from the tow
truck and unexpected accident might re-
sult. If you cannot shift the transfer shift
lever to “2H” position or the transmission
is malfunctioning or damaged, transport
the vehicle with all the wheels on a car-
riage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
If you can shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H”
position. Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WARNING
l Do not
crank
the engine while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack. Clutch operation
Quick or
slight

clutch engagement made while the
engine is running at high speed will cause damage
to the clutch and transmission because the tractive
force is very great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively. Starting and driving

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 Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage
(Type C, D or E) as illustrated. Never try
to tow with the transfer shift lever in
“4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and
with the front or rear wheels on the
ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated.
This could result in driving system dam-
age or the vehicle may jump at the car-
riage. If you cannot shift the transfer
shift lever to the “2H” position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or dam-
aged, transport the vehicle with all
wheels on a carriage (Type D or E) as il-
lustrated.
l As your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system
(ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and on-
ly the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised off the ground, the active
Traction Control System may operate, re-
sulting in an accident. CAUTION
l
If you tow
the vehicles with A/T with the
driving wheels on the ground (Type B) as
illustrated, make sure that the towing
speed and distance given below are never
exceeded, causing damage to the transmis-
sion.

Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)

Diesel-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
Towing with front 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).
Release the parking brake. CAUTION
l
Never tow
an
A/T vehicle with the front
wheels up (and the rear wheels on the
ground) (Type B) when the A/T fluid lev-
el is low. This may cause serious and ex-
pensive damage to the transmission. For emergencies
