onds or more.
“SONAR OFF” indication lamp E00615900075
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing sen-
sor system, the

“SONAR OFF” indication lamp
will flash and the warning buzzer will sound for ap-
proximately 5 seconds. Even after the buzzer has
stopped sounding, the indication lamp will contin-
ue flashing until the system reverts to the normal
state. We recommend you to have your vehicle in-
spected. Rear-view camera*
E00618400198
The rear-view camera

is a system that shows the
view behind the vehicle on a screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. CAUTION
l
The rear-view
camera
is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as careful-
ly as you would if the vehicle did not have
the rear-view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around
the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not de-
pend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view camera
The range of

view of the rear-view camera is limi-
ted to the area shown in the illustrations. Because
the camera is built in the overhanging area of the
vehicle (spare wheel garnish), it cannot show the
bottom of the spare wheel garnish and the right be-
hind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor).
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety
around the vehicle. Starting and driving

Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera
(A) is integrated into the
spare wheel garnish. Range of view of rear-view camera How to use the rear-view camera
When you
place

the shift lever in the “R” (Re-
verse) position (on vehicles with M/T) or selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position (on vehicles
with A/T) with the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the view behind the vehicle will automatical-
ly appear on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi
Communication System (MMCS) or the inside rear-
view mirror. When you move the shift lever or se-
lector lever to any other position, the screen will re-
turn to its original indication. CAUTION
l
The rear-view
camera
has a special lens
that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further
away than they actually are. CAUTION
l
The line (red)
shows the point approxi-
mately 50 cm behind the rear extremity
of the rear bumper.
Be careful because the spare wheel gar-
nish overhangs for approximately 30 cm
behind the rear extremity of the rear
bumper.
NOTE l If
you press

any of the buttons on the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) control panel while the screen is
showing the view from the rear-view camera,
the screen indication will change to the one
for that button.
l Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no ab-
normality.
• Low light (night time)
• When the light of the sun or the lightfrom a vehicle’s headlamps shines direct-
ly into the lens
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-
nated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ignor-
ing them could lead to a camera malfunction. Starting and driving
4-53 4

• Do not subject the camera to physical
shock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
•
Do not splash the camera with boiling wa-ter.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
Reference lines on the screen
Reference lines and upper surface of the rear bump-
er (A) are displayed on the screen. l Red line (B) indicates approximately 50 cm
behind the rear bumper.
l Two Green lines (C) indicate approximately
20 cm outside of the vehicle body.
l Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate dis-
tance from the rear bumper.
Check surroundings for safety. 1- Approximately at
the
rear edge of the rear
bumper
2- Approximately 100 cm
3- Approximately 200 cm NOTE
l When
the vehicle

is tilting because of the num-
ber of people in the vehicle, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
l The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface.
In the following cases, objects shown on the
screen will appear to be farther off than they
actually are.
• When the rear of the vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and
luggage in the vehicle. A- Actual objects
B- Objects shown on the screen •
When there
is an upward slope at the back. A- Actual objects
B- Objects shown on the screen
l The
reference

lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface.
This may make the distance to a projecting
object shown on the screen differ from the ac-
tual distance to the projecting object. Do not
use them as a guide for distances to solid ob-
jects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The point A and B actually are
the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the point A and B. Starting and driving

Cargo loads
E00609901224
Cargo loads precautions CAUTION
l
When
loading
luggage, be careful to the
following. • Stow cargo and luggage in the luggagecompartment whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seats.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury.
Loading a roof carrier CAUTION
l
Use a
roof
carrier that properly fits your
vehicle.
Do not load luggage directly onto the roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction
manual accompanying the roof carrier. Roof carrier mounting brackets*
3-door models
5-door models
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets
(A). The
brackets

(A) are located under each roof
drip moulding (B).
NOTE
l We recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brackets
to be used have a special shape. For details,
we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. Roof carrier precaution CAUTION
l
Make sure
that
the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this
may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load
on the roof (the weight of the roof carrier
plus the weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer to “Max-
imum roof load” on page 9-07 .
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and
avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the car-
rier so that its weight is distributed even-
ly with the heaviest items on the bottom.
Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof could
raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and af-
fect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
manoeuvres could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the
roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure. Starting and driving
4-56

OBKE12E1

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
