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
