2011 MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV roof load

Economical driving
E00600100561
For economical driving,
there are some technical re-
quirements that have to be met. The prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted en-
gine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle
and the most economical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and
noise are highly influenced by personal driving hab-
its as well as the particular operating conditions.
The following points should be observed in order
to minimize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such op-
eration will result in higher fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when
driving on normal roads and express ways to obtain
best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the aver-
age fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traf-
fic flow whenever possible. When driving on con-
gested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high en-
gine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible. Speed
At higher
vehicle
speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of
the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount
of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular inter-
vals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road re-
sistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low
tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driv-
ing stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the lug-
gage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly af-
fect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with un-
necessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase fuel consump-
tion.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by
keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the
fuel consumption. Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200067
Driving after drinking
alcohol is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with blood alcohol levels far below the legal mini-
mum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or
a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking cof-
fee or taking a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs af-
fect your alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driv-
ing while under the influence of any of these medi-
cations. WARNING
l NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions
are

less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired. 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

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
