2011 MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV tow bar

To resume the set speed
E00609800460
If the set
speed driving is deactivated by the condi-
tion described in “To deactivate” on page 4-48,
you can resume the previously set speed by press-
ing the “ACC RES” switch (C) while driving at a
speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher. Under either of the following conditions, however,
using the
switch

does not allow you to resume the
previously set speed. In these situations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
l The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.
l The ignition switch is turned OFF.
l “CRUISE” indication lamp is turned OFF. Reversing sensor system*
E00615500055
This system operates

when you are backing the ve-
hicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an
obstacle and sounds a buzzer to inform you of the
approximate distance to the obstacle. CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the
vehicle

and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in
terms of detectable areas and objects,
and may not properly detect some ob-
jects. Therefore, do not place excessive
confidence in the reversing sensor system
and operate the vehicle as carefully as
you would do with a vehicle not equipped
with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings
with your own eyes to ensure safety. Do
not operate the vehicle by relying on the
reversing sensor system alone. Corner and back sensor locations
E00618500014
There are two

corner sensors (A) at the corners of
the rear bumper, and two back sensors (B) in the
spare wheel garnish. Obstacle detection areas
E00615600261
The detection areas of the corner and back sensors
are limited to

those shown in the illustration. Be-
cause the back sensors are built in the overhanging
area of the vehicle (spare wheel garnish), the sen-
sors are unable to detect low or thin obstacles, or
obstacles on the bottom of the spare wheel garnish
or the bottom of the centre of the rear bumper.
Thus, make sure to check the surroundings as you
operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Reversing sensor system detection areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with
a towing bar, you can change the reversing sensor
system between the standard mode and the towing
bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the sys-
tem to exclude the area in which the towing bar is
mounted from the detection areas. Starting and driving
4-49 4

OBKE12E1

Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas
are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm (B)
from the back sensors. Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection
areas

are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm (B)
from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C)
are within approximately 20 cm (D) from the bump-
er. NOTE
l If
the rear

bumper or the spare wheel garnish
has been exposed to an impact, the corner or
back sensors may fail and prevent the system
from functioning properly. We recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
l The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If
the height of an object is lower than the moun-
ted position of the corner or back sensors,
the sensors may not continue detecting it
even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detection
areas, please refer to “Changing the detection
areas” on page 4-52. CAUTION
l
The reversing
sensor
system may not op-
erate properly under the following condi-
tions: • The sensors or surroundings are cov-ered with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other sources (the horns of other
vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes,
radios, pouring rain, splashing water,
tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long
period of time under a blazing sun or
in cold weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface). CAUTION
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors
or

surroundings have
been wiped by hand, or stickers or ac-
cessories have been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not prop-
erly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wirenets or ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerb- stones.
NOTE l The
buzzer may

sound lower than the normal
warning sound when the reversing sensor sys-
tem is receiving ultrasonic noise from other
sources, but this is not a malfunction. The buz-
zer will stop sounding and the system will re-
turn to normal operation after the noise is no
longer received. Starting and driving

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

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
