2011 MITSUBISHI TRITON Automatic transmission lever

WARNING
l To prevent entry of exhaust gas from the
towing vehicle, set your air selection lever
to the recirculation position.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle with automatic trans-
mission is to be towed by another vehicle
with all the wheels on the ground, make
sure that the towing speed and distance
given below are never exceeded, causing
damage to the transmission.

Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (30 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
If your vehicle tows another vehicle (vehicles with
rear towing hook only)
The rear towing hook is

located as shown in the il-
lustration. Secure the tow rope to the rear towing
hook. NOTE
l Using
any part
other than

the designated tow-
ing hook could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body. CAUTION
l
On
vehicles with
super select
4WD, when
you are going to tow another vehicle,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif-
ferential oil temperature, resulting in pos-
sible 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. NOTE
l Your
vehicle should only be

used to tow an-
other vehicle if the weight of the other vehi-
cle is less than the weight of your vehicle. For emergencies

CAUTION
l
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-
freeze or any engine coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use
of an improper anti-freeze can cause cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-
freeze performance, keep the anti-freeze
concentration within the range of 30 to
60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your

area drop below freez-
ing, there is the danger that the coolant in the en-
gine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator. The concentra-
tion should be checked before the start of cold weath-
er and anti-freeze added to the system if necessary.
Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the cool-
ant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary. Automatic transmission fluid*
E01000600974
The proper amount of automatic

transmission fluid
is essential to the life and operation of the automat-
ic transmission. Either insufficient fluid or exces-
sive fluid could cause transmission trouble. The
transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick. Use the following procedure to check the
fluid level.
Procedure for checking the fluid level
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle hasbeen driven enough to warm up the transmis-
sion fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake pedal fully depressed, move the transmission selec-
tor lever through all the positions from the
"P” (PARK) to “L” (LOW) (with 4A/T), the
“P” (PARK) to “D” (DRIVE) (with 5A/T),
stopping momentarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. 7. Remove dipstick and read the automatic trans-
mission fluid level.
The fluid level should
always be between the
two marks on the dipstick. WARNING
l Do not spill the
fluid
onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspec-
tion, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use only “DIA QUEEN ATF

SP III” transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance. Maintenance
