CAUTION
l
If the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.
l If the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
During vehicle operation with
the lamp illuminated, the vehi-
cle may not accelerate when
you depress the accelerator ped-
al.
When the vehicle is stationary
with the lamp illuminated, you
must depress the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since
the engine idling speed is high-
er than usual and the vehicle
with an A/T has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward. NOTE
l The
engine electronic control mod-
ule

accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust
emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a bat-
tery cable is disconnected which
will make a rapid diagnosis diffi-
cult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON. Charge warning lamp
E00502700821
This lamp illuminates when the

ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started. CAUTION
l
If the lamp comes
on
while the
engine is running, the probable
cause is as shown below.
Park the vehicle immediately at
a safe place and we recommend
you to have it checked. • Broken drive belt or abnor-mality in the charging sys-
tem. A broken drive belt cau-
ses poor braking efficiency.
Depress the brake pedal
harder than usual to park
the vehicle in a safe place. Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800620
This lamp illuminates when the

ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started.
If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, turn the engine off
and have it inspected. CAUTION
l
If this lamp illuminates
when
the
engine oil level is not low,
have it inspected.
l This warning lamp does not in-
dicate the amount of oil in the
crankcase. This must be deter-
mined by checking the oil level
on the dipstick, while the en-
gine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with
low engine oil level or with this
warning lamp illuminated, en-
gine seizure may occur.
NOTE l The
oil pressure warning lamp
should

not be treated as an indica-
tion of the engine’s oil level. The
oil level must be checked using
the dipstick. Instruments and controls

When the engine has
not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
to the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.

6. Operate the accelerator pedal as described be- low in accordance with the atmospheric tem-
perature and/or engine condition and then
start the engine.
l When the atmospheric temperature is
moderate or the engine is warm, start the
engine without depressing the accelerator
pedal.
l When the atmospheric temperature is low
and the engine is cold, start the engine
while depressing the accelerator pedal.
Fuel injection amount learning process E00616000028
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low,
the engine very
occasionally performs

a learning
process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from usual
while the learning process is taking place. The
change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault. Diesel particulate filter (DPF)*
E00619800232
The diesel particulate filter (DPF)

is a device that
captures most of the particulate matter (PM) in the
exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF au-
tomatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle
operation. Under certain driving conditions, howev-
er, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trap-
ped PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of
PM accumulates inside it. WARNING
l The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your
vehicle

in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur. CAUTION
l
Do not use any type
of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Al-
so, do not use any moisture-removing
agent or other fuel additive. Such substan-
ces could have a detrimental effect on the
DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 02 and
“Engine oil” on page 8-04.
NOTE l To
minimize the likelihood of

excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for
long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances. DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp
comes

on or flashes in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system. Provi-
ded the DPF system is working normally, the DPF
warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes off a few sec-
onds later. If the DPF warning lamp comes on dur-
ing vehicle operation
Steady illumination of the DPF

warning lamp
shows that the DPF has not been able to burn away
all of the trapped PM and that, as a result, an exces-
sive amount of PM has accumulated inside it. To en-
able the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive the
vehicle as follows:
l With the needle of the water temperature
gauge stabilized in roughly the middle of the
scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a speed
of at least 40 km/h (24 mph).
If the DPF warning lamp subsequently stays on, con-
tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. Starting and driving

transmission, do not exceed speeds of ap-
proximately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4L”
range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways.
Doing so may result in excessive tyre
wear, increased fuel consumption, and
possible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature,
which may damage the drive system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious prob-
lems. On dry paved roads and highways,

4-wheel drive operation
E00606600920
By selecting 4-wheel drive, both
axles of the vehi-
cle are rigidly connected with each other. This im-
proves the traction characteristics. When turning
sharp corners or moving forward and backward re-
peatedly, however, the drive line is stressed, which
is felt as a braking effect. A 4-wheel drive vehicle
can accelerate more quickly and smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance is not short-
er than that of a rear-wheel drive vehicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads (snow,
mud, sand, etc.), it is important to operate the vehi-
cle correctly.
NOTE
l The driving posture should be more upright
and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the
seat to a good position for easy steering and
pedal operation. Be sure to wear the seat belt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly
with water. Refer to the “Vehicle care” sec-
tion and “Inspection and maintenance follow-
ing rough road operation” on page 4-41.
Driving on dry paved road and highway
Select “2H” position (easy select 4WD), “2H” or
“4H” position (super select 4WD) to drive on the
dry paved road. Especially on dry highway, never
select the “4H” or “4L” position (easy select
4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super select
4WD). CAUTION
l
Selecting “4H” or “4L” position
(easy se-
lect 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (su-
per select 4WD) to drive on dry paved
road will increase the fuel consumption
with possible noise generation and early
tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential oil
temperature, resulting in possible dam-
age to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading, possibly leading to
oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious faults.
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the transfer shift lever

to “4H” or “4L” position
(easy select 4WD), “4H” or “4HLc” position (su-
per select 4WD) in accordance with the road condi-
tions, and then gradually depress the accelerator ped-
al for a smooth start.
NOTE
l The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting). CAUTION
l
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion,
and sharp turning; such operations
could cause skidding and spinouts. Driving on sandy or muddy roads
Set the transfer shift
lever

to “4H” or “4L” position
(easy select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (su-
per select 4WD) and then gradually depress the ac-
celerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal as constant as possi-
ble, and drive at low speed. CAUTION
l
Do not force the
vehicle
or drive reckless-
ly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with
normal road surfaces, the engine and oth-
er drive-system components are put un-
der excessive strain when driving on such
a surface, and this could lead to accidents.
l If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and fol-
low these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gaugeapproaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on
page 6-04.
• Automatic transmission fluid temper- ature warning lamp comes on.
Refer to “When the A/T (automatic
transmission) fluid temperature warn-
ing lamp comes on” on pages 4-19,
4-24. Starting and driving
