E00502601797
This lamp is a part

of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3 and
Euro 4 regulation]
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5]
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it does not go off after the en-
gine has started, we recommend you to
have the system checked. CAUTION
l
Prolonged driving with this
lamp
on

may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability. Instruments and controls

MITSUBISHI TRITON 2011 Owners Manual Running-in recommendations
E00600402395
During the running-in period for
the first 1,000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline to a

Page 167 of 369

CAUTION
l
Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will
increase the differential oil temperature,
resulting in possible damage to the driv-
ing system. Further, the drive train will
be subjected to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious faults.
Towing
If towing is necessary, we

recommend you to have
it done by your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a
tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals
that oil or some other fluid is leaking. Only when you cannot receive a towing service
from a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS

Authorized Serv-
ice Point or commercial tow truck service, tow
your vehicle carefully in accordance with the in-
structions given in “Towing” on page 6-20 . CAUTION
l
Be sure to shift the
transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage
(Type A, C or D) as illustrated.
Never try to tow with the transfer shift lev-
er in “4H” or “4L” position (easy select
4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
(super select 4WD) and with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type A or B)
as illustrated. This could result in dam-
age to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever
to “2H” position or the transmission is
malfunctioning or damaged, transport
the vehicle with all the wheels on a car-
riage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle WARNING
l Do not crank the
engine
while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement

made while the
engine is running at high speed will cause damage
to the clutch and transmission because the tractive
force is very great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively. Starting and driving

MITSUBISHI TRITON 2011 Owners Manual indication lamp is illuminated when the Active
Stability Control function is OFF. CAUTION
l
When indication lamp blinks, Active
Stability Control function or active
trac-
tion cont

indication lamp is illuminated when the Active
Stability Control function is OFF. CAUTION
l
When indication lamp blinks, Active
Stability Control function or active
trac-
tion control function is operating, which
means that the road is slippery or that
your vehicle’s wheels are slipping exces-
sively. If this happens, drive slower with
less accelerator input.
l If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the indication lamp
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures: CAUTION
• If the temperature in the braking sys-
tem continues to increase

due to con-
tinuous brake control on a slippery
road surface, the indication lamp
will illuminate, and operation of

the
Active Stability Control function and
active traction control function will be
suspended to protect the brake sys-
tem. (Normal operation of the vehicle
will not be affected.) Park your vehi-
cle in a safe place. When the tempera-
ture in the braking system has come
down, the indication lamp will go
off and the Active Stability

Control
function and active traction control
function will start operating again.
• If the indication lamp does not go
out even though the above

procedure
is followed, there could be a problem
in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine
again and check whether the indi-
cation lamp goes out. If

the indication
lamp goes out, there is no abnormal
condition.
If the indication lamp illuminates
even after your vehicle is

driven a
short distance after restarting the en-
gine, we recommend you to have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. CAUTION
l
If the vehicle is
towed
with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the ASTC may op-
erate, resulting in an accident. When tow-
ing the vehicle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position. When tow-
ing the vehicle with the rear wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 6-20. Starting and driving
