!If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly
installed, it can interfere with the operation of the
pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unin-
tended acceleration and/or increased stopping dis-
tances resulting in a crash and injury. Always make
sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accel-
erator or brake pedal.Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floor-
board to secure the floor mat.
Always install the mat with the correct side facing
down.Never install a second mat over or under an existing
floor mat.Do not use a floor mat designed for another model
vehicle even if it is a Mitsubishi genuine floor mat.

Loading cargo on the roof
N00630400096
NOTETo prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage,
remove the roof carrier when not in use.
Before using an automatic car wash, check with the atten-
dant to determine if the roof carrier should be removed.
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising
the sunroof and/or flap-fold tailgate when installing a roof
carrier. (For vehicle with sunroof only)
WA R N I N G
!Weight placed on the roof of the vehicle will raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity and adversely affect its
handling characteristics. As a result, driving errors
or emergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of con-
trol and result in an accident. Drive slowly and
avoid excessive maneuvers such as sudden braking
or quick turning.Make sure that the weight of luggage and the roof
carrier do not exceed the maximum roof load, 110 lb
(50 kg). If the maximum roof load is exceeded, this
could cause damage to the vehicle or result in an
accident.The total weight of all occupants and luggage,
including your roof load, must not exceed the vehicle
capacity weight. For more information, refer to
“Tire and loading information placard” on page 9-4Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the
roof carrier and the weight of the luggage placed on
the roof carrier.For additional information, refer to “Maximum roof
load” on page 9-7.
CAUTION
!Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof
carrier that properly fits your vehicle.
For installation, refer to the instruction manual pro-
vided with the roof carrier.Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the
bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.Before driving and after traveling a short distance,
always check the load to make sure it is securely fas-
tened to the roof carrier.
Stop the vehicle periodically and check that the load
remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall
from the vehicle and damage your vehicle, another
vehicle or create a road hazard.

Trailer hitchesChoose a proper hitch and ball, and make sure it is installed at a
height that is compatible with the trailer.
Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformly distributes the
trailer tongue load throughout the frame.NOTEMitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used
whenever you are towing, to improve towing stability.
For further information, please contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chainsA safety chain must always be used between the towing vehi-
cle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns.
The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the
tongue from dropping to the ground in case it becomes dam-
aged or separated.
For correct safety chain procedures, consult your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Maintenance when trailer towingYour vehicle will need service more often when you’re towing
a trailer. Refer to “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”. Especially important in trailer operation are man-
ual transaxle oil, automatic transaxle fluid, engine oil, rear axle
oil, belt, cooling system and brake system. Each of these is
covered in this manual.
For details, please refer to the “Vehicle care and maintenance”
section.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.
WA R N I N G
!If you make any holes in the body of your vehicle for
installing a trailer hitch, be sure to seal the holes
later when you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal
them, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your
exhaust can enter your vehicle. Refer to “Exhaust
system” on page 7-38.
CAUTION
!Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain
securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle.
If the coupling unit or hitch ball experiences a prob-
lem, the trailer may separate from your vehicle.
