lCarefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, we recommend
you to have the brakes checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606800818
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-14.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.TowingCAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.

lInspection of the vehicle’s underside re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow the vehicle.
Please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance.

Only when you cannot receive a towing serv-
ice from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accord-
ance with the instructions given in “Emer- gency towing” in this part.
The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle. Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l Do not tow 2WD vehicles with CVT with
the driving wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustrated.
This could result in the driving system dam- age.
l Do not tow 4WD vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in drivingsystem damage or the vehicle may jump at
the carriage.
If you tow 4WD vehicles, use Type D or E
equipment.
l On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
l 4WD vehicles cannot be towed with only the
front or rear tyres on the ground even if they
are in “2WD” drive mode.
