Cargo loadsE00609901123
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl When loading luggage, be careful to the
following. •Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not
to be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the
instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury.Trailer towing E00610000677
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area.CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE
l If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight” on page 9-10.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by
10 % of the gross combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifications
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the
towing bar.Club cab

Item 7, 8, 9, 10, 11: at kerb weight
*: 2WD vehicles with 15 inch tyres
NOTE
l The values under item 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 are ap-
plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size,
optional equipment and suspension condi-
tions.Operating hints
l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/
a only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed for trailer operation.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption.

Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission
The 2 nd
gear (in “Sports mode”) is recommended
on slopes or at low speed. Use the 1 st
gear (in
“Sports mode”) in mountainous areas in order to
make better use of engine braking and to assist the
brake system. However, be sure that the speed does
not exceed the maximum speed limit for the selec-
ted gear.

Before you can make or receive hands-free calls or
play music using the Bluetooth ®
2.0 interface func-
tion, you must pair the Bluetooth ®
device and Blue-
tooth ®
2.0 interface.
NOTE l Pairing is required only when the device is
used for the first time. Once the device has
been paired with the Bluetooth ®
2.0 inter-
face, you only need to bring the device into
the vehicle next time and the device will au-
tomatically connect to the Bluetooth ®
2.0 in-
terface (if supported by the device).
Up to 7 Bluetooth ®
devices can be paired with the
Bluetooth ®
2.0 interface.
If multiple paired Bluetooth ®
devices are available
in the vehicle, the cellular phone or music player
most recently connected is automatically connected
to the Bluetooth ®
2.0 interface.
You can also change a Bluetooth ®
device to be con-
nected.
To pair
To pair a Bluetooth ®
device with the Bluetooth ®
2.0 interface, follow the steps below. 1.Stop your vehicle in a safe area, put the gear-
shift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position
(M/T ), or the selector lever in the “P”
(PARK) position ( A/T), and pull the parking
brake lever.NOTE
l You cannot pair Bluetooth ®
devices with the
Bluetooth ®
2.0 interface unless the vehicle is
parked. Before pairing a Bluetooth ®

If the vehicle breaks downE00800101166
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to
the shoulder and use the hazard warning flashers and/
or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page
3-34.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the en-
gine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware
of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative and
the pedal effort will increase. Press down the
brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering pump is no longer
operative, the steering wheel feels heavy
when turning it.Emergency starting E00800502112
If the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the in-
struction manual. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground connec-
tion you don’t want. The vehicle will not
start, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles.
2. You could be injured if the vehicles move.
Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle.
Put an automatic transmission in “P”
(PARK) or a manual transmission in “N”
(Neutral). Turn off the ignition switch.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
NOTE
l Turn off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper
level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
4. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B).
