 Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.

 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. During extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe engine runs at the proper speed and if the headlights are as
bright as normally.
Charge or replace the battery if necessary.During extreme cold weather, it is possi- ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-uptime to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that thetransaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubrication points. Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine coolant” on page 9-8.

All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such
conditions, pay close
attention to surrounding vehicles and to the condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives o
ff explosive hydrogen
gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

cle’s electrical system
and affect your vehicle
warranty. Many states and Canadi
an provinces require
special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required,
you should install spe-
cial mirrors if you ca
nnot clearly see behind
you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency if any
other items are recomm
ended or required for
your towing situation.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your trailer. Acquaintyourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. Always keep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is without a trailer. Before you start, check the trailer hitch, safety chains, tires and mirror adjustment.
Be sure your vehicle’s ti
res are inflated to the
cold inflation pressure listed in the manual. You’ll find these numbe
rs on the tire and
loading information placard at the sill of the driver’s door. Refer to “Tire inflati
on pressures” on page
9-18. Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid
situations that require
heavy braking and sud-
den turns. You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Additional trailer equipment Operating hints
WA R N I N G If you have a rear
window open and you
tow a trailer with yo
ur vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It can cause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24. To maximize your safety when towing a trailer: Have your exhaust system inspected for leaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip. Keep the rear
windows closed.
If exhaust does come into your vehicle through a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating orcooling system on an
d with the blower on
any speed. This will
bring fresh, outside
air into your vehicle. Do not use recircula-tion because it only recirculates the air inside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selection switch” on page 7-9.

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudde
n maneuvers. Signal
well in advance. Towing a trailer puts a
dditional burden on the
engine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating: When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately after towing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground) with the automatic transaxle in the “P”(PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the in
formation screen in
the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-62, 5-70.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone plac
e chocks or blocks
under both the vehicle
and trailer wheels.
Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow- ing a trailer.
