Your vehicle has been
designed primarily for
use on pavement. But its unique 4 -wheel
drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but al
so permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or towing in rough conditions. It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not gi
ve sufficient hill
climbing ability and e
ngine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving onsteep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficie
nt traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.
When the ECO mode switch is ON
NOTE
 If the drive mode is switched in any mode after the drive mode is switched in “AWCECO”, the drive mode will not be changed even if the ECO mode switch is switched OFF.
4-wheel drive operation
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on th
e 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim- its to the system and ability to maintaincontrol and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Al
ways drive carefully,
taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating
this vehicle on or
off-pavement can cause an accident orrollover in which you
and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you le
ave the pavement, be
sure all scheduled ma
intenance and service
has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay spec
ial attention to the
condition of the ti
res, and check the tire pres-
sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligent operation of a vehicl
e. All techniques of
vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the opera
tor and other partici-
pating parties. Any de
viation from the rec-
ommended operating instru
ctions above is at
their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle.When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a sufficient dist
ance between your vehi-
cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture s
hould be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle
and wash it thoroughly
with water. Refer to the “Inspection and maintenance followi
ng rough road opera-
tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte-nance” sections.

N00937701942
It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oil change intervals. Befo
re starting the engine,
check the engine oil leve
l. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level,
remove the dipstick,
wipe it off, and gently reinsert it all the way.Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. The oil level must not goabove the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum am
ount of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
Engine oil and oil filter To check and refill engine oil
NOTE
 If it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipe off the dipstick and
reinsert it. Wait a
moment and then recheck the oil level by checking the upper surface of the dipstick.
CAUTION Overfilling will cause
oil aeration and loss of
oil pressure, which coul
d damage the engine.
2.4 L models3.0 L models
WA R N I N GUsed engine oil is po
isonous, and can dam-
age your skin. Prolonged and repeatedcontact may cause serious skin disorders,including dermatitis and cancer. Do not let used oil touch your sk
in and wash thor-
oughly after working with it. Keep used oil out of
the reach of children.
NOTE
Engine oil consumption
is greatly influenced
by payload, engine speed, etc.  The engine oil wi
ll deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to
severe conditions (for
example, repeated operation on rough roads, in mountainous regions, on roads with many uphill and downhill grad
ients, or over short
distances). Consequently
, the oil will require
earlier replacement in accordance with the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAIN-TENANCE MANUAL”.

The radiator cap must be sealed tight to pre- vent losing coolant, which may result in engine damage. Only use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts radiator cap, or anapproved equivalent.  Do not overfill the reserve tank.
 Your vehicle uses a
special radiator cap
that stays sealed and lets the coolant flowfrom the reserve tank back to the radiator when the engine cools down. If you need to change the cap, use the exact samekind.  Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only whenit is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con- tents of the reserve ta
nk must be protected
against freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean. If the engine coolan
t temperature does not
rise after the engine
is warmed-up, take
your vehicle to an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.

The air cleaner filter
will get dirty and dusty
from use and not filter
properly. Replace it
with a new filter using the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
1. For 2.4 L models, remove the two clips (A), then remove the Air duct (B). 2. For 2.4 L models,
while holding down the
tab (C), pull out the connector (D).
 Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water by itself boils at
a lower temperature
and does not stop rust or freezing. If thewater freezes, it will
damage your cooling
system. Do not use ta
pwater. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
Radiator cap
WA R N I N G Wait for the engine to cool down before opening the radiator
cap. Otherwise hot
steam or boiling c
oolant could spray up
from the radiator and scald you.
