Crossing a stream
4-wheel drive vehicles are not necessarilywaterproof. If the electrical circuits become
wet, further operation of the vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid crossing streams
unless absolutely necessary. If crossing a stream is unavoidable, use the following pro-
cedure: 1. Check depths of a stream and geographi-
cal features before attempting to cross a stream and ford the stream where the
water is as shallow as practicable.
2. Set the transfer shift lever to “4L” posi-
tion (easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position (super select 4WD).
3. Drive slowly at a speed of approximate-
ly 5 km/h (3 mph) to avoid splashing too
much water.
CAUTIONl Never cross a stream where the water is
deep.
Do not change gears while crossing the stream.
Frequent crossing of streams can adversely
affect the life span of the vehicle; we recom- mend you to take the necessary measures toprepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.After crossing a stream, apply the brakes to
be sure they are functioning properly. If the
brakes are wet and not functioning properly,
dry them out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700048
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
After washing, 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 crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and take the necessary
measures.
• Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level
and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpetetc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, we
recommend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606800368
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af- fected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-19.

E00713101938CAUTIONlNever leave lighters, cans of carbonated
drink, and spectacles in the cabin when park-ing the vehicle in hot sunshine. The cabin will become extremely hot, so lighters and
other flammable items may catch fire and unopened drink cans (including beer cans)
may rupture. The heat may also deform or crack plastic spectacle lenses and other spec-
tacle parts that are made of plastic.
l Keep the lids of storage spaces closed while
driving the vehicle. A lid or the contents of a
storage space could otherwise cause injuries.NOTEl Do not leave valuables in any storage space
when leaving the vehicle.

7.Remove dipstick and read the automatic
transmission fluid level.
The fluid level should always be be-
tween the two marks on the dipstick.WARNINGl Do not spill the fluid onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspection, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use only “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU-
INE ATF SP III” transmission fluid to ensure
optimum transmission performance.
CAUTIONl For the automatic transmission fluid, use on-
ly the MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
ATF SP III.
Use of a different fluid could damage the transmission.Washer fluid
E01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is inthe engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular inter- vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-
essary.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000900935
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.

Replacement of lamp bulbsE01003100710
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You couldotherwise be burnt.NOTEl If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to consult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob- lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to have the lamp checked.Bulb capacity
E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with
the same wattage and colour.

CAUTIONl Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care. The
gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is highly pres- surized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching
a halogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are op-
erated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., and
refit it after drying it thoroughly.
