Economical drivingE00600100620
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts;
such operation will result in higher fuel con-
sumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when driving 4WD vehicles on normal roads
and express ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low gear at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more fuel
consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal will
save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
cargo area. Especially during city driving where frequent starting and stopping is nec-
essary, the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes morefuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning*
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200012
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation.

CAUTIONlSelecting “4H” or “4L” position (easy select
4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super
select 4WD) to drive on dry paved road will
increase the fuel consumption with possible noise generation and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential oil tem- perature, resulting in possible damage to the
driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possibly leading to oilleakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the transfer shift lever to “4H” or “4L”
position (easy select 4WD), “4H” or “4HLc” position (super select 4WD) in accordance
with the road conditions, and then gradually
depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
NOTEl The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting).CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could
cause skidding and spinouts.
Driving on sandy or muddy
roads
Set the transfer shift lever to “4H” or “4L”
position (easy select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super select 4WD) and then
gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a
smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTIONl Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly
on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor-
mal road surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are put under ex- cessive strain when driving on such a sur-
face, and this could lead to accidents.
l If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and follow these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gauge ap-
proaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page
8-04.CAUTION• Automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on.
Refer to “When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on” on page 6-23.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward or backward, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.NOTEl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in thevehicle becoming stuck.
l If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved a rock-
ing motion. Move the selector lever rhythmi- cally between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) position (with M/T, between 1 st
and Reverse), while applying slight pressure
to the accelerator pedal.

lBe sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of
the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever 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 different
size, 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 to oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to
have it done by your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.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 “Towing”
on page 8-22 .
Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles

Spare wheelE00801100094
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of the cargo bed.
A- Spare wheel
CAUTIONl When removing the spare wheel, put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with your
bare hands may cause injury to the fingers.CAUTIONl Check the air pressure of the spare wheel
frequently and make sure it is ready for
emergency use at any time.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-12.)
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can always be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
To remove
1. Set the jack handle. (Club cab, Double
cab with rear retractable power window
only)
(Refer to “To use the jack handle” on page 8-13.)
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B)
below the rear gate.
3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack
handle into the holder (D) of the spare
wheel carrier.
