Filling the fuel tank 3-4 General information
3
All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L) Front-wheel drive vehicles: 16.6 gal (63 L) 1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release le
ver located at the left
side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counter- clockwise. 4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap cord on the hook located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct handling of the fuel filler noz-zle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the noz- zle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it goes. 6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to add more fuel.
 Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.

WA R N I N G Since the fuel system may be under pres- sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac- uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.CAUTION Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and cata-lytic converter damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be attempted.CAUTION To avoid fuel spillage
and overfilling, do not
“top-off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paint- work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe itoff with a soft cloth.

Tire pressure monitoring system
Features and controls 5-79

Type 1 Type 2Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressurefor those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a ti
re pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pres
sure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tire causes the tire tooverheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stopping ability. Pleasenote that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combinedwith the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min-ute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunctionexists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not be able to detect orsignal low tire pressure as intended.
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illuminate when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitoring system isnot working properly. Have the system inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.In such situations,
a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking,sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated. The warning light will issue further warnings each time the engine is restarted as long as the malfunctionexists. Check to see whether the warning light goes off after few minutes driving.If it then goes off during driving, there is no problem. However, if the warning light does not gooff, or if it blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations,
a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp turning andhigh-speed driving.
NOTE
 In addition, the warning display is displayed on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.

Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track, which enables them toperform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear- ance, these vehicles have a higher center ofgravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave- ment. They are not designed to maneuver orcorner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel drive passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designedto perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehiclecarefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in a manner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles ofthis type, failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig- nificantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Before starting the vehi-
cle, always make certain that you and all your passengers are properly wearing their seat belts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).

Fuel economy is dependent on many factors.Your personal driving habits can have a sig-nificant effect on your fuel use. Several rec-ommendations for achieving the greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate slowly and smoothly. When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off.  Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. When you drive on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode-selec- tor “2WD” or “4WD AUTO” position (ifso equipped).  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according to the recommenda- tions in this manual.
 Always keep your vehicle well main- tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.

Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability can be seriouslyimpaired even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designatednon-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doctor orpharmacist before driving while under the influence of any of these medications.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors and lift- gate are locked.  Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still keeping good visibil- ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls.Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible problem. In the same way, the front passenger seat should also be moved as far back as possi- ble. Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. Youshould be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (wind-shield, door windows)” on page 7-8, 7-13, 7-18, 7-23. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Checkthe wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out. As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, therefore, be performedonly by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turnsignal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you needto find out why immediately and have it fixed.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury. However, ifyou give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for the safe and satisfactory operation of yourvehicle. The wrong tire pressure will cause problems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in thetire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then cause tire damage thatmay result in tire failure.  Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding experience built into your vehicle partly depends on the correcttire pressure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow torespond. Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-2.) The recommended infl
ation pressures under
normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below. Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures change severely, because tire pressures change with outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold inflation pressure”. Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked for at least threehours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side- wall. After driving several miles, your tire inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the specified cold pressure, or your tires will betoo low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower than the others, check thepressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety precautions:  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.)  Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed.  Drive at safe speeds.  After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.
