l Before using an automatic car wash, remove
the roof carrier.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) when installing a roof carrier.Trailer towing
E00610000550
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your
area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
When you are going to tow a trailer, move
the transfer shift lever to “4H” position.
Selecting the “2H” drive may increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in pos-sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications. (Referto “Vehicle weight” on page 11-07 .)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight
by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-
cations
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

Operating hints
l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with
M/T only) and do not increase the en-
gine speed more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph)* for trailer
operation. *: For vehicles with only front seats orvehicles with only front seats and sec-
ond seats (5-door models), 80 km/h
(50 mph) should be applied instead of 100 km/h (62 mph).
It is also recommended that you obey the
local regulations in case driving speed
with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before descend-
ing a slope.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with A/T
The 2nd
gear (in sports mode) is recommen-
ded on slopes or at low speed. Use the
1 st
gear (in sports mode) in mountainous
areas in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. How-
ever, be sure that the speed does not exceed the maximum speed limit for the selected
gear.

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.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow the vehicle. Please contact your author-
ized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for assistance.

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 “Emer- gency towing” in this part.

Towing
8-16OVWE16E1For emergencies8

The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D
or E) as illustrated. Never try to tow with the transfer shift lever in “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and with the front or rearwheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in driving sys-
tem damage or the vehicle may jump at the
carriage. If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position or the transmis-sion is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the vehicle with all wheels on a carriage
(Type D or E) as illustrated.
l As your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and only
the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active Traction
Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.CAUTIONl If you tow vehicles with
A/T with the driv-
ing wheels on the ground (Type B) as illus-
trated, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission.

Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)

Diesel-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg-
ulations.
Towing with front wheels off
the ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position ( M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (A/T).
Release the parking brake.
CAUTIONl Never tow an
A/T vehicle with the front
wheels up (and the rear wheels on the ground) (Type B) when the A/T fluid level islow. This may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
Towing
8-17OVWE16E1For emergencies8

Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position ( M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position ( A/T). Turn the
ignition key to the “ACC” position and se-
cure the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a rope or tie-down strap. Neverplace the ignition switch in the “LOCK” po-sition when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer- gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks (A) and rear
towing hooks (B) are located as shown
in the illustrations. Secure the tow rope to the towing hook.
Rear
NOTEl Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.NOTEl Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ig-
nition switch to the “ACC” or “ON” po- sition to unlock the steering wheel.
CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering pump do not op- erate. This means higher brake depression
force and higher steering effort are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is more difficult
than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (with M/T) or the se-
lector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition (with A/T).
4. Shift the transfer shift lever to “2H” po-
sition.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving laws and regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
