Cargo loadsE00609901224
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl When loading luggage, be careful to the fol-
lowing.
• Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage
compartment whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to
be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the in-
strument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seats.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and your cargo being thrown inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle.
Do not load luggage directly onto the roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.Roof carrier mounting brack-
ets*3-door models5-door models
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A). The brackets (A) are located
under each roof drip moulding (B).
NOTEl We recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brack-
ets to be used have a special shape. For de-
tails, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.Roof carrier precautionCAUTIONl Make sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For specific figures, please refer to “Maxi-
mum roof load” on page 11-07 .
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve- hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma-
noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that
the load remains secure.
