If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the A/T makes no speed
change
E00604800348
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendyou to have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2nd
gear
of the “Sports mode”.
This method might not work depending
on the transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level
road, move the selector lever back to
“D” (DRIVE).Super select 4WD II (SS4 II)

WARNING•If the rear differential lock is used by
mistake when driving on a paved road: With the rear differential lock on, thepower to drive the vehicle straight
ahead becomes very strong, which may
make it difficult to turn the steering
wheel.WARNINGl If the rear differential lock is used by mis-
take when turning a curve or making a
right or left turn at a crossing or the like:
The vehicle is unable to make a turn and may go straight ahead.WARNINGl If the rear differential lock is used by mis-
take except when making an emergencyescape on snow or frozen road: It be-
comes difficult to make a steady turn.
l In the case where the condition of the
road is different for the right tyre to drive from the left tyre (such as one tyre on a
paved road and the other on ice), direc- tion of the vehicle may change abruptly
when engine braking or accelerating.
Do not use the rear differential lock ex- cept when making an emergency escape
on a snow or frozen road, but drive with 4WD.4-wheel drive operation
E00606600627
By selecting 4-wheel drive, both axles of the
vehicle are rigidly connected with each other. This improves the traction characteristics. When turning sharp corners or moving for-
ward and backward repeatedly, however, the drive line is stressed, which is felt as a brak-
ing effect. A 4-wheel drive vehicle can accel-
erate more quickly and smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance is not shorter than that of a rear-wheel drive ve-hicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads
(snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is important to op- erate the vehicle correctly.

ques of vehicle operation described herein depend on the skill and experience of the op- erator and other participating parties and any
deviation from the recommended operation
instructions above is at their own risk.
Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in the “4HLc”
or “4LLc” position at low speed, a slight dif-
ference in steering may be experienced simi- lar to as if the brakes were applied. This is
called tight corner braking and results from each of the 4 tyres being at a different dis-tance from the corner.
The phenomenon is peculiar to 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten the steering wheel, or change to rear-wheel drive.
Crossing a stream
4-wheel drive vehicles are not necessarily waterproof. 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. Cross at a place where the water is less
than 70 cm deep.
3. Set the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc”
position.
4. Drive slowly at a speed of approximate-
ly 5 km/h (3 mph) to avoid splashing too
much water.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to cross a stream at a place
where the water is more than 70 cm deep.
l Cross a stream temporarily for emergencies
and avoid doing so for a long period of time.
l 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.NOTEl Because the inside of the vehicle is flooded
with water when crossing at a place where
the water is more than 50 cm deep, we rec- ommend you to have your vehicle inspected.NOTEl 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.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

If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 6-52, you can resume the previously set
speed by pressing the “ACC RES” switch (C)
while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.
Under either of the following conditions,however, using the switch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In these

Tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS)* E00637100077
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The base tyre pressure can be set at desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two sets of tyres can be registered by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by the multi-information display switch. (It’s
beneficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)NOTEl The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularlychecking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures as described in “Tyres” on page 10-12.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.
Replace rubber air value (C) with a new one when the tyre is replaced.
For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l The spare tyre also has tyre inflation pres-
sure sensor, so it can be used for tyre rota- tion.

procedure. 1. Transit the display by the button (A) un-
til the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) SET indicator is displayed.
2. Hold down the button (A) for 10 seconds or more.
(Although the reset execution starts at
holding down the button for 3 seconds,
keep holding down the button continu-
ously.)
3. The valid tyre ID set is changed, and the
number of the tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) SET indicator is changed.
NOTEl Each time this procedure is done, the tyre ID
set is changed. (1 - 2 - 1 - 2 …)
l The tyre ID set is NOT changed, in case that
only 1 set of ID is registered.
l When changing the tyre ID set, the reset
function of low tyre pressure warning
threshold is automatically started. (The warning lamp start flashing slowly.) If the
tyre is warm at this time. the reset function
should be executed again when the tyre is cold.Reversing sensor system*
E00615500055
This system operates when you are backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an obstacle and sounds a buzzer to in-form you of the approximate distance to the
obstacle.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do
not place excessive confidence in the revers- ing sensor system and operate the vehicle ascarefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing sensor system alone.Corner and back sensor loca-
tions
E00618500014
There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor- ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the spare wheel garnish.

6-57OVWE16E1Starting and driving6
Obstacle detection areas
E00615600261
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il- lustration. Because the back sensors are built
in the overhanging area of the vehicle (spare
wheel garnish), the sensors are unable to de- tect low or thin obstacles, or obstacles on the
bottom of the spare wheel garnish or the bot- tom of the centre of the rear bumper. Thus,
make sure to check the surroundings as you
operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Reversing sensor system detec- tion areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towing bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the system to exclude thearea in which the towing bar is mounted from
the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C) are within approximately 20 cm (D)
from the bumper.
NOTEl If the rear bumper or the spare wheel garnish
has been exposed to an impact, the corner orback sensors may fail and prevent the sys-
tem from functioning properly. We recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
l The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than themounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting
it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 6-60.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
