CAUTIONsuddenly; consequently, avoid driving athigh speeds or applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, the vehicle should be brought
to a stop in a safe location and to have it checked.
• The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake
is released.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp” on page 6-43.
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
• The brake warning buzzer does not turn
off.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.NOTEl In certain cases immediately after the engine
has been started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by operation of brake devices may be heard coming from the engine compartment. At
this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. This type of
noise or shock is normal and there is no need for concern. In fact, they indicate that the
corresponding devices are operating normal- ly.
l The brake system uses brake fluid pressur-
ized by the pump.

Running-in recommendationsE00600403901
During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline to aid long life as well as future economy and performance.
l Do not race the engine at high speeds.
l Avoid rapid starting, accelerating, braking and prolonged high-speed running.
l Keep to the running-in speed limit shown below.
Please note that the legal speed limits must be adhered to.
l Do not exceed loading limits.
l Refrain from towing a trailer.Vehicles with M/TShift pointSpeed limit2H, 4H, 4HLc4LLc1st

Running-in recommendations
6-04OVWE16E1Starting and driving6

•Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpet
etc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, we
recommend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606800401
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af- fected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-11.
l Be 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 10-15.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.
l If the tyre inflation pressure is inappro-
priate, the transfer gear may make some
noise and shock while changing the drive mode.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres which differ in
size, type, brand or the degree of wear will
cause excessive loading, resulting in possi- ble damage to the drive system.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 8-16.Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles
6-38OVWE16E1Starting and driving6

CAUTIONlIf the temperature in the braking system in-
creases excessively due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, a warning
buzzer will sound intermittently to warn the driver. If driving continues in spite of the
buzzer and the temperature in the braking
system increases further, the
indication
lamp will illuminate, the warning buzzer will sound continuously for approximately
3 seconds, and active traction control func- tion operation will be suspended to protectthe braking system. (Normal operation of thevehicle will not be affected.) If the vehicle is
stopped and the
indication lamp goes off,
the active traction control function will start
operating again.
Active traction control function
indication lamp
E00614200127
The indication lamp (1) should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and should go off after a few seconds.
If the indication lamp stays on or does not il-
luminate when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected.
When the active Traction Control System op-
erates, the active traction control function in-dication lamp (1) blinks and the indication
lamp for the wheel (2) being subjected to an- tispin control also blinks.
Example indication: Active traction con- trol function controlling front-right wheel
NOTEl In the event of a fault in the Active Stability
Control function, the and indication
lamps illuminate. As a result, an indication
of the active traction control function is limi- ted to flashing of the indication lamp for the
wheel (2) being subjected to antispin con- trol.CAUTIONl If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position. When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-16.Cruise control*
E00609100519
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.

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).
