Economical drivingE00600101076
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts,
as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode
(4WD vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to
“2WD” when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible fuel
economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con- sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a
slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al-
so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.
Economical driving
6-02OGAE17E2Starting and driving6

NOTElDriving on rough roads can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soonas possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. Avoid driving on steep slopes even
though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Driving through water
E00618900106
If the electrical circuits become wet, further operation of the vehicle will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driving through water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through wa-ter is unavoidable, use the following proce-
dure:

Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Driveslowly to avoid creating excessive water
splashing.
CAUTIONl Never drive through water that is deep
enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or ex-
haust pipe. Do not change the gearshift lever position ( M/T) or the selector lever position
(A/T or CVT) while driving through water.
Frequent driving through water can adverse-
ly affect the life span of the vehicle; we rec- ommend you to take the necessary measuresto prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.
l After driving through water, apply the
brakes to be sure they are functioning prop- erly. If the brakes are wet and not function-
ing properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal. In- spect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700338
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.
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 checked as soon
as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom- mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606802085
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the
very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the
brake system repaired.
WARNINGl Do not turn off the engine while your ve-
hicle is in motion. If you turn off the en-
gine while driving, the power assistance for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly, have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warning display
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. A warning
is also displayed on the multi-information display. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-45 and “Brake warning display” on
page 5-46.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake
discs and prevent normal braking after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the en-
gine braking by shifting to a lower shift posi- tion while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
WARNINGl Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do- ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operatedfreely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.Brake pad
l Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km (124 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake pads have reached their wear limit. Ifyou hear this sound, have the brake padsreplaced immediately.
WARNINGl Driving with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent.Hill start assist*
E00628000155
The hill start assist makes it easy to start offon a steep uphill slope by preventing the ve-
hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.

Warning display type 1Warning display type 2NOTElThe combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.CAUTIONl If the warning is displayed, the hill start as-
sist will not operate. Start off carefully.CAUTIONl Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the warning display went out, in which case the
hill start assist is again working normally.
If the warning remains displayed or reap-
pears frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but the vehicle
should be inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon
as possible.Brake assist system
E00627001588
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
CAUTIONl The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between vehicles in front of
you without relying too much on the brake
assist system.NOTEl Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully de- pressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly. [Except for vehicles equipped
with Active Stability Control (ASC)]
l When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is
operating normally.

Operating hints
l To prevent the clutch from slipping (Ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start- ing off.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. 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 shift point before de- scending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehi- cles equipped with an A/T or
CVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes
or at low speed.
Use the sports mode in mountainous areas in order to make better use of engine braking
and to assist the brake system. However, be
sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi- mum speed limit for the selected shift posi- tion.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should
overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro- ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant
level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.

2.Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish to change.WARNINGl Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there
are no sand or pebbles under the jack base.3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the
top of the jack.
4. Check that the flange portion at the jack-
ing point fits in the groove at the top of the jack.
Insert the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E).
Then put the end of the jack bar into the
shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustra- tion.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until
the tyre is raised slightly off the ground
surface.WARNINGl Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
