er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is
low.
• Check engine warning lamp is illuminated
or the “
” display/indicator is blinking.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving because this will cause detec-
tion of clutch pedal malfunction and blink-
ing of Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF dis- play/indicator, and the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate.
l If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioning is operating,

automatically even if the engine was stopped
by the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system. Pay attention, otherwise an unexpected accidentmight occur when the engine restarts.
• Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting down a slope.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
• When the preset temperature of the air

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.

How to use the rear-view cam-era
When you place the gearshift lever or selec- tor lever in the “R” position with the ignition
switch or the operation mode in ON, the view behind the vehicle will automatically appear
on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi
Communication System (MMCS) or the DIS- PLAY AUDIO. When you move the gear-
shift lever or the selector lever to any other
position, the screen will return to its original indication.
CAUTIONl The rear-view camera has a special lens that
can make objects shown on the screen ap- pear to be closer or further away than they
actually are.NOTEl Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime).
• When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into
the lens.
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta- minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-
tion.
• Do not subject the camera to physical
shock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
• Do not splash the camera with boiling wa-
ter.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
Reference lines on the screen
Reference lines and upper surface of the rear
bumper (A) are displayed on the screen.
l Red line (B) indicates approximately
50 cm behind the rear bumper.
l Two Green lines (C) indicate approxi-
mately 20 cm outside of the vehicle body.
l Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate
distance from the rear bumper.Check surroundings for safety.
1. Approximately at the rear edge of the rear bumper
2. Approximately 100 cm
3. Approximately 200 cm
NOTEl It is possible to change the display language
of the screen.
