4.Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (B).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
WARNINGl Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (C), because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.Bleeding the fuel system
E00800701423

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.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.
6. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTIONl Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
7. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (G), hub bolts (H) or in the installa- tion holes (I) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare wheel.
WARNINGl Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (J) facing outboard. If you cannot see the valve stem (J), you have installed the wheel backwards.

Towing
E00801505846
If your vehicle needs to be tow-
ed

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.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to
tow the vehicle. Please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance.

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 “Emer-gency towing” in this part.
Towing
8-24OKTE17E1For emergencies8

CAUTIONlNever tow an automatic transmission vehicle
with the front wheels up (and the rear wheels
on the ground) (Type B) when the automatic transmission fluid level is low. This may
cause serious and expensive damage to the
transmission.
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual transmission) or the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (auto- matic transmission). Turn the ignition switch
to the “ACC” position or put the operation mode in ACC and secure the steering wheel
in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie- down strap. Never place the ignition switch
in the “LOCK” position or put the operation
mode in OFF when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer- gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points.
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEl Using any part other than the designated
towing hooks could result in damage to the
vehicle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can damage the vehicle body.NOTEl Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the steer- ing wheel.
[Except for vehicles with keyless opera-
tion system]
On vehicles with manual transmission, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position.
[For vehicles with the keyless operation
system]

Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.WARNINGl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering pump do notoperate. This means higher brake depres-sion force and higher steering effort arerequired. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.CAUTIONl Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion).
4. On 4WD vehicles, set the drive mode se-
lector to the “2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.WARNINGl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving operation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness. Have your vehicle transported by a tow
truck.CAUTIONl The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.CAUTIONl When a vehicle with an automatic transmis-
sion is to be towed by another vehicle with
all the wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, avoiding damage to the
transmission.

Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle (vehicles with rear towing hook only)
The rear towing hook is located as shown inthe illustration. Secure the tow rope to the
rear towing hook.

Otherwise, the instructions are the same as
for “When being towed by another vehicle”.NOTEl Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to thevehicle body.CAUTIONl On vehicles with super select 4WD II, when
you are going to tow another vehicle, set the drive mode-selector to “4H” position.Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif-
ferential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading possibly leading to oilleakage, component seizure, or other serious
faults.NOTEl Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.Operation under adverse
driving conditions E00801704085
On a flooded road
lAvoid flooded roads. In the event driv-
ing flooded roads, doing so may causethe following serious damage to the ve-
hicle. • Engine stalling
• Short in electrical components
• Engine damage caused by water im-
mersion
After driving on flooded roads, be sure
to have an inspection at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and
take the necessary measures or repair.
On a wet road
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items:

(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed. (b) Do not drive on worn tyres. (c) Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
