process
E00627901066
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from usual while the learning process is taking
place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly
E00632901093
Insert the keyless operation key into the key
slot. Starting the engine and changing the op- eration mode should now be possible.

Diesel particulate filter
(DPF) E00619801457
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-05.

If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the 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 automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change
E00604801882
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. Immediately have
your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2 nd
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).
NOTEl When the selector lever position display in
the instrument panel blinks, it means that
there is an abnormal condition in the trans- mission.

Check that your towing bar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence plate when the trailer or caravan is disconnected. Ifit obscures the licence plate, please remove
the towing bar coupling ball. And if the tow-
ing bar coupling ball is lockable by using a
key or any kind of tools, please remove the coupling ball and use a towing bar coupling
ball which can be removed or repositioned
without the use of a key or any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country.
You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.NOTEl If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications. (Referto “Vehicle weight” on page 11-11.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight
by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
