NOTElThe use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting).CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could
cause skidding and spinouts.
Driving on sandy or muddy
roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4H” or “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (Super select 4WD II) and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal
for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTIONl Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly
on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are put under ex-
cessive strain when driving on such a sur-
face, and this could lead to accidents.CAUTIONl If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and follow these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gauge ap-
proaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-09.
• Automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on.
Refer to “When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on” on page 6-34.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward or backward, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.NOTEl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in thevehicle becoming stuck.NOTEl If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved a rock-
ing motion. Move the selector lever rhythmi-
cally between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) position (with M/T, between 1 st
and Reverse), while applying slight pressure to the accelerator pedal.
l It is recommended to start the vehicle with
parking brake partially, but not completely, applied by slightly pulling the parking brake
lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do not forget to release the parking brake.
l If it is necessary to drive in extremely mud-
dy conditions, the use of tyre chains is rec-
ommended. Because the extent of muddy conditions is difficult to judge and the vehi-
cle could become bogged down very deeply,
operation should be at a low speed. If possi- ble, get out of the vehicle and check the con-
ditions ahead before proceeding.
l Driving over roads in coastal areas or roads
on which anti-skid preparations have been
spread can cause rust on the vehicle; wash
the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing sharp grades
Set the drive mode-selector to “4L” position
(Easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position (Super
select 4WD II) to maximize the engine tor-
que.

NOTE•The brake pedal has been depressed, and
the system judges that it was sudden brak-
ing from the vehicle deceleration and the operating condition of the anti-lock brake
system (ABS).
[Deactivating condition for the emergency stop signal system]
It deactivates when one of the following conditions is met.
• The brake pedal is released.
• The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
• The system judges that it was not sudden
braking from the vehicle deceleration and
the operating condition of the anti-lock brake system (ABS).Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) E00607102577
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps pre-vent the wheels from locking during braking.
This helps maintain vehicle drivability and
steering wheel handling.
Driving hints
l Always keep a safe distance from the ve-
hicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with ABS, leave a great-
er braking distance when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with tyre chains installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences in surface height.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud-denly. This system may also prevent the
wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road sur-
face.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi-
brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal re- sists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced brak- ing performance.
l An operation noise is emitted from the
engine compartment or you can feel a shock from the brake pedal when start-
ing to drive immediately after starting
the engine. These are normal sounds or operations that the ABS makes whenperforming a self-check. It does not indi-
cate a malfunction.l The ABS can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops working when the vehicle slows below 7 km/h.CAUTIONl The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.
l To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure all 4
wheels and tyres are the same size and the same type.
l Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABS may stop functioning properly.ABS warning lamp

CAUTION•When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow or fog, or when running against the sun.
• When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway junction.
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud- dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac- tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic work zone.
• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
• When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be- comes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in front this is running too close to the mark-
ing).
• When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated- ly.
• When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or multiple lanes are crossing each other.CAUTION• When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
• When driving on a winding or rough road.
• When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice, etc.
• When passing through a place where the
brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel.
• When turning steep curves.
• When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
• Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
• When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head- lamps.
• When the vehicle is leaning much to one
side due to heavy luggage on it or improp-
erly adjusted tyre pressures.
• When oncoming vehicles’ headlamps
shine the LDW camera.
• When the vehicle is equipped with non-
standard tyres (including excessively
worn tyres and temporary spare tyre), uses snow traction device (tyre chains), or has non-specified components such as a
modified suspension.
• When the windscreen is covered with rain
water, snow, dust, etc.CAUTIONl Follow the instructions given below to keep
your LDW in good operating conditions.
• Always keep the windscreen clean.
• Avoid applying a strong shock or pressure
to the LDW camera. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
• Disturbing the installation of the LDW
camera or its removal is under no circum-
stances permitted. The camera has been precisely oriented at the factory.
• Do not put anything like a sticker on the
area in front of the LDW camera lens of the windscreen.
• Use only

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.

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve- hicle and the front and rear tyres on the right-hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve- hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves
forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the wrong direction will not perform to its fullpotential.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002002022
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50 % is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Snow traction device (Tyre
chains)
E01002103219
If snow traction device (tyre chains) have to
be used, ensure that they are fitted only on
the drive wheels (rear) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
