After operating the vehicle in rough road con- ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:  Check that the vehicle has not been dam- aged by rocks, gravel, etc.  Carefully wash the
vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.  Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.  After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.  Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found, dry the carpet etc. Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing, have
it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.

Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.  Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.  Be sure all four tire
s and wheels are the
same size
and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the tires or wheels, replace all four.  All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-20.  Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water. Frequent driving through water can adversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle. After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are wet and not functioning prop- erly, dry them out by
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTION Always use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size,
type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in
possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious failures.

N00550700124
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal when
the brake pads have
worn down enough to need service.If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice.

When the vehicle is st
opped at traffic lights
etc., the vehicle can be
held stationary with
the brake auto hold system even if you release your foot from the brake pedal. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, thebrakes are released.
If the brake auto hold switch is pressed while all of the following c
onditions are met, the
system will change to the standby state and the indicator light (A) on the switch comeson.  The operation mode in ON.  The driver’s seat belt is fastened.  The driver’s door is closed.
WA R N I N GNever coast downhill
with the engine OFF.
Keep the engine running whenever yourvehicle is in motion. If you turn off theengine while driving, the power brake booster will stop wo
rking and your brakes
will not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stop
s working properly,
take your vehicle to
an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Brake auto hold
(if so equipped)
 Do not overly rely on the brake auto hold system. On steep slope, depress the brakepedal firmly because the system may not hold the vehicle stationary. Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the brake auto hold system. When leaving the vehi
cle, apply the park-
ing brake and move th
e selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position. Do not use brake auto hold system when driving on slippery roads. The system may not hold the vehicle stationary and couldresult in an accident. NOTE
 While operating the brake auto hold system, you may hear an operation noise to increase braking force when the system detected the movement of the vehicl
e. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction.

your vehicle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The distance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACC will automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, a
nd if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automatically accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approa
ching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn- ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained. Conventional cruise cont
rol mode without the
distance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.

While the ACC is turned on, indicators for the ACC are shown in the multi information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand th
e limitations of this
system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or an automatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited brak
ing and is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv- ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically apply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System also turns ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle isequipped with the Ultr
asonic misacceleration
Mitigation System.)
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result
in an accident.
The FCM is designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is
approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestri
an too closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid
a collision, such as
braking and
steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is
activated or not.
Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in seriou
s injury or death.
