NOTElEven if the battery charge mode switch is
pressed, the battery charge mode may not beactivated depending on the remaining drive
battery capacity or the remaining fuel quan- tity and the control.
l It is recommended to use the battery charge
mode switch at least 20 minutes before youclimb, in order to continue a speed of more
than 100 km/h (62 mph), or when a long slope (gradient of more than 4 %) is expec-
ted. (According to a towing weight, it may not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has stopped in the heath a long
time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to full charge of the
drive battery becomes longer depending on the condition of the drive battery, a driving
condition or a environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer.
We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.NOTEl When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge mode
switch that conforms to the relevant munici- pality.
If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity using gasoline, the fuel consumption will suffer.
l If the battery save mode switch or the EV
switch is pressed while the battery charge
mode is activated, the battery charge mode is

E00610001906
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device mounted that
meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
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.
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.
(Refer to page “Vehicle weight” on page
12-05.)
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.

Operating hints
lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
NOTEl In charge mode, if the remaining quantity of
the drive battery can be increased in ad-
vance, it can prevent the vehicle speed from
decreasing on long up hills.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on page 7-28.
