4-wheel drive operation
E00606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv- ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have
limits to the system and ability to main- tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
l Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident or
rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.

CAUTIONlThe Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operation may be cancelled when the system judges the handle operation as evasive actions or when the
obstacle moves out of the detectable area of the sensor.
l The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System may be triggered in the following situations.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are extorted by the vehicle in front or an oncoming vehicle.
• When there are objects, steps or projections on the road surface.
• When the parking gate or railway barrier is raised imperfectly.
• When running the road, the gradient changes suddenly.
• When passing through the mass of the steam, fog or smoke.
• When driving in close to the vehicle ahead, and when stopping in close to the forward/ backward vehicle or a wall.
• When there is an obstacle in a curb or an intersection.
• When your vehicle joins the main line from parallel parking.
• When there is a ultrasonic near your vehicle by horn of other vehicle, engine sound of a motorcycle, air brake noise of a large vehicle, a vehicle detector
and sonar of a vehicle etc.
• When an electrical equipment on the market (radio antenna etc.) is installed near the sensor.
• When driving on a gravel road.
• When the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds.
l Turn off the system by pressing the Forward collision mitigation system (FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System ON/OFF switch before-
hand when the vehicle is placed in any of the following situations as the system can operate unexpectedly.
• When getting out from a road groove or a mud.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• When an elevator for vehicle or a mechanical parking is used.
• When your vehicle’s wheels are driven by the motor on a lift.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehicle tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.
• When driving on a circuit.
• When your vehicle is on a chassis dynamometer or free rollers.
• When the tyre pressure is not correct.
• When snow traction device (tyre chains) are attached.

Corner and back sensor loca-tions
There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor-ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the centre of the rear bumper.
Reversing sensor system detec-
tion areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towing bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the system to exclude the
area in which the towing bar is mounted from the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 125 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 125 cm
(B) from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C) are within approximately 20 cm (D)
from the bumper.
NOTEl The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 7-97.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand.
• The stickers or accessories have been at-
tached to the sensors or surroundings.
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• When the temperature difference is too
large.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour- ing rain, splashing water, snow tractiondevice (tyre chains), etc.).

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.
