Active stability control func-tion
E00613900097
The Active Stability Control function is de-
signed to help maintain the vehicle’s control
in slippery conditions, or during rapid steer- ing manoeuvres. It works by controlling theengine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl The Active Stability Control function does
not operate when the transfer shift lever is inthe “4LLc” position.
When the Active Stability Control function
is operating with the transfer shift lever in the “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position, moving
the shift lever to the “4LLc” position makes
the Active Stability Control function deacti- vate automatically.
l On vehicles with rear differential lock, the
Active Stability Control function does not operate when the rear differential lock is ac-
tivated.Active stability control function

The indication lamps should illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition and should go off after a few seconds.
If the indication lamps stay on or do not illu-
minate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected.

Stability Control function is operating.
indication lamp illuminates when the Ac-
tive Stability Control function is deactivated by either of the following operations:
l The ASC OFF switch is pressed to deac-
tivate the system.
l The transfer shift lever is placed in the
“4LLc” position.CAUTIONl When indication lamp blinks, the Active
Stability Control function is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are spinning exces- sively. If this happens, drive slower with lessaccelerator input.
l If a fault occurs in the device, the ABS
warning lamp or
and indication lamps
illuminate as warning. Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again and check whether the ABS
warning lamp or
and indication lamps
go out.
If the ABS warning lamp or
and indi-
cation lamps remains lit even after the en- gine has been started, we recommend you tohave your vehicle checked.

Roof carrier precautionCAUTIONlMake sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For specific figures, please refer to “Maxi-
mum roof load” on page 11-06 .
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve- hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma-
noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that
the load remains secure.NOTEl To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Before using an automatic car wash, remove
the roof carrier.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) when installing a roof carrier.Trailer towing
E00610001850
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your
area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized 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.
When you are going to tow a trailer, move
the transfer shift lever to “4H” position.
Selecting the “2H” drive may increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in pos-sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.
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 11-06 .)
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.

Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.

1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other
damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep
cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous
because of the greater chance of skidding or
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the
minimum requirement for use. When these
wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-
placed with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is nec- essary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands or
degree of wear, will increase the differential
oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, possi- bly leading to oil leakage, component seiz-ure, or other serious faults.
