seconds or more.“SONAR OFF” indication
lamp
E00615901362
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing
sensor system, the “SONAR OFF” indicationlamp will flash and the warning buzzer willsound for approximately 5 seconds. Even af-ter the buzzer has stopped sounding, the indi-
cation lamp will continue flashing until the
system reverts to the normal state. We rec- ommend you to have your vehicle inspection.
Rear-view camera*
E00618402277
The rear-view camera is a system that showsthe view behind the vehicle on a screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS), the DISPLAY AUDIO or the
Smartphone Link Display Audio.
CAUTIONl The rear-view camera is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for ob- stacles behind the vehicle. Its range of view
is limited, so you should not overly depend on it. Please drive just as carefully as you
would if the vehicle did not have the rear-
view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around the
vehicle with your own eyes. Do not depend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view
camera
The range of view of the rear-view camera is
limited to the area shown in the illustrations.
Because the camera is built in the overhang- ing area of the vehicle (spare wheel garnish),it cannot show the bottom of the spare wheel
garnish and the right behind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor).
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm
safety around the vehicle.

NOTElThe reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface.
This may make the distance to a projecting object shown on the screen differ from the actual distance to the projecting object. Do
not use them as a guide for distances to solid objects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order of distance. The points A and B actually are the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the points A and
B.Cargo loads
E00609901224
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl When loading luggage, be careful to the fol-
lowing.
• Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage
compartment whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to
be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the in-
strument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seats.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and your cargo being thrown inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle.
Do not load luggage directly onto the roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.Roof carrier mounting brack-
ets*3-door models5-door models
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A). The brackets (A) are located
under each roof drip moulding (B).
NOTEl We recommend you to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI roof carrier, since the brack-
ets to be used have a special shape. For de-
tails, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
Cargo loads
6-59OVWX17E1Starting and driving6 Check surroundings for safety

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.

Operating hints
l Do not increase the engine speed more
than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph)* for trailer
operation. *: For vehicles with only front seats orvehicles with only front seats and sec-
ond seats (5-door models), 80 km/h
(50 mph) should be applied instead of 100 km/h (62 mph).
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.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before descend-
ing a slope.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with A/T
The 2nd
gear (in sports mode) is recommen-
ded on slopes or at low speed. Use the
1 st
gear (in sports mode) in mountainous
areas in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. How-
ever, be sure that the speed does not exceed
the maximum speed limit for the selected
gear.Trailer towing
