To return the system to the operating state, push the “SONAR” switch again. When the
system returns to the operating state, the buz- zer sounds once and the “SONAR OFF” indi-
cation lamp turns off.
NOTEl The “SONAR OFF” indication lamp flashes
once when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position.
The warning buzzer sounds when the system
detects an obstacle during operation.
NOTEl After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-

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.

NOTEl The values under item 13 are applicable to
unladen vehicles. These values can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional equipment and suspension conditions.
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
