Running-in recommendationsE00600404155
During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline to aid long life as well as future economy and performance.
l Do not race the engine at high speeds.
l Avoid rapid starting, accelerating, braking and prolonged high-speed running.
l Keep to the running-in speed limit shown below.
Please note that the legal speed limits must be adhered to.
l Do not exceed loading limits.
l Refrain from towing a trailer.

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

CAUTIONlDo not bring nearby parts, plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (bat-
tery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immedi-
ately rinse the affected parts with plenty of
water.NOTEl Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is
connected, apply terminal protection grease.
To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
l Check to see if the battery is securely instal-
led and cannot be moved during travel. Also check each terminal for tightness.
l When the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The battery should be stored only in a fully charged condition.Tyres

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.

Wheel condition
E01001800478
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.
