Operating hints
l Have your vehicle serviced prior to tow-
ing a heavy trailer, taking particular care
of the state of engine tune, the condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those specifica- tions at trailer towing.
(Refer to “tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-12.)
Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the trailer.
l Leave plenty of room between the front
of your vehicle and the preceding vehi- cle.
If the trailer begins to sway or becomes difficult to handle, gently slow down or
apply the independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes. Stop the
vehicle and trailer in a safe location.
One cause of swaying is poor trailer bal-
ance and until this has been overcome the swaying will recur. Relocated the load in your trailer and re-assess the problem.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration.
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 the clutch from slipping (ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start-
ing off.
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.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis
will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel con- sumption.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with A/T
It is recommended to use a lower gear in
sports mode on slopes or at low speed, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red
zone.

NOTElFor vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the demister switch is
pressed, the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys- tem will not operate and the engine will notstop automatically even if the vehicle is stopped. This is to ensure that good visibility
is maintained.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning E00708302128
lPark the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature should
only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec- ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant
leak. We recommend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC- 134a and the lubricant DH-PR.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be re- covered and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent poor lubrication
of the compressor internal parts and to main-
tain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition.
Air purifier*
E00708401773
An air filter has been incorporated into thisair conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.

it may create noise from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour comes from it, immediately turn off the au-

If the vehicle breaks down on the road, moveit to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 5-21.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine stops. Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press
down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering system is no
longer operative, the steering wheel feels heavy when turning it.
If the operation mode
cannot be changed to OFF (vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system) E00804900077
If the operation mode cannot be changed to OFF, perform the following procedure. 1. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and then change the operation mode to OFF. (For vehicles with A/T)
2. One of the other causes could be low
battery voltage. If this occurs, the key-
less entry system, keyless operation
function and steering lock will also not operate. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Emergency starting
E00800504132
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction below. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may produce an explosion.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can
damage both vehicles.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.

stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.
WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.WARNINGl Do not attempt to remove the radiator
