Trailer towingE00610001863
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.
Check that your towing bar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence plate when the trailer or caravan is disconnected. Ifit obscures the licence plate, please remove
the towing bar coupling ball. And if the tow-
ing bar coupling ball is lockable by using a
key or any kind of tools, please remove the coupling ball and use a towing bar coupling
ball which can be removed or repositioned
without the use of a key or any kind of tools instead.
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.NOTEl If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
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 11-10.)
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.
Towing bar mounting specifi-
cations
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

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.
