CAUTIONlIf the lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, avoid driving at high speeds and have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these
conditions.NOTEl The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
Charge warning lamp
E00502702304
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine
has started.
CAUTIONl If it illuminates while the engine is running,
there is a problem in the charging system.
Immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it
checked.Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502801816
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, and the lamp goes off after
the engine has started. If it il-
luminates while the engine is running, the oil
pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the en- gine is running, turn the engine off and have
it inspected.
CAUTIONl If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
level is not low, have it inspected.
l This warning lamp does not indicate the
amount of oil in the crankcase. This must be determined by checking the oil level on the
dipstick, while the engine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with low engine oil
level or with this warning lamp illuminated,
engine seizure may occur.NOTEl The oil pressure warning lamp should not be
treated as an indication of the engine’s oil
level. The oil level must be checked using
the dipstick.Door ajar warning lamp
E00503302020
This lamp illuminates when
a door is either open or not
completely closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 km/h
(5 mph) with a door open or
incompletely closed, a buzzer sounds 4 times as a warning.
CAUTIONl Before moving your vehicle, check that the
warning lamp is OFF.Washer fluid level warning
lamp*
E00569300042

4-wheel drive operation*E00606602487
By selecting 4-wheel drive, both axles of the
vehicle are rigidly connected with each other. This improves the traction characteristics. When turning sharp corners or moving for-
ward and backward repeatedly, however, the drive line is stressed, which is felt as a brak-
ing effect. A 4-wheel drive vehicle can accel-
erate more quickly and smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance is not shorter than that of a rear-wheel drive ve-hicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads
(snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is important to op- erate the vehicle correctly.NOTEl The driving posture should be more upright
and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the
seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wear the seatbelt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Vehicle care” sec-
tion and “Inspection and maintenance fol-
lowing rough road operation” on page 6-51.Driving on dry paved road and
highway
Select “2H” position (Easy Select 4WD),
“2H” or “4H” position (Super Select 4WD II) to drive on the dry paved road. Especially on
dry highway, never select the “4H” or “4L”
position (Easy Select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (Super Select 4WD II).
CAUTIONl Selecting “4H” or “4L” position (Easy Se-
lect 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (Su-
per Select 4WD II) to drive on dry paved
road will increase the fuel consumption with possible noise generation and early tyrewear.
It may also increase the differential oil tem- perature, resulting in possible 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.Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4H” position
(Easy Select 4WD), “4H” or “4HLc” position in accordance with the road conditions (Su-
per Select 4WD II) and then gradually de-
press the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal asconstant as possible, and drive at low speed.
NOTEl The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting).CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could
cause skidding and spinouts.
Driving on sandy or muddy
roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4H” or “4L”
position (Easy Select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (Super Select 4WD II) and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal
for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.

lRemove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core and A/T oil
cooler.
l After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and take the necessary
measures. • Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpetetc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, have
the headlamp drained off.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606802102
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the 4 wheels, the performance of the vehiclewhen operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af-
fected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-15.
l Be sure to the appropriate tyre inflation
pressure according to no cargo or cargo.
Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-12.
l Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of
the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec-
ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-13.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.
CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using the tyres which dif-
fer in size, type, brands or the degree of wear or the inappropriate tyre inflation pres-
sure, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and may be impossible to shift the transfer, resulting in possible 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.
Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to
have it done by your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.

How to use the rear-view cam-era
When you place the gearshift lever or the se- lector lever in the “R” position with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position or the opera- tion mode in ON, the view behind the vehiclewill automatically appear on the screen of theMITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS), the Smartphone Link Display Au- dio or the DISPLAY AUDIO. When you
move the gearshift lever or the selector lever to any other position, the screen will return toits original indication.
CAUTIONl The rear-view camera has a special lens that
can make objects shown on the screen ap- pear to be closer or further away than they
actually are.NOTEl Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime).NOTE•When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into
the lens.
• If a fluorescent light shines directly into
the lens, the screen indication may be
flicker.
There is no abnormality.
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
l If the atmospheric temperature is extremely
hot or extremely cold, the rear-view camera
images may not be clear.
There is no abnormality.
l If a radio set is installed near the camera, the
rear-view camera images may cause electri- cal system interference and the system may
stop functioning properly.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta-
minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil, wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-tion.
• Do not subject the camera to a physical
shook such as striking it strongly or throwing a thing at it.
• Do not adhere organic substances, waxes,
oil remover, and glass cleaner to the cam-
era.
If adhered to them, immediately wipe off.NOTE• Do not splash the camera with boiling wa-
ter.
• Never spray or splash water on the cam-
era or around it.
• Do not disconnect, disassemble or modify
the camera.
• Do not scratch the camera, as this may
cause damage to the rear-view camera im-
ages.

Tightening torqueSteel wheel: 137 to 157 N•m
Aluminium wheel: 118 to 137 N•m
(Achieved by applying a force at the end of the wheel nut wrench supplied
with the vehicle.
Steel wheel: 510 to 580 N
Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)CAUTIONl Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
11. Lower the jack all the way and remove
it.
CAUTIONl If the release valve is loosened too much (2
or more turns) in the anticlockwise direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannot
be used.
l Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.NOTEl Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated pointwill not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (M) into the bracket (N).
Then using the handle, remove the jack.
12. Press the piston down all the way, and
turn the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
13. Check your tyre inflation pressure. The
correct pressures are shown on the door
label. See the illustration.CAUTIONl The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
l After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you to have the tyres checked for balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.

or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the pillar
antenna, it can be retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the roof
antenna, it can be removed.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Waxing
E00901001974
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to the instruction manual of the wax.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used.Polishing
E00901101151
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901301876
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinners and sulphuric
acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and anaqueous solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
water.
