as sandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces. On vehicles with A/T, do not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h in “4L” (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc”
(Super Select 4WD II) range.

low-speed driving on steep slopes, as well assandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(43 mph) in “4L” range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways. Do-
ing so may result in excessive tyre wear, in-
creased fuel consumption, and possible noise
generation. It may also increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, which may damage the drive system. Further, the drive train will besubjected to excessive loading, resulting in
oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous problems. On dry paved roads and high- ways, drive the vehicle in “2H” only.Drive mode-selector operation

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-

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.
Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles
6-52OKTE18E1Starting and driving6
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.
How to change a tyre

To store the spare wheel
E00803701512
1. Install the hanger disc (A) in the wheel
disc hole.
2. Turn the wheel nut wrench (B) clock-
wise to wind up the chain.
NOTEl Confirm that the hanger disc is securely fit-
ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel isjust lifted off the ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel suffi-
ciently, make sure it is not loose (the tightening torque should be approxi-
mately 40 N•m (achieved by applying a force of 200 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench.)) then withdraw the jack
handle, taking care not to turn it in the
reverse direction.
CAUTIONl The spare wheel should always be securely
in position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre in
the spare wheel mounting position with the wheel outer surface upward, and use the wheel nut wrench to secure it firmly.
l When installing the spare wheel, please ob-
serve the followings. If you do not follow
them, it could result in break the spare wheel
carrier.
• Do not use the power tool.
Use the wheel nut wrench stowed on the vehicle.
• Do not apply a force of 400 N or more at
the end of the wheel nut wrench.
4. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.
