its.Because the wipers will start operating againafter the wiper motor cools down, check thatthe wipers operate

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, alwayscheck for the following:Before starting the vehicle, make certainthat you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors and theliftgate are locked.
Move the driver’s seat as far backward aspossible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator, and controls. Checkthe instrument panel indicators and multi-information display
for any possible prob-
lem.Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as fa
r back as possible.
Make sure that infants and small childrenare properly restrained in accordance withall laws and
regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode,and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-12Check all the tires for heavy tread wear oruneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressure.
Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out.As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tirereplacement should, onl
y, be performed by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.Have someone watch wh
ile you turn all the
exterior lights on and off. Also check the turnsignal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel.Check the ground under the vehicle afterparking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Trailer towing6-14 Driving safety

Trailer lights and equipment must complywith federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your loca
l recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, anduse only equipment designed for your vehi-cle.Since lighting and wiring
vary by trailer type
and brand, you should have a qualified tech-nician install a suitable connector between thevehicle and the trailer.
Improper equipment or
installation can cause da
mage to your vehi-
cle’s electrical system
and affect your vehicle
warranty.Many states and Canadi
an provinces require
special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required,
you should install spe-
cial mirrors if you ca
nnot clearly see behind
you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency if any
other items are recomm
ended or required for
your towing situation.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount ofexperience.Before setting out for the open road, you’llwant to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling and brakingwith the added weight of the trailer. Alwayskeep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicl
e is without a trailer.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch,safety chains, tires
and mirror adjustment.
Be sure your vehicle’s ti
res are inflated to the
cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbe
rs on the tire and
loading information placard at the sill of thedriver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflati
on pressures” on page
9-19.Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicleahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid
situations that require
heavy braking and sud-
den turns.

Operating hints
WA R N I N GIf you have a rear window open and youtow a trailer with
your vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It cancause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24.To maximize your safe
ty when towing a
trailer:Have your exhaust system inspected forleaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip.Keep the rear windows closed.If exhaust does come into your vehiclethrough a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating orcooling system on an
d with the blower on
any speed. This will
bring fresh, outside
air into your vehicle. Do not use recircula-tion because it only recirculates the airinside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selectionswitch” on page 7-9.
