This light comes on when the engine oil pres-sure is below normal. If the light stays onwhile driving, stop the engine as soon as pos-sible. Do not run the engine until the cause ofthe low oil pressure is corrected.
N00575701021
This light comes on in red if the coolant tem-perature becomes excessively high.
N00520901339
This light comes on when any door or the lift-gate is open or not completely closed.When the vehicle is moving at more than 5mph (8 km/h) and any door or the liftgate isopen or ajar, a tone will sound 4 times toinform the driver that any door or the liftgateis not properly shut.
CAUTIONIf the warning light stays on while the engineis running, park your ve

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15

You’ll need more passing distance up aheadwhen you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to gomuch farther beyond the passed vehiclebefore you can return to your lane.Hold the bottom of the steering wheel withone hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left,just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to theright. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.When you’re turning with a trailer, makewider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signalwell in advance.Towing a trailer puts additional burden on theengine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating:When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at alower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately aftertowing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground)with the automatic transaxle in the “P”turning the engine off.
If the engine coolant temperature indica-tor flashes on the information screen inthe multi-information display or theengine power drops suddenly, refer to“Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
If the warning display or warningdisplay illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-70, 5-78.
Reduce speed and downshift before you startdown a long or steep downgrade. If you don’tdownshift, over using the brakes can causereduced brake efficiency.You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. Youmay want to shift the selector lever to the 3rdor a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions.Always place chocks or blocks under both thevehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set andthat the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so onlyafter performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTIONMaking sharp turns while towing a trailercould cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow-ing a trailer.

The following maintenance steps are recom-mended:Check tire pressures regularly.Have regular maintenance done on thewheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.Rotate your tires regul
arly as described in
the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-20.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi-nal equipment tires on
your vehicle to help
you know when your tires should be replaced.
Many states have la
ws requiring that you
replace your tires at this point.These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when thetire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6mm).When the bands appear next to one another intwo or more places
, replace your tires.
N00939901528
To even out the wear on your tires and makethem last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that y
ou rotate your tires at
the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation mayvary according to your vehicle condition,road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you noticeunusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos-sible.When rotating tires,
check for uneven wear,
damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormalwear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres-
On all-wheel drive vehi
cles, always use tires
of the same size, same
type, and same brand,
and which have no wear differences. Usingtires that differ in si
ze, type, brand or the
degree of wear, will in
crease the differential
oil temperature, resul
ting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subjected to ex
cessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component sei-zure, or other serious problems.Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheelsshould be used, beca
use your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem.Use of another type of
wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as
it will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
On vehicles with Elec
tric parking brake, 16
inches steel wheel cannot be used on yourvehicle because it interfe
res with brake parts.
Additionally, 16 inches aluminum wheelmay not be used on your vehicle dependingon its type, even if a Mitsubishi Motors Gen-uine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer before using
wheels that you have.

with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildewmay grow.The genuine leather su
rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiberbrush.Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,alcohol, gasoline, or acid
or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine
leather surface and
should not be used.Genuine leather can
mildew if not kept
clean. Clean up any o
