After operating the vehicle in rough road con-ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:Check that the vehicle has not been dam-aged by rocks, gravel, etc.Carefully wash the
vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.After driving through water, check theengine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudybecause of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.Check the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.Inspect the headlights. If water is in theheadlight housing, have
it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.

Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.Install only the specified tires on allwheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.Be sure all four tire
s and wheels are the
same size
and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four.All tires should be rotated before the weardifference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot beexpected if there is a difference in wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-20.Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deepenough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water.Frequent driving through water canadversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle.After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. Ifthe brakes are wet and not functioning prop-erly, dry them out by
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTIONAlways use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Usingtires of different size,
type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-perature and result in
possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.

When the vehicle is st
opped at traffic lights
etc., the vehicle can be
held stationary with
the brake auto hold system even if yourelease your foot from the brake pedal.When the accelerator pedal is depressed, thebrakes are released.
If the brake auto hold switch is pressed whileall of the following c
onditions are met, the
system will change to the standby state andthe indicator light (A) on the switch comeson.The operation mode in ON.The driver’s seat belt is fastened.The driver’s door is closed.

cle, apply the park-
ing brake and move th
e selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position.Do not use brake auto hold system whendriving on slippery roads. The system maynot hold the vehicle stationary and couldresult in an accident. NOTE

The anti-lock braking system and brake forcedistribution function ma
y not work, so hard
braking could make the vehicle unstable.Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Mo

facility of your choice.

After driving on snow or icy roads, removeany snow and ice which may have be leftaround the wheels. On vehicles that have ananti-lock braking syst
em, be careful not to
damage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.
N00568401084
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effortneeded to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist islost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-cle, but you will notice it takes much moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

WA R N I N GDo not stop the engine while the vehicle ismoving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting
in an accident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlights on, theheadlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

N00518901374
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” onpage 5-106, you can re
sume the previously
set speed by push up the RES+ switch (C)while driving at a speed of about 25 mph (40km/h) or higher.The “SET” indicator appears on the informa-tion display in the meter
cluster. (For vehicles
equipped with the color liquid crystal displaymeter)Under either of the following conditions,however, using the sw
itch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In thesesituations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFFswitch is pressed.The operation mode is put in OFF.Indicator goes off.
N00576800048
ACC maintains a set speed with no need foryou to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sen-sor (A), the system also measures the relativespeed and distance between your vehicle anda vehicle in front, and maintains a set follow-ing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically deceleratingyour vehicle if it becomes too close to thevehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). Thedistance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front
decelerates, the ACC
will automatically apply limited braking tomaintain the distance, and if the front vehiclethen accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. Ifyour vehicle is approaching too close to thefront vehicle, a buzzer
will sound and a warn-
ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, theset speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise control mode without thedistance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

WA R N I N GBefore using the ACC, read this entire sec-tion to understand the limitations of thissystem. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident.Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC isnot a collision avoidance system or anautomatic driving system. It is designed touse only limited braking and is never asubstitute for your safe and careful driv-ing. Always be read
y to apply the brakes
manually.
