Cargo loadsE00609902713
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab- in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.
l Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un-
stable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.NOTEl We recommend you to use a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special shape. For details, we recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
Roof carrier precaution
CAUTIONl Make sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maximum
roof load” on page 12-05.CAUTIONl When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-
hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma- noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that the load remains secure.NOTEl To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) when installing a roof carrier.

NOTElBe sure that adequate clearance is main-

E00610001906
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device mounted that
meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications.
(Refer to page “Vehicle weight” on page
12-05.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-cations

Operating hints
lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
NOTEl In charge mode, if the remaining quantity of
the drive battery can be increased in ad-
vance, it can prevent the vehicle speed from
decreasing on long up hills.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on page 7-28.
