Tongue loads can be adjusted by proper dis- tribution of the load in the trailer. This can bechecked by separately
weighing the loaded
trailer and then the tongue. The GAWRs are printed on the certification label which is riveted on the door sill on the driver’s side. Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 11-2. Choose a proper hitch and ball, and make sure it is installed at a height that is compati- ble with the trailer.Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformly distributes the trailer tongue load throughout the frame.
A safety chain must al
ways be used between
the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave suf-ficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to pre- vent the tongue from dropping to the groundin case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chai
n procedures, consult
your authorized Mitsub
ishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR-RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN- UAL”. Especially important in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid,engine oil, rear axle
oil, belt, c
ooling system
and brake system. Each
of these is covered in
this manual. For details, please refer to the “Vehicle care and maintenance” section.Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight. Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total we
ight of 1,250 lbs (567
kg) or more (2400 models), 1,400 lbs (635kg) or more (3000 mode
ls) be equipped with
its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric br
akes, be sure they are
electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tapinto your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat- ter how successful it
may seem, any attempt
to attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’shydraulic system will lower braking effec- tiveness and create a potential hazard.

WA R N I N G If you make any holes in the body of your vehicle for installing
a trailer hitch, be
sure to seal the holes later when youremove the hitch. If
you don’t seal them,
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can enter your vehicle. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-25.
NOTE
 Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used whenever you are towing, toimprove towing stability.For further informati
on, please contact your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTION Never tow a trailer wi
thout using a safety
chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the
coupling unit or hitch
ball experiences a probl
em, the trailer may
separate from
your vehicle.

You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to gomuch farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left,just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Towing a trailer puts additional burden on the engine 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 a lower 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” (PARK) position for a few minutes beforeturning the engine off.
 If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-69, 5-77.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hilly conditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set and that 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 only after performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could 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.
Overheating Cause of overheating
Solution
Air conditioning on Turn off Highway speeds Reduce speed Going up hills Select lower gear posi-
tion
Stop-and-go city traf- fic
With the vehicle stopped, shift to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and idle the engine at high idle.

1. Apply the brakes a
nd keep them applied.
2. Have someone plac
e chocks or blocks
under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. When the chocks or blocks are in place, release your brakes slowly until thechocks or blocks absorb the load. 4. Apply the parking brake firmly. 5. Set the selector lever to the “P” (PARK)position and turn off the engine.
When restarting out after parking on a hill: 1. Check that the selector lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position.2. Start the engine. Be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed. 3. Set the selector lever to the “D” (DRIVE)position or “R” (REVERSE) position. 4. Release the parking brake and brake pedal and slowly pull or back away from thechocks or blocks. Stop and apply your brakes. 5. Have someone retrieve the chocks orblocks.

Normally, use the outside
air position to keep
the windshield and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost from the wind-shield. To change the air selection, simply press the air selection switch.  Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF} Outside air is introduced into the passen-ger compartment.  Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON} Air is recirculated
inside the passenger
compartment.
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is controlled automatically. Whenthe air conditioning turns
off, the air selection
automatically goes back to the outside posi- tion.If high cooling performanc
e is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the
recirculat
ion position.
Switch to the outside position every now and then to keep the windows from fogging up.

You can change the following functions tomatch your preference.  Enable automatic air selection control: When the AUTO switch is pressed, the airselection switch will also be automatically controlled.  Disable automatic air selection control: Even when the AUTO switch is pressed,the air selection switch
will not be auto-
matically controlled.  Changing the settings Press the air selection switch for approxi-mately 10 seconds or longer. When the setting has changed, the system will beep and the indi
cator light will flash.
NOTE
When the defogger switch
is pressed, the air
conditioning system au
tomatically operates
and outside air (as opposed to recirculatedair) is selected. This automatic switching control is carried out to prevent misting of the windows even if “D
isable automatic air
conditioning control” or
“Disable
automatic
air selection control” is
set. Refer to “Person-
alizing the air conditi
oning switch (Changing

CAUTION Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTE
 If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioner off orselect the recirc
ulation position.
This prevents the windows from fogging up.
 When the engine coolan
t temperature rises to
a certain level, the air selection is automati-cally switched to the recirculation positionand the indicator light
(A) comes on. At this
time, the system will not switch to the out- side position even if th
