you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers: Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, a
nd use your turn-signal
light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.

Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze. Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubricationpoints. Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine coolant” on page 9-9.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriouslyburned.

Trailer towing 6-14 Driving safety
6
Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your loca
l recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, and use 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 of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. Alwayskeep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive 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
9-20. Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead 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 you tow a trailer with
your vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It can cause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-25. To maximize your safe
ty when towing a
trailer: Have your exhaust system inspected for leaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip. Keep the rear windows closed.If exhaust does come into your vehicle through a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating or cooling 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 air inside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selectionswitch” on page 7-9.
