Your vehicle has been
designed primarily for
use on pavement. But its unique 4 -wheel
drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but al
so permits better trac-
tion when driving on sl
ippery, wet or snow-
covered roads and when moving out of mud. But it is not suitable
for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions. It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hillclimbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes.Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficie
nt traction may not be
available in certain circumstances. Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand ormud.

WA R N I N G Always concentrate on
your driving first.
Keep your eyes and mi

can lead to an acci-
dent.

5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks orblocks (A) at the ti

The compact spare tire is stowed below the luggage compartment floor. It is designed to save space in the luggage compartment. Its lighter weight ma
kes it easier to use if a flat
tire occurs.
WA R N I N G Be sure to apply choc
ks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of
position, leading to
an accident.NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks
or blocks and keep
them in the vehicle for use if needed. If chocks or blocks ar
e not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information
(if so
equipped)Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading information placard attached to the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3. Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-20. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While th
e compact spare tire is
being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function pr
operly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the
compact spare tire.
Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance between the ground and your vehicle.

tow any other vehicle.
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with this style.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Usi
ng a sling lift will dam-
age the bumper and front end. This vehicle must not be towed with the driv- ing wheels on the ground (Type B) as illus- trated. This could result in the driving system dam-age. Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the rear wheels on the ground (Type C) as illus- trated. This could result in the driving system damage or vehicle may
jump at the carriage.
