Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in combination with theuse of seat belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from opening doors and falling out of moving vehicles.• Locked doors can help prevent outsidersfrom gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat and suffer seriousinjury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. In addition to the risk of heat stroke, chil- dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident. When closing a door, make sure that the door is fully closed and the door-ajarwarning display goes out on the informa- tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is ajar it could open whiledriving and cause an accident.WA R N I N G

Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement. But its unique 4-wheel drive system allowsyou 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 also permits better trac- tion when driving on slippery, 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 important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.

WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi- cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.

 Carefully wash the vehicle with water. Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, co
ntact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice as soon as possible tohave the brakes checked.  Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog- ging the radiator core. After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of water contamination, it mustbe replaced with new oil.  Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found, dry the carpet etc. Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing, have it drained at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.
N00530801230
Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. Be sure all four tires 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 wear difference between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-17.  Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to thedriving system. Further, the drive train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetra
in, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel dr
ive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment. Even in “AUTO” drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.
