CAUTION If the lid of the vanity mirror with light is kept open for prolonged periods of time, thevehicle’s battery will be discharged.
Ty p e 2 Ticket holder
CAUTION Do not leave plastic cards in the ticket holder. Because the inside of the vehicle will become hot if the vehicle is parked in strong sunlight, the cards could deform or crack.
12 V power outlets
CAUTION Be sure to use a “plug-in” type accessory operating at 12 V and at 120 W or less. When using more than one socket at the same time, make sure the total power con-sumption of the electrical accessories does not exceed 120 W at 12 V. Also be aware that using electronic equip- ment with the engine off may run the battery down. When the power outlet is
not in use, be sure
to close the power outlet cover or replace thecap. This will prevent the power outlet from becoming clogged and short circuiting.NOTE
 Two 12V power outlets can be used simulta- neously.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13
6
A safety chain must always 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 ground in case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, consultyour authorized Mitsubishi 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 traileroperation are automatic transaxle fluid, engine oil, rear axle oil, belt, cooling system and brake system. Each of these is covered inthis manual.For details, please refer to the “Vehicle care and maintenance” section. Check periodically to see that all hitch nutsand bolts are tight. Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total weight of 1,250 lb (567 kg) or more be equipped with its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric brakes, be sure they are electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat- ter how successful it may seem, any attemptto attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic system will lower braking effec- tiveness and create a potential hazard.
Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state, and local regulations.Check with your local 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 the vehicle and the trailer. Improper equipment orinstallation can cause damage to your vehi- cle’s electrical system and affect your vehicle warranty. Many states and Canadian provinces require special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required, you should install spe- cial mirrors if you cannot clearly see behind you, or if the trailer creates a blind spot. Ask your trailer sales or rental agency if any other items are recommended or required for your towing situation.
NOTE
 Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used when
ever you are towing, to
improve towing stability. For further information, please contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTION Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the coupling unit or hitch ball experiences a problem, the trailer may separate from your vehicle.

Trailer towing 6-14 Driving safety
6
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’llwant to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel
of handling and braking
with the added weight of the trailer. Always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicle is without a trailer. Before you start, check the trailer hitch, safety chains, tires and mirror adjustment. Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbers on the tire and loading information placard at the sill of the driver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15. 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.
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much 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 thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects.
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 cancause unconsciousness or death. Refer to “Exhaust system” on page 9-22. To maximize your safety when towing atrailer:• Have your exhaust system inspected forleaks, and make necessary repairs before starting 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 and with the blower onany speed. This will bring fresh, outside air into your vehicle. Do not use recircu- lation because it only recirculates the airinside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selec- tion switch” on page 7-9.

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.

Cleaning the outside of your vehicle Vehicle care and maintenance 9-37

Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from air, rain, snow, or road sur-faces can damage the paint and body of your vehicle if left on. Frequent washing and waxing is the best wayto protect your vehicle from this damage. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it withwater to remove dust. Next, using plenty ofclean water and a car washing mitt or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a cham- ois or soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of thedoors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.
Salt and other chemicals
used on winter roads
in some geographical areas can have a detri- mental effect on the vehicle underbody. You should flush the underbody with a high pres-sure hose every time you wash the outside of your vehicle. Take special care to remove mud or otherdebris which could trap and hold salt and moisture. After washing your vehicle, wipe off allwaterdrops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Wa s h i n g
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-tect your hands. If your vehicle is equipped with the rain sen- sor, place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensorbefore washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of water spray on the windshield and may get dam-aged as a result.
 Never spray or splash water on the electrical parts in the engine compartment. This may damage them. Be careful also when washing the underbody to ensure that water does not enter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washes that use rotating brushes. These brushes may scratch the paintsurface and make it dull. Scratches are more noticeable on darker col- ored vehicles. Some hot water washing equipment uses high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.
Because hot water can damage plastic parts and seep inside your vehicle, make sure you do the following when using such equip-ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28 inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to the glass surface.
 Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from eitherthis manual or the car wash operator, to avoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside rearview mirrors.• Close the door windows.• Close the front sunroof (if so equipped)• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem- bly.CAUTION
• As your vehicle is equipped with the roof spoiler and the rear spoiler, check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with roof rails,check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with the rainsensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen- sor.
