1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’splacard.2.Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.4.The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam- ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

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 9-26. 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.

10. Install the bottle onto the compressor. 11. Securely attach the bottle hose (F) to the
tire valve (E).
12. Pull out the compressor’s power cord (K),
insert the plug on the cord into the 12 Vpower outlet (L), and then turn the igni- tion switch or the operation mode to the ACC position. (Refer to “12 V power out-let” on page 5-221.) Turn ON the compressor switch (M) and inject all of the tire sealant and inflate thetire to the specified pressure. (Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-20.) If there is a gap between the tire andwheel, push the tread area toward the cen- ter of the wheel to close the gap before running the compressor.
NOTE
 When installing the bottle, align the projec- tion (I) on the bottle with the indentation (J) in the compressor.
CAUTION If the bottle hose is not attached securely, the tire sealant will leak out from the tire valveand the tire may not inflate to the specifiedpressure.
WA R N I N G Do not place your hand or fingers between the tire and wheel while inflating the tire. Your hand or fingers may become caughtbetween the tire and wheel.CAUTION The supplied compressor is designed only for inflation of
your vehicle tires.
The compressor is designed to run on a vehi- cle’s 12 V power supply.
Do not connect it to
any other power source. The compressor is not waterproof. If you use it in rain, make sure wa
ter does not get on it.

13. Affix the speed restriction sticker (N) to
the three-diamond mark on the steeringwheel.
14. Check and adjust the tire pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on thecompressor. If you overinflate the tire, release air by pressing the pressure release switch (O) on the compressor.
15. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the 12 Vpower outlet.
16. When you have inflated the tire to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor and bottle in the vehicle and promptlystart driving the vehicle so that the tire sealant can spread evenly in the tire. Drive with great care. Do not exceed aspeed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Observe local speed limits.
 Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor could make the compressor break down. Donot place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it. Do not disassemble or modify the compres- sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure gauge to shock. It could malfunction.CAUTION Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the specified position on th
e pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent the SRS airbag from deploying properly.CAUTION
CAUTION The surface of the compressor will get hot while the compressor is running. Do not keep the compressor running continuously for more than 10 minutes. After using thecompressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again. If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while operating, it is
overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF positionand let the compressor c
ool down for at least
30 minutes. Do not press the pressure release switch (O) while sealant is being injected, because the sealant may leak from compressor.
NOTE
 If the tire pressure does not rise to the speci- fied level within 10 minutes, the tire may beso severely damaged that the tire sealant can-not be used for emergency repair. Do not drive the vehicle. Plea
se contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
 At this point the puncture hole is not sealed yet. Air will
continue to leak through the
puncture hole until the emergency repair pro-cedure is completed (through step 17 or step 18 of these instructions).

17. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km), park the vehicl
e in a safe place.
Remove the air compressor from the stowed position. Check the tire pressureusing the air pressure gauge on the com- pressor. If the tire pressure has not dropped, the emergency repair procedureis complete. Proceed to step 19. If the tire pressure is insufficient, inflate the tire to the specified pressure again anddrive the vehicle carefully without exceeding a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Before driving, make sure that the com-pressor is stowed.
18. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km) again, check the tire pressure usingthe air pressure gauge on the compressor. If the tire pressure has not dropped, the emergency repair procedure is complete.Before driving, make sure that the com- pressor is stowed. You must still not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).Observe local speed limits.
19. Immediately drive with great care to an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer and
have the tire repa
ir/replacement per-
formed.

Before changing a tire,
first stop your vehicle
in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground. 2. Set the parking brake firmly. 3. Move the selector lever to the “P”(PARK) position and turn the ignition switch (the engine switch) to the “LOCK” or “OFF” position.4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning sign, such as a warning triangle or flashing signal lamp, at an ade-quate distance from the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
CAUTIONIf you sense any abnormality while driving, stop the vehicle and c
ontact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Otherwise the tirepressure may drop before the emergency repair procedure is completed, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive.CAUTION If the tire pressure is lower than the mini- mum permitted pressure (18 psi {130 kPa}), the tire cannot successf
ully be repaired with
the tire sealant. Do not drive the vehicle anyfurther. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
NOTE
 If the tire pressure has dropped below the specified level when you check it at the end of the repair procedure, do not drive the vehicle any further.
Contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Moto
rs dealer.
 In cold conditions (when the ambient tem- perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), the time and driving distance required until comple- tion of the repair can
become longer than in
warmer conditions, and the tire pressure may drop below the specified level even after you have inflated the tire the second time andsubsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap- pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressure once more, drive for approximately 10 min-utes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire pressure again. If the tire pressure has again dropped below the specified level, stop driv-ing the vehicle and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Moto
rs dealer.
NOTE
Please give the empt
y sealant bottle to an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or dis-pose of the sealant bot
tle according to regu-
lations for the disposal
of chemical waste.
 To purchase a new tire
sealant bottle, contact
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

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.

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.
