Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However, avoid driving the vehicle through areas wherethe tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designe 
d primarily for use on 
pavement, unlike a conventional off-roadvehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles are less capable than 4-wh 
eel drive vehicles for 
driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads. Utility vehicles have  
higher ground clearance 
and a narrower track, which enables them toperform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear- ance, these vehicles have a higher center ofgravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave- ment. They are not designed to maneuver orcorner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel driv 
e passenger cars any 
more than low-slung sports cars are designed 
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions.Always drive safely  
and steer the vehicle 
carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in a manner that might require sharp turns orabrupt maneuvers. As wi 
th other vehicles of 
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly can result in lo 
ss of control or vehicle 
rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig- nificantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Be 
fore starting the vehi- 
cle, always make cert 
ain that you and all your 
passengers are properly wearing their seat belts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).

Fuel economy is depe 
ndent on many factors. 
Your personal driving habits can have a sig-nificant effect on your fuel consumption. Several recommendations 
 for achieving the 
greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate  
slowly and smoothly. 
 When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off. Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops. 
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode to “4WD ECO” or “4WDAUTO” (Electronically controlled 4WD), or “AWC ECO” or “NORMAL” (S- AW C ) . For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according  
to the recommenda- 
tions in this manual.  Always keep your ve
hicle well main- 
tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.

Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability ca 
n be seriously impaired 
even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you  
have been drinking, 
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non- drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.

a significantly higher 
rollover rate than othe 
r types of vehicles. 
Avoid abrupt maneuvers and excessive speed. Always buckle up.

Mitsubishi Motors recommends using only engine oils with the  
ILSAC certification sym- 
bol on the front of the container. If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certi- fication symbol, use an API classification SN oil with the following label. 
This mark appears on the top of the oil con- tainer and tells you two important thingsabout the oil. Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving. 
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil is recomm 
ended for optimum fuel 
economy and cold weather starting. If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Syn- thetic Engine Oil is  
not available, 5W-20 
grade oils displaying the ILSAC certification can be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20Synthetic Engine Oil s 
hould be used at the 
next oil change to maintain optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting. The oil filter should be  
replaced at the time or 
mileage specified in 
 the “WARRANTY AND 
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality  
replacement filters on 
this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-tions for Mitsubishi Motors Genuine oil fil-
 The engine oil wi

vehicle is subjected to 
 severe conditions (for 
example, repeated operation on rough roads,in mountainous regions, on roads with many uphill and downhill grad 
ients, or over short 
distances). Consequently 
, the oil will require 
earlier replacement in accordance with the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAIN- TENANCE MANUAL”.
