Trailer towing
E00610000345
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area.
CAUTION
l Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
When you are going to tow a trailer,
move the transfer shift lever to "4H" posi-
tion.
Selecting the "2H" drive may increase the
differential oil temperature, resulting in
possible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to "Vehicle
weight" on page 9-07.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by
10% of the gross combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure.
