WARNING
!
● Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehicles. Even
4-wheel drive vehicles have limits to the system and
ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless
driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road conditions.
● Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pave-
ment can cause an accident or rollover in which you
and your passengers could be seriously injured or
killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in the
owner's manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive faster than
conditions.
NOTE
● Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before
you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled mainte-
nance and service has been done, and that you have
inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi-
tion of the tyres, and check the tyre pressures.
● MITSUBISHI MOTORS is not responsible to the opera-
tor for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred
by improper and negligent operation of a vehicle. All
techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and
experience of the operator and other participating parties.
Any deviation from the recommended operating instruc-
tions above is at their own risk.
● Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel
drive vehicle differs very little from that of the 2-wheel
drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a
slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a suffi-
cient distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of
you.
● The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the
seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal opera-
tion. Be sure to wear the seat belt.
● After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehi-
cle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the
"Inspection and maintenance following rough road opera-
tion" section and "Maintenance" sections.
CAUTION
!
● Setting the drive mode-selector to "4WD LOCK" to
drive on dry paved road will increase fuel consump-
tion, with possible noise generation.
