Mitsubishi MOTORS OUTLANDER, Owner'S Manual

Page: 333 / 602

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 increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.

Operating hints
l
To prevent the clutch from slipping (Ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start-
ing off.
l
Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph)
*2
for trailer
operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the
local regulations in case driving speed
with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l
To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
l
To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower shift point before de-
scending a slope.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should
overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-
ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant
level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
*2
: For cargo vehicles, (50 mph) should be
applied instead of (62 mph).
