Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a dif-
ference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page
8-21.
●
Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly.
● If the tyre inflation pressure is inappropriate, the transfer
gear may make some noise and shock while changing the
drive mode.
Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a tow truck.
●
The engine runs but the vehicle does not move or abnor-
mal noise is produced.
●
Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals that oil or
some other fluid is leaking.
Only when you cannot receive a towing service from a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or commercial
tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accordance
with the instructions given in “Towing” on page 6-29.
CAUTION
!
●
Always use tyres of the same size, same type, and
same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tyres which differ in size, type, brand or the
degree of wear will cause excessive loading, resulting
in possible damage to the drive system.
CAUTION
!
●
Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H”
position. Never try to tow with the transfer shift
lever in the “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and
with any of the wheels on the ground (Type A or B).
This could result in damage to the vehicle’s driving
system, or the vehicle could become separated from
the tow truck and unexpected accident might result.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to “2H”
position or the transmission is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the vehicle with all the wheels
on a carriage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
