CAUTION
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak-
ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with
the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-
hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma-
noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that
the load remains secure.
NOTE
l To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l
Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-
ped) and/or the tailgate when installing a
roof carrier.
Trailer towing
E00610001775
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
when having a trailer towing device mounted
that meets all relevant regulations in your
area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country.
You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTION
l Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
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 listed in the specifications.
(Refer to page 11-07.)
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 increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.

cations
