Your vehicle has been designed primarily for
use on pavement.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,
to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar
locations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-
covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and regenerative brake on
steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving
on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving
on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas
where the tyres may get stuck in deep sand or
mud.
Torque distribution function display
The torque distribution between the front and
rear wheels is displayed in section E of the
meter as a bar graph.
If the red line is on the front, the torque of the
front motor will be high, and if it is behind it
the torque of the rear motor will be high.
WARNING
 Always concentrate on your driving first.
Keep your eyes and mind on the road. Dis-
tractions while driving can lead to an acci-
dent.

WARNING
 Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-
its to the system and ability to maintain
control and traction. Reckless driving may
lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,
taking account of the road conditions.
 Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-pavement 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 maintenance and service
has been done, and that you have inspected
your vehicle. Pay special attention to the
condition of the tyres, and check the tyre
pressures.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injury
caused or liability incurred by improper and
negligent operation of a vehicle. All tech-
niques of vehicle operation depend on the
skill and experience of the operator and other
participating parties. Any deviation from the
recommended operating instructions 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
sufficient 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 operation. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.
 After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly
with water. Refer to the “Inspection and
maintenance following rough road opera-
tion” section and “Maintenance” sections.
