Mitsubishi Outlander: If your vehicle needs to be towed

In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a tow truck.

► Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals that oil or some other fluid is
leaking.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow the vehicle. Please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance.

The regulations concerning towing may differ from country to country. It is recommended that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.
