7 Essential 4×4 Driving Tips: Get the Most from Your Mitsubishi at CMH Mitsubishi Midrand

Bought a 4×4 but only use it on tar? You’re missing half the fun. Whether you’re heading to the bushveld, beach, or a gravel farm road in Gauteng, knowing how to drive your Mitsubishi Triton or Pajero Sport properly keeps you safe and saves your vehicle.

Here are 7 essential 4×4 driving tips from the team at CMH Mitsubishi Midrand.

1. Know Your 4×4 System Before You Need It

Mitsubishi’s legendary Super Select II 4WD system gives you four distinct driving modes designed to tackle varying terrain conditions seamlessly:

  • 2H (High Range, 2WD): Best for normal, dry tar road driving to optimize fuel efficiency.
  • 4H (High Range, 4WD): Ideal for wet asphalt, high-speed gravel roads, and light off-road surfaces where extra traction is needed.
  • 4HLc (High Range, Locked Center Differential): Crucial for low-grip surfaces like deep sand or thick mud, splitting power equally between axles.
  • 4LLc (Low Range, Locked Center Differential): Provides maximum torque at slow speeds for steep hills, rock crawling, and heavy recovery work.

Practice changing modes in a safe area. Our CMH Mitsubishi Midrand team will gladly demonstrate every single mode during your next test drive.

2. Drop Your Tyre Pressure for Sand and Mud

Failing to air down is the #1 mistake made by novice off-roaders. Adjusting your footprint drastically improves traction and prevents your vehicle from digging into soft surfaces:

  • For Sand Driving: Drop your pressures to 1.0 – 1.2 bar.
  • For Rocky Trails: Aim for 1.4 – 1.6 bar to allow the tyre to flex over sharp obstacles instead of puncturing.

Lower pressure equals a bigger footprint and significantly better grip. Just remember to reinflate your tyres to standard pressures before driving back onto the tar. Ask us about heavy-duty portable compressors and deflation gauges at CMH Mitsubishi Midrand.

3. Momentum is King, But Control is Queen

Navigating tough terrains requires a delicate balance of smooth inputs rather than raw speed:

  • In Sand and Mud: Keep a steady, continuous momentum. Avoid floor-matting the accelerator or slamming on the brakes suddenly, as this will bury your chassis.
  • On Steep Hills: Engage low range (4LLc), choose a gear, and let the engine braking do the work.
  • Directional Safety: Always ascend and descend straight up or down the fall line. Never turn sideways on a steep slope, as this risks a vehicle rollover.

4. Read the Terrain Ahead

Off-road driving requires looking far ahead of your front bumper to choose the safest line through obstacles:

  • Water Crossings: Walk the water depth first if safe to do so. Enter slowly to create a consistent bow wave, and maintain steady momentum until you exit.
  • Rock Crawling: Place your tyres directly on top of high rocks rather than trying to straddle them, which protects your underbody components.
  • Deep Ruts: Straddle deep ruts where possible to avoid belly-scraping and getting hung up on your diff housings.

5. Use Your Diff Lock and Traction Control Wisely

If you find yourself losing forward progress, do not keep spinning your tyres—this only makes the hole deeper.

Stop immediately, engage your rear differential lock, slip into low range, and attempt to rock the vehicle gently. Mitsubishi’s Active Stability and Traction Control (ASTC) is fantastic for gravel roads, but you should switch it off when driving in deep sand to avoid the system cutting engine power when you need momentum most.

6. Pack Dedicated Recovery Gear

Even the most seasoned off-road drivers get stuck occasionally. Before leaving the pavement, ensure your vehicle is packed with the essentials:

  1. High-lift or exhaust jack and a sturdy shovel
  2. Heavy-duty recovery tracks (sand ladders)
  3. Kinetic tow strap and properly rated bow shackles
  4. Accurate tyre pressure gauge and a 12V air compressor
  5. A reliable communication device (and always tell someone your route)

7. Look After Your 4×4 After the Trip

The adventure isn’t completely finished until your vehicle is properly cleaned and inspected:

  • Underbody Wash: Thoroughly spray down the chassis to remove caked mud, salt, and abrasive sand that can trap moisture and cause rust.
  • Visual Inspection: Inspect the undercarriage for any fluid leaks, torn CV boots, or deep tyre sidewall gouges.
  • Keep Your Warranty Intact: Book a post-trip inspection or service at CMH Mitsubishi Midrand after any heavy off-road excursion to ensure your vehicle remains in peak operating condition.

CMH Mitsubishi Service entrance

Keeping up with your regular car service is one of the best ways to protect your investment, improve your vehicle’s performance, and avoid costly repairs. Whether you drive a Mitsubishi or another vehicle, routine maintenance helps ensure your car remains safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient.

At CMH Mitsubishi Midrand, our factory-trained technicians perform professional vehicle servicing using genuine Mitsubishi parts and advanced diagnostic equipment to keep your vehicle performing at its best.

Regular Car Servicing Keeps You Safe

CMH Mitshubishi Midrand workshop Ramp

Your safety depends on your vehicle being in excellent condition. During every Mitsubishi service, our technicians carefully inspect essential components such as the brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, and battery. These routine inspections help identify worn or damaged parts before they become serious safety risks, giving you peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.

Save Money with Preventative Vehicle Maintenance

Many expensive repairs begin as small issues that could have been prevented during a scheduled service. Something as simple as replacing old engine oil can prevent premature engine wear, while changing worn brake pads before they fail can save you from replacing costly brake discs. Maintaining the correct coolant level also helps prevent engine overheating and severe engine damage. Booking your car service in Midrand at the recommended intervals is a smart investment that helps you avoid unexpected repair bills.

Improve Fuel Efficiency

A properly serviced vehicle runs more efficiently and uses less fuel. Clean air filters, fresh engine oil, correctly inflated tyres, and a well-maintained engine reduce unnecessary strain on your vehicle, helping improve fuel economy and lower your running costs. Our technicians service your Mitsubishi according to manufacturer specifications to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

Increase Your Vehicle’s Resale Value

A complete service history is one of the first things potential buyers look for when purchasing a used vehicle. Regular servicing at CMH Mitsubishi Midrand helps extend your vehicle’s lifespan, protects major engine components from unnecessary wear, maintains peak performance, and increases its resale or trade-in value. Using genuine Mitsubishi parts also helps preserve your vehicle’s reliability and long-term value.

Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns

Many roadside breakdowns are caused by problems with the battery, cooling system, belts, tyres, or essential fluids—all of which are inspected during routine servicing. Preventative maintenance allows our technicians to detect and resolve potential issues before they become inconvenient, costly, or leave you stranded.

What’s Included in a Mitsubishi Service?

The Importance of Regular Oil Changes for Your Mitsubishi

By

genuine-mitsubishi-lubricants
(Genuine Mitsubishi lubricants)

Regular oil changes are the cornerstone of maintaining your Mitsubishi vehicle and ensuring its longevity. Just like our bodies require constant nourishment to function optimally, your Mitsubishi’s engine relies on fresh oil to keep its moving parts running smoothly and efficiently.

At CMH Mitsubishi Midrand, we understand the importance of oil changes and are committed to providing comprehensive maintenance services to keep your Mitsubishi in top condition.

Why Oil Changes Are Important

  • Lubrication: Engine oil lubricates the moving engine parts, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear.
  • Heat Regulation: Oil helps regulate the engine’s temperature by depleting the heat generated during operation.
  • Improved Fuel Efficiency: Fresh and clean oil reduces friction within the engine, which can contribute to improved fuel efficiency.
  • Engine Cleanliness: Oil helps keep the engine clean by preventing the buildup of dirt and deposits.
  • Extended Engine Life: Proper lubrication and maintenance contribute to the overall longevity of the engine and help prevent premature engine wear.
  • Optimal Performance: A well-lubricated engine performs well, reducing the risk of breakdowns and improving the vehicle’s overall performance.
    • Manufacturer’s Warranty: Adhering to the recommended oil change intervals outlined in the manual is often a requirement to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
genuine-mitsubishi-oil-filter
(Genuine Mitsubishi oil filter)

How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?

The frequency of oil changes depends on several factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, your driving habits, and the type of oil you use. However, a good rule of thumb is to get an oil change every 15,000 kilometres or as specified in your service manual.

What Happens During an Oil Change?

During an oil change, technicians drain the old oil from the engine and replace it with new oil. They also replace the oil filter to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated in the old oil.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Oil Change

  • Use the recommended type of oil: Consult your owner’s manual to determine oil recommendations for your vehicle.
  • Get your oil changed at a reputable shop: Choose a shop that uses high-quality oil, filters, and experienced mechanics.
  • Keep your oil change records: Keep track of the date and mileage of each oil change so you can stay on schedule.

A Look at Standard Vehicle Safety Features to Keep You Safe

Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 LS

By

The 2022 Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 LS offers loads of value for money and feels solid on the road. This latest exterior design tweaks and spec upgrades make it a compelling choice in a bustling SUV segment. You can only have it with a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine, a tried-and-tested power plant that’s powerful and frugal if you keep the revs under 3000rpm. Quite a few customers took this new entry-level ES version with a five-speed manual gearbox for a test drive and were highly impressed at how Mitsubishi has refined the model. This latest exterior styling of the ASX is stunning. It boasts the familiar bold grille and headlamp design language that you’ll see in the Triton and Pajero Sport.

We at CMH Mitsubishi Midrand can confidently say it is practically built for the family. At 4295 mm in length, 1770 mm wide, 1625 mm high and with a wheelbase of 2670 mm, the Mitsubishi ASX offers ample space on the inside without being cumbersome to drive. It also comes with a good ground clearance of 195 mm, giving you the ability to take on gravel roads without fear of bashing its belly on the ground. It is standard that the healthy ride height also makes it a pleasure driving around town, as you can glide over speed bumps and through minor imperfections in the road with more confidence than you can in a sedan. Customers that have come to Demo the ASX at our CMH Mitsubishi Midrand Dealership – have immediately liked the trunk space on offer at 406 litres, which you can also expand to 1206 litres if you fold the rear seatbacks flat. It’s an ideal cargo volume for sports equipment, kids’ school bags and gear, drones, camera equipment, and shopping. If you have a couple of kids, you will find its practical character appealing. It has this honest, no-frills feel to it. Also, easy to load and unload the child seat, as the vehicle comes standard to ISOFIX mounting points. It has more than enough features to ensure you feel comfortable and confident from the driver’s seat.

The ASX 2.0 LS has things you need as it comes with standard-fit LED headlamps that work beautifully to illuminate the road at night. The LED daytime running lights also give it a nice premium look despite its budget-oriented price point. In fact, LED rear taillights also come standard on the ES version of the ASX – something you pay extra for in some premium cars. Also, you can also upgrade the ES model’s head unit to one that accommodates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The speaker package is also respectable because you won’t need to upgrade on an aftermarket level if you enjoy thumping music in your car. This 2.0LS also boast other extras such as electric windows and mirrors, three airbags, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, hill start assist, active stability and traction control systems, and cruise control, keyless entry, and engine start in the ES. Manual Aircon works well, and there’s a USB port for charging devices. The Mitsubishi ASX range comes with only one engine choice – a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol four-cylinder that produces 110kW of power at 6000rm and 197 Nm of torque at 4200rpm. The ES Models offer enough pick-up from low revs to keep up with traffic and you can quickly shift through the gears from a standstill, keeping the revs under 3000rpm for maximum fuel efficiency. It also lets you achieve 8 litres per 100km in a combined cycle after 200 kilometres of assessment. You get to feel the petrol motor breathing harmoniously to deliver performance and enjoy driving the ASX in a sporty manner. If you want to spend less than R400 000 on something with robust build quality and technology that will work well past its warranty expiration, this is a car for you – It certainly has what you need for a reasonable price of R371 995, and it comes with a three-year or 100 000km mechanical warranty and a three-year or 60 000km Service Plan.

By

The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport opens a world of new possibilities – take this ultimate 4×4 vehicle out on an adventure and enjoy a performance that will make your driving through the most challenging conditions a pure joy. Rated as 2021 Best Buy & Large SUV/Cross Over. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport allows engagement and conquering any Terrain with the all-purpose package and super select 4WD II System providing ultimate control, outstanding capabilities, and unrivalled performance through uncharted locations.

The Pajero has very unassuming styling almost to the point of being bland as such it blends in seamlessly with its 7-seater brethren. There are a few standouts such as the chrome grille, LED lighting front, rear, and stylish 18” wheels that give it 218 mm of ground clearance but overall, there is nothing very special on the outside. This is most likely why consumers tend to head towards the more well-known brands. Although it has the dimensions of a large seven-seater SUV, it behaves more like a sport sedan. The steering is on point, easy in tight parking lots but firming up when you hit the highway thus ensuring a direct feel. The power delivery is the most impressive, it’s linear with the gear ratios, this ensures the engine never sounds like it’s over-revving, even when you are towing 2.7 ton’s unbraked or 750kg braked, 2.4 litres in-line four, turbo diesel engine, pumping out 133kW and 430Nm. That power is sent through an 8-speed auto transmission and the Super Select II AWD system. As far as technology is concerned there is a 7” touchscreen infotainment featuring Apple Car Play and Android Auto controlled by a multi-function steering wheel that is height and reach adjustable as well as the standard Bluetooth and voice control for telephony.

Interior space is cavernous with legroom and space for five adults as well as their entire luggage with the third row down. Put the third row up and your luggage space decreases to 131l and it must be said that the third-row seating is only usable by children or persons of smaller stature. You get seven airbags, dual front, side, head, and knee, as well as a reverse camera. There is also park distance control and ISOfix where it counts. The Pajero Sport scored five stars in the ANCAP testing with high scores for adult and child crash protection. The Pajero returned consumption figures that were very close to the claimed 8.1l /100km, with combined driving, we got 8.9l /100km.

A 4×2 can cost you around R624 900 whereas a 4×4 will cost you R704 995, with that you get a 3-year /100 000km warranty, and a 5-year / 90 000km service plan.
