The wild outdoors are waiting. And so is your ride. With aggressive good looks and sturdy ladder-frame construction, Montero Sport is both stylish and safe.
The engine, 4WD transfer case and fuel tank front end are all protected from rocks and other rough terrain by undercarriage skid plates. This way, you don’t have to worry about the drivetrain suspension components or fuel tank being damaged by sharp objects when you head off the highway.
Outfitted in the rear seat, the LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) features two lower anchorages and one upper anchorage to secure child safety seats. Located at the intersection of the vehicle seat cushion and seat back, each lower anchorage includes a rigid ring onto which a hook, a jaw-like buckle or other connector can be snapped. The upper anchorage is a mechanism to secure the child seat tether. In the event of an accident, the LATCH System is designed to hold the child safety seat tightly and reduce forward movement of a child's head. Please consult your 2005 MY Mitsubishi Owner's Manual and child safety seat manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
The 2005 Montero Sport’s available anti-lock braking system (ABS) can skillfully balance each tire’s traction on a slick surface, helping to preserve steering control and vehicle stability during emergency braking. Whether you’re rounding a curve or traveling straight ahead, ABS resists skidding and helps keep the vehicle steady when your foot is hard on the brakes. A driver might panic, but ABS won’t. On 4WD models with standard four-wheel disc brakes, ABS actuation is tailored for off-road use when the vehicle is shifted into four-wheel drive. ABS is standard on the Limited 2WD, and Multi-Mode ABS is standard on the 2005 LS, 2005 XLS and Limited all Montero Sport 2005 4WD models.
As part of the reinforced body structure in the Montero Sport, side-guard door beams offer an additional line of defense in a collision. Working with interior door padding, side-guard door beams are designed to resist intrusion into the cabin. They also act to direct crash energy into the safety cage structure and away from the driver and passengers.
