CAUTION
(1) When using the air condition-
ing, the idling speed may slightly
increase as the air condition-
ing compressor is switched
on/off automatically. Especially
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, while the vehicle
is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
(2) On 3500 models, if a problem is
detected in the air conditioning
compressor, the air condition-
ing operation indicator lamp
blinks. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air con-
ditioning operation indicator
lamp does not blink, there is no
problem. If it does blink, have it
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.

(7) Turn on the hazard warning lamps if
required by law. (Follow the local driv-
ing laws and regulations.)
(8) During towing make sure that close
contact is maintained between the driv-
ers of both vehicles, and that the
vehicles travel at low speed. Avoid
abrupt starting or stopping.
WARNING
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accel-
eration and sharp turning ; such
operation could cause damage to the
towing hooks or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured
as a result.
CAUTION
When going down a long slope, the
brakes may overheat, reducing effec-
tiveness. Have your vehicle towed on
a trailer.(9) Towing should only be done by a pro-
fessional tow service if it will involve
towing on winding roads, hills or in
heavy traffic. If you have any doubts,
use a professional tow service.
(10) When the front towing hooks are used,
be very careful so that the rope may
not cause damage to the body.
CAUTION
To prevent entry of exhaust gas from
the towing vehicle, set your air selec-
tion switch to the recirculation posi-
tion.

engine by pulling or pushing the
vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
(2) Always wear protective eye
goggles when working near the
battery.
(3) Keep the battery out of the reach
of children.
NOTE
On a vehicle with an anti-lock brake sys-
tem, if the vehicle is started or put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it might
cause the loss of smooth engine opera-
tion and it might cause the anti-lock brake
warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”on
page 5-45.
What to do if the engine speed
becomes unstable after the bat-
tery is replaced
EN38B-G
If the engine speed becomes unstable after
the battery is replaced, reset the engine
using the following method:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Place the gear shift lever (manual
transmission) in the“N”(Neutral) or the
selector lever (automatic transmission)
in the“P”(PARK) position.
Stop the engine.
3. Restart the engine.
4. Turn off the air conditioning.
5. Allow the engine to warm up until the
needle in the water temperature gauge
stabilizes near the centre of the gauge.
6. Stop and restart the engine.
7. Allow the engine to idle for approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
8. When the engine speed stabilizes, the
resetting procedure is complete.
NOTE
If the engine speed remains unstable after
the resetting procedure has been per-
formed, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

Fuses
EN09AABa
Fuse blockTo prevent damage to the electric system
due to short-circuiting or overloading, each
individual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse housings in the passen-
ger compartment and in the engine com-
partment.
The fuse housing in the passenger com-
partment is located in front of the driver’s
seat at the position shown in the illustra-
tion.
The replacement of fuses located in the
passenger compartment should be per-
formed from below the instrument panel.

During cold weatherThe capacity of the battery is reduced at
low temperatures. This is an inevitable
result of its chemical and physical proper-
ties. This is why a very cold battery, par-
ticularly one that is not fully charged
anyway, will only deliver a fraction of the
starter current which is normally avail-
able.
It is recommended that you have the bat-
tery checked by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer before the start of cold
weather and, if necessary, have it charged.
This not only ensures reliable starting, but
a battery which is kept fully charged also
has a longer life.Disconnection and connectionTo disconnect the battery cable, stop the
engine, first disconnect the negative (-) ter-
minal and then the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first con-
nect the positive (+) terminal and then the
negative (-) terminal.
WARNING
(1) Keep sparks, cigarettes, and
flames away from the battery
because the battery could
explode.
(2) The battery electrolyte is
extremely caustic. Do not allow
it to come in contact with your
eyes, skin, clothing, or the
painted surfaces of the vehicle.
Spilled electrolyte should be
flushed immediately with ample
amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from
contact with electrolyte requires
immediate medical attention.
(3) Ventilate when charging or using
the battery in an enclosed space.
CAUTION
(1) Never disconnect the battery
with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position; doing so could
damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
(2) Never short-circuit the battery;
doing so could cause it to over-
heat and be damaged.
(3) Always wear protective eye
goggles when working near the
battery.
CAUTION
(4) If the battery is to be quick-
charged, first disconnect the bat-
tery cables.
(5) In order to prevent a short cir-
cuit, be sure to disconnect the
negative (-) terminal first.
(6) Keep it out of reach of chil-
dren.
NOTE
(1) Keep the terminals clean. After the bat-
tery is connected, apply terminal pro-
tection grease. To clean the terminals,
use lukewarm water.
(2) Check to see if the battery is securely
installed and cannot be moved dur-
ing travel. Also check each terminal for
tightness.
(3) When the vehicle is to be left unused
for a long period of time, remove the
battery and store it in a place where the
battery fluid will not freeze. The bat-
tery should be stored only in a fully
charged condition.
