FOR PLEASANT DRIVING
Cigarette lighterEG31A-Aj
The cigarette lighter can be used while the
ignition switch is on either “ON” or “ACC”.
1 - Push all the way in.
The lighter will automatically return to its
original position with a “click” when ready.
Pull it out for use.
After use, insert the lighter all the way to
its original position in the socket.
NOTE
Do not leave the cigarette lighter removed
from its socket, because the socket might
become clogged by foreign material and
be short-circuited.
(4) Do not leave the cigarette lighter
pushed in or insert the cigarette
lighter from another vehicle.
Otherwise, the lighter may over-
heat and cause fire.
(5) It is recommended that only the
lighter be inserted in it’s socket.
Use of “plug-in” type access-
ories may damage the socket
and result in poor retention of
the lighter.
(6) When the cigarette lighter
socket is used as a power
source for an electric appliance,
be sure that the electric appli-
ance operates at 12V and has an
electric capacity of 120W or less.
In addition, long use of the elec-
tric appliance without running
the engine may run down the
battery.CAUTION(1) Do not touch heating element or
lighter housing, hold the knob
only as burns may occur.
(2) Do not allow children to operate
or play with the cigarette lighter
as burns may occur.
(3) Something is wrong with the
cigarette lighter if it does not
pop back out within approxim-
ately 30 seconds of being
pushed in.
Leaving the cigarette lighter
pushed in for an extended pe-
riod could cause fire. If it does
not pop out by itself, pull it out
and have the problem corrected
at an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.

MAINTENANCE
Type 2
The condition of the battery is very impor-
tant for quick starting of the engine and
proper functioning of the vehicle’s elec-
trical system. Check the condition at regu-
lar intervals and care the battery if neces-
sary.
To determine the battery charge, check
the battery test indicator (1) on top of the
battery.
If the test indicator is seen blue which
looked into it from above, the battery is
okay. If white, the battery requires
charging.
The electrolyte level must be between the
upper line and lower line on the outside of
the battery. Replenish with distilled water
as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into
several compartments; remove the cap
from each compartment and fill to the
upper line.
WARNING(1) Keep sparks, cigarettes and
flames away from the battery be-
cause the battery could explode.
(2) The battery electrolyte is ex-
tremely 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 us-
ing the battery in an enclosed
space.
CAUTION(1) Never disconnect the battery
with the ignition switch “ON”;
doing so could damage the vehi-
cle’s electrical components.
(2) Never short-circuit the battery;
doing so could cause it to over-
heat and damage it.
(3) Always wear protective eye
goggles when working near the
battery.
Do not fill beyond the upper line because
spillage during driving could cause dam-
age.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at
low temperatures. This is an inevitable re-
sult of its chemical and physical proper-
ties. This is why a very cold battery, partic-
ularly one that is not fully charged anyway,
will only deliver a fraction of the starter
current which is normally available.
It is recommended that you have the bat-
tery checked by an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI 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 connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the
engine, first disconnect the negative (–)
terminal and then the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first connect
the positive (+) terminal and then the neg-
ative (–) terminal.
