6If the vehicle breaks down
N00836300129
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder
and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder,
or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with
the hazard lights flashing, until you come to a safe stopping
place. Keep the flashers flashing.If the engine stops/failsIf the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering
and brakes, making these difficult to use.

The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not
grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than
usual.


Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel
will be hard to turn. Turning the steering wheel requires
more effort than usual.
When the engine fails at the intersectionGet help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the
vehicle and move it to a safe zone.
Jump-starting the engine
N00836400524
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or
dead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle
using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or brace-
lets that might make an accidental electrical contact.
2. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t
touching each other.
WA R N I N G
!

When using jumper cables to start a vehicle, follow
the procedures and be very cautious.CAUTION
!

Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or tow-
ing. Vehicles with automatic transaxles cannot be
started this way. Also, there is more risk of an acci-
dent when a vehicle is being pushed or towed.CAUTION
!

Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt bat-
tery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt, both systems
can be damaged.

or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N”
(Neutral). Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion.NOTE

Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This
will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.
4. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 7-21.)5. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery (A), and the other end
to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).

To remove the spare tire
N00849700127
1. Open the tailgate and use the bar to remove the cover (A)
over the tire hanger mounting bolt.
Refer to “Flap-fold tailgate: To open” on page 3-60.


The compact spare tire should be used only tempo-
rarily. While the compact spare tire is being used,
the tire pressure monitoring system will not function
properly. Have the tire replaced or repaired at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice as soon as possible.


Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with
the compact spare tire.


Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving
with the compact spare tire.


Do not drive through automatic car washes and over
obstacles that could possibly damage the underside
of your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is
smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance
between the ground and your vehicle.


Because the compact spare tire is designed only for
your vehicle, do not use it on any other vehicle.


Do not put the compact spare tire on a different
wheel, and do not put standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings on the compact spare
wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or
other parts on your vehicle.


Do not use tire chains with your compact spare tire.
Using a chain could cause damage to your vehicle
and loss of the chains.CAUTION

7-2 Vehicle care and maintenance
7Service precautions
N00937300286
Taking regular care of your vehicle will preserve its value and
appearance as long as possible.
You can do some of the maintenance work yourself, and the
rest should only be performed by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
If you discover a malfunction or other problem, have it cor-
rected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.
This section describes the maintenance inspections that you
can do yourself, if you so desire. Follow the instructions and
precautions for each procedure.
Have you purchased the Mitsubishi Motors Diamond Care Pro-
tection Plan? The Plan supplements your new vehicle warran-
ties. See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.
WA R N I N G
!

When checking or servicing the inside of the engine
compartment, be sure the engine is stopped and has
had a chance to cool down.


If you need to work in the engine compartment with
the engine running, be especially careful that your
clothing, hair, etc. does not get caught in the fan,
drive belts, or other moving parts.


The fan can turn on automatically even if the engine
is not running. Turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position to be safe while you work in the
engine compartment.


Do not smoke or allow open flames around fuel or
the battery. The fumes are flammable.


Be extremely careful when working around the bat-
tery. It contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric
acid.


Do not get under your vehicle while it is on a jack.
Always use properly rated automotive jack stands.


Handling your vehicle’s parts and materials in the
wrong way can injure you. Ask an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice if you have questions.WA R N I N G
