To activate the external audio input mode1. Connect the headphone port of the portable audio system
to the auxiliary audio connector (A) using a commercially
available connection cord.
2. Press the CD button (B) for more than 2 seconds.
The display (C) will show “AUX” and then the external
audio input mode will be activated.
3. To deactivate the external audio input mode, press the
RADIO button (D) or the CD button (B) to switch to
another mode.
NOTE
The connected audio equipment cannot be operated with
the vehicle’s audio system.

Depending on the connected audio equipment, it may pro-
duce noise from the speakers.

Use the connected audio equipment’s own power source,
such as its battery.
Noise may be produced from the speakers if the connected
audio equipment is used while charging it using the acces-
sory socket of the vehicle.

Do not activate the external audio input mode when no
audio equipment is connected.
Otherwise, noise may be produced from the speakers.

Connect audio equipment when the external audio input
mode is deactivated or lower the vehicle’s speaker volume
before connecting it.
Noise may be produced from the speakers if audio equip-
ment is connected after the external audio input mode is
activated.

Compared to the CD player mode and radio mode, the
vehicle’s speaker volume will be lower in the external
audio input mode. Therefore, be careful when switching
from the external audio input mode to the CD player mode
or radio mode since the speaker volume will be higher.

Do not use excessive force on the connection cord. Other-
wise, the cord and connectors may be damaged.

If the connection cord alone is left connected to the auxil-
iary audio connector, noise may be produced from the
speakers.

For information on how to connect and operate the com-
mercially available audio equipment, refer to the owner’s
manual for the commercially available audio equipment.
CAUTION
!
Do not operate the connected audio equipment while
driving.
This could distract you and an accident might occur.

6If the vehicle breaks down
N00836300174
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/fails If 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.When the engine fails at the intersection Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the
vehicle and move it to a safe zone.
Jump-starting the engine
N00836400696
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. Pushing or towing a vehicle that
has a manual transaxle may overheat and damage
the catalytic converter. Also, there is more risk of an
accident 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.

3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking
brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transaxle
in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral).
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position. 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 7-15.)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).
NOTE
Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 7-15.)

Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could result.

Check the jumper cables for damage and corrosion before
use.
WA R N I N G
!
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position on
both vehicles. Make sure that the cables or your
clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
WA R N I N G
!
If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or looks frozen,
DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMP STARTING!!
The battery might split open or explode if the tem-
perature is below the freezing point or if it is not
filled to the proper level.

6. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative
(-) terminal of the booster battery (B), and the other end to
the engine block of the vehicle with the low battery (A) at
the point farthest from the battery.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the
engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the
vehicle with the low battery.8. After the engine is started, disconnect the cables in the
reverse order from the way you connected them.
WA R N I N G
!
Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting
the batteries, of: →→→.
Make sure that the connection is made to the
engine properly. If the connection is directly made to
the negative side of the battery, the flammable gases
from inside the battery might catch fire and explode,
causing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise sparks can make the battery explode.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that the jumper cable will not be caught
in the cooling fan or other moving parts in the
engine compartment.
WA R N I N G
!
Charging your battery while it is still in your vehicle
might cause the battery to catch fire and explode. If
you have to charge it while in the vehicle, disconnect
the negative terminal.
Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the
battery because the battery may explode.
Keep your work area well vented when charging or
using the battery in an enclosed space.
Remove all the caps before charging the battery.
Electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive diluted sul-
phuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact with your
hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your
vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. If electrolyte
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately and thor-
oughly with water, and get prompt medical atten-
tion.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when
working near the battery.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

Low battery chargeIf you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge after the
engine has been started by using jumper cables, the engine may
misfire. This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning
light to blink on and off. This is only due to the low battery
voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure the charging system is
operating properly.
Engine overheating
N00836500222
If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator moves to the
“H” (hot) position (red zone), the engine may be overheated. If
this happens:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warn-
ing flashers.
2. With the engine still running, carefully raise the engine
hood to vent the engine compartment.
3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not
turning, stop the engine immediately and contact an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for assistance.
4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood,
turn off the engine.
WA R N I N G
!
To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair, jewelry
and clothes away from the cooling fan. The cooling
fan can start at any time.
