E00800502503
If
the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To
start the engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles. CAUTION
l
Do
not attempt to start the engine by pull-
ing or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get
the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. CAUTION
l
Check
the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles. 2. Turn
off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an A/T, CVT in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in
“N” (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion or put the operation mode in OFF. WARNING
l Perform
step 4 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
5. Make
sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 8-08. WARNING
l If
electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.

to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-12.)
If the tyre pressure has apparently not drop-
ped, the emergency repair procedure is com-
plete. You must still not exceed a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
NOTE l If the tyre pressure has dropped below the
specified level when you check it at the end
of the repair procedure, do not drive the vehi-
cle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or anoth-
er specialist.
l In cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driving
distance necessary until completion of the re-
pair can be longer than in warmer conditions,
meaning that the tyre pressure can drop be-
low the specified level even when you have
inflated the tyre a second time and subsequent-
ly driven the vehicle. If this happens, inflate
the tyre to the specified pressure once more,
drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles),
then check the tyre pressure again. If the tyre
pressure has again dropped below the speci-
fied level, stop driving the vehicle and con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist.
20. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to the steering wheel at the position shown in the il-
lustration. Then immediately drive with great
care to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author- ized Service Point or another specialist and
have tyre repair/replacement performed.
CAUTION
l
Do
not affix the sticker anywhere except
the specified position on the pad of the
steering wheel. Affixing the sticker in an
incorrect position could prevent the SRS
airbag from working normally.
l Be sure to check the tyre pressure for con-
firmation that the emergency repair pro-
cedure is complete.
NOTE l Please

give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point when you purchase new sealant or dis-
pose of the sealant bottle according to nation-
al regulations for the disposal of chemical
waste. l
A
tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new
one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist. Note that a proper
repair is impossible following an emergency
repair if the puncture hole cannot be located.
l Wipe away any sealant that gets on the
wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with a
new one, the wheel can be reused.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained through im-
proper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage sus-
tained through re-use of any tyre in which
tyre sealant has been used. For emergencies

CAUTION
l
The temporary spare wheel is for tempo-
rary use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the temporary spare wheel.
l The T155/90D16 or T125/90D16 size
spare wheel is not as good as a standard
wheel in controllability and stability.
When the temporary spare wheel is used,
avoid quick starts, sudden braking and
sharp steering.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of
the standard tyre. When the temporary
spare tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sud-
den braking and sharp steering.
l The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should
not be used on any other vehicle.
When you purchase a 215/65R16 size
spare wheel, be sure to purchase the type
designed specially for your vehicle from
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. CAUTION
l
Do not use tyre chains with your tempora-
ry spare wheel. Because of the smaller
tyre size, a tyre chain will not fit proper-
ly. This could cause damage to the wheel
and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a rear wheel
with the temporary spare wheel and then
use the removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains. CAUTION
l
Upon
installation of the T155/90D16 or
T125/90D16 size spare wheel, the ground
clearance is reduced as the tyre is smaller
in diameter than the standard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the
road, take care not to damage the vehi-
cle’s undercarriage. CAUTION
l
Do
not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.
To remove the spare wheel E00803300117
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To

remove the spare wheel, remove the instal-
lation clamp (A) by turning it anticlockwise. NOTE
l Put

the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. For emergencies

OGWE12E1

The correct tyre pressures are shown on the
driver’s door label. See the illustration.
CAUTION
l
The temporary spare wheel is to be used
only temporarily when the standard
wheel is damaged. Repair the damaged
tyre as soon as possible and use it to re-
place the temporary spare tyre.
l After changing the tyre and driving the ve-
hicle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retight-
en the wheel nuts to make sure that they
have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor han-
dling. To store the flat tyre or spare wheel
E00803400176
1.

Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To store the flat tyre or spare wheel, fit the installation clamp (A) by turning it clockwise. NOTE
l On

vehicles with a T155/90D16 or
T125/90D16 size spare wheel, the clamp can-
not be used for a normal size tyre.
3. Have your damaged tyre repaired as soon as possible.
To store the tools and jack E00803800154
Reverse the removing procedure when storing the
jack, jack bar and wheel nut wrench.

Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion
(M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (CVT).
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a rope
secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle or
if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful at-
tention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. The front towing hook (A) is located asshown in the illustration. Secure the tow rope
to the front towing hook. NOTE
l Do

not use the tie-down hooks (B) for tow-
ing. These hooks are provided only for the
purpose of transporting the vehicle itself.
Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hook (A) could result in damage to the ve-
hicle body. l
Using
a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
2. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, perform the fol-
lowing operation to unlock the steering wheel.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position (M/T) or “ON” position
(CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation sys-
tem]
Put the operation mode in ACC or ON (M/T)
or ON (CVT).
NOTE l For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate the
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stop-
ping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 4-21. WARNING
l When
the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering system
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual. CAUTION
l
Do
not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode
in OFF. The steering wheel will lock, caus-
ing loss of control.
3. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.)
5. During towing make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed. CAUTION
l
The
person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack. For emergencies

Operation under adverse driving
conditions E00801702531
On a flooded road l Avoid
flooded roads. Water could enter the
brake discs, resulting in temporarily ineffec-
tive brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the
brake pedal to see if the brakes operate prop-
erly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal
several times while driving in order to dry
the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with many
puddles a layer of water may form between
the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance on
the road, resulting in loss of steering stability
and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at slow speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified tyre inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road l The

use of snow tyres or tyre chains is recom-
mended for driving on snow and ice.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains”
sections.
l Avoid high-speed driving, sudden accelera-
tion, sudden braking, and sharp turns. l
Depressing
the brake pedal during travel on
snowy or icy roads may cause tyre slippage
and skidding. Tyres may slip if the ability of
the tyres to grip the road surface lessens.
This may make it more difficult to stop the
vehicle with normal braking operations. For
vehicles with an anti-lock brake system
(ABS), firmly depress and hold down the
brake pedal.
l Allow extra distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sud-
den braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking system
can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from
a standstill slowly after confirming safety
around the vehicle. CAUTION
l
Do
not press the accelerator pedal rapid-
ly. If the wheels break free of the ice, the
vehicle could suddenly start moving and
possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road l Drive

as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads. CAUTION
l
The
impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can
damage the tyre and/or wheel. For emergencies
